Cookie policy

As things stand, this site sets no cookies

We use no cookies for analytics, advertising or profiling. That is why there is no consent box here — there is nothing to consent to.

This document also sets out what will change once we switch statistics and advertising on. We would rather you knew in advance than found out from a banner.

What cookies are

Small text files a site stores in your browser. In themselves they are harmless: they let a service remember settings or count visits.

What matters is who sets them and why. First-party cookies come from this site; third-party cookies come from another company, an ad network for instance, and those are the ones that can follow you across different websites.

What we use instead

Your browser's local storage. We keep three things there: your light or dark theme, your language, and the estimate you started, so it survives a page refresh.

That data stays on your device and is sent nowhere. The estimate clears itself after a day. Clearing your browser data removes everything at once.

If you see Cloudflare Turnstile next to the form, it checks one thing only: that a human is sending the request. It does not profile you and does not track you across sites.

The categories we will introduce

Necessary — required for the site to work and for a request to be sent, including bot protection. Always on and no consent needed, because without them the service stops doing its job.

Analytics — show us which services people look at and where they abandon an estimate. We need them to improve the site, not to recognise individuals.

Marketing — measure how well adverts work and show them to people who have been here before. These are the most intrusive, and the ones people most often want to opt out of.

Consent: how it will work

Analytics and marketing cookies will run only after your explicit consent. Until then the site calls no external script at all.

The banner will give equally prominent accept and reject buttons, and the option to pick categories. Refusing will cost exactly one click, the same as agreeing.

Refusing blocks nothing: the calculator, the form and all the content work exactly the same.

You can withdraw consent at any time — through the same banner, or by clearing this site's data in your browser. Withdrawal works going forward and does not undo what happened before.

Who will be able to set cookies

Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd.) — visit statistics and click maps. Category: analytics.

Google (Google Ireland Ltd.) — measuring advertising performance. Category: marketing.

Meta (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) — measuring advertising performance on Facebook and Instagram. Category: marketing.

None of them is connected today. When one is switched on we will add it here with the date — this list is meant to match reality, not plans.

Managing cookies yourself

Every browser lets you review and delete stored cookies and block third-party ones. The settings are usually under privacy.

Blocking all cookies in your browser will not break this site. It may well break other services that cannot work without them.
