Cookie Policy

About this policy

This policy explains cookies, similar technologies and privacy preferences at buzcalculator.com. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Questions can be sent to contact@buzcalculator.com.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small pieces of information a browser can store and send with later requests to a website. Local browser storage keeps information for a website in that browser without automatically sending it with requests. Other technologies can cache files or support security. Storage is not always used for tracking; its purpose matters.

What we use today

The BuzCalculator application sets no application cookies. It uses first-party localStorage to remember a privacy choice you save and, separately, a limited One-Rep Max result history only if you select Save result locally. You can delete or clear those saved lifts in that calculator; this requested feature works regardless of optional tracking preferences. We currently have no optional analytics, advertising scripts or ad-network placements, behavioral profiling, marketing pixels, optional personalization, third-party embeds or application fingerprinting. We do not use a third-party consent platform.

The Creatine Dosage Calculator also provides explicitly requested functional storage: Start my loading tracker saves only seven completion flags and a format version under buzcalculator.creatine.loading.v1. No weight, dose, scoop, date or visitor identifier is saved or sent to a server. Reset unchecks days; Clear tracker deletes the record. It has no automatic expiry and works after Reject all cookies. This is functional checklist storage, not analytics or advertising. Starting again can resume it; when storage is blocked, it works in tab memory.

The Caloric Deficit Timeline Planner has separate requested functional storage under buzcalculator.deficit.progress.v1, created only after Start tracking progress. It contains a version, start date, starting and goal weights, and dated weight check-ins, with no calorie inputs, medical details or identifiers. Nothing is transmitted for calculation. Delete check-in removes one entry; Clear all progress data deletes the record. Stop tracking pauses the tab view without deleting saved data. Records remain until cleared or removed by the browser and can be resumed explicitly. This is not analytics or advertising storage and works after Reject all cookies, with tab-memory fallback if storage is blocked.

Ordinary calculator values remain in tab memory, not in privacy preferences. Tire Size and Gas Mileage Cost can export input-containing links when you choose to share; Car Depreciation can share result text. Opening a shared link sends its URL to hosting infrastructure. These voluntary features are separate from tracking and are explained in the Privacy Policy.

Necessary technologies

Website delivery, network connections, HTTPS/TLS, caching, security and abuse prevention support operation of the site. Remembering your privacy choice is also necessary to honor that choice. These functions are always on and cannot be switched off through our optional-category controls. Necessary preference storage is separate from optional analytics and advertising storage. Your browser may separately let you restrict storage or clear site data.

Analytics — currently inactive

Cloudflare Web Analytics is prepared but disabled: no site token is configured and no analytics beacon loads. If approved, it would measure page visits and browser performance, including page and referrer URLs and a per-page identifier. Cloudflare documents that its beacon does not use cookies or browser storage; requests still expose connection information to Cloudflare. We will review URL data, applicable consent rules and provider disclosures before activation. Existing saved choices do not authorize this new provider.

Analytics is currently not active. This category is reserved for future optional measurement of how the site is used. No application analytics provider receives your calculator inputs or browsing events from BuzCalculator today.

Advertising technologies and affiliate links

Optional advertising technologies are currently inactive. This category is reserved for future ad delivery, measurement and advertising-related technologies. BuzCalculator does not currently load Google advertising scripts, display ad-network placements or serve personalized ads. Saving a preference does not activate an unconfigured integration.

BuzCalculator participates in the Amazon Associates affiliate program. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Some ordinary outbound Amazon shopping links contain affiliate tracking parameters, and we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. These links do not activate optional advertising scripts or storage on BuzCalculator.

After you follow a link, Amazon may use its own cookies or other technologies under its own privacy and cookie practices. BuzCalculator does not control that separate processing. Reject all applies to the optional technologies described for this site; it does not control Amazon’s independent website.

Personalization — currently inactive

Optional personalization is currently not active. This category would cover optional tailoring of content based on activity or preferences. Calculator inputs and results are ordinary tool functionality and remain available regardless of optional choices.

Cloudflare and infrastructure

Cloudflare provides hosting and delivery, DNS and proxying, caching, performance, HTTPS/TLS and abuse protection. It processes technical request information, including connection details and requested URLs. Network-error reporting headers may cause supporting browsers to send failure reports to Cloudflare. This is infrastructure processing, separate from behavioral advertising or application analytics.

Delivery, security and diagnostic processing may involve operational request logs independently of optional Cloudflare Web Analytics. Such logs can include request methods, requested URLs and response status. Saving or withdrawing optional preferences does not switch off this infrastructure processing.

Our checked sessions did not receive infrastructure cookies, but Cloudflare security or traffic-management features may use them depending on configuration and circumstances. We do not claim that every visit is free of such cookies. See Cloudflare’s cookie documentation (opens in a new tab) and Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab). Optional-category choices do not disable necessary network or security processing.

Your choices

The first-visit notice offers Accept all, Reject all and Manage preferences. Optional categories start off. Accept all saves all three optional categories as allowed; Reject all saves them as off. Manage preferences lets you choose individual categories and Save preferences. Necessary remains on. Not now dismisses the notice for the current page session without saving a choice; optional processing stays blocked.

All optional technologies are inactive, even if you accept. Choices apply only to the current disclosed policy version. They are not blanket permission for new providers or materially different future processing. We will review the version, disclosures and required consent before activating such changes. You can use every calculator after rejection or without making a choice.

Change or withdraw preferences

Use Manage Cookie Preferences below to reopen your choices at any time. Change the optional categories and select Save preferences. Withdrawal updates the current browser’s preference immediately; connected tabs on the same site receive storage updates. Future integrations must stop processing in a withdrawn category. A browser preference cannot undo information already transmitted, but no optional analytics or ad processing is currently active here.

Preferences are specific to this browser and site, not an account or other devices. Interactive controls need JavaScript; this policy and site content remain readable without it, and optional technologies remain inactive.

How we remember your choice

We use first-party localStorage named buzcalculator.privacy-preferences, scoped to this website’s origin. It stores only necessary: true, your three optional-category choices, the policy version (currently 1) and the time you saved. It contains no visitor ID, fingerprint, email, account, location, calculator input or result. We do not send the record to our server.

The record has no automatic expiry. It remains until you clear site data or replace it with a new choice; your browser may remove it sooner. Clearing it, an invalid record or a different policy version causes the notice to appear again with optional categories off. If storage is unavailable, choices apply in tab memory and may not survive reload. We do not repeatedly ask while a valid saved choice remains.

Future Google publisher advertising

No Google advertising is active. Before introducing it, we will review then-current Google publisher and consent requirements, disclose actual providers and uses, and implement a Google-certified consent platform and IAB Transparency and Consent Framework support where required. Our custom preference controls are not a Google-certified platform and do not establish approval or universal legal compliance.

Policy and consent-version changes

We may update this policy as technologies, providers, analytics, advertising, personalization or legal and policy requirements change. Substantive policy changes update the Last updated date. Material new purposes or vendor usage also require a consent-version review and renewed choices where appropriate. Minor wording corrections alone do not normally require a new choice.
