Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Liphyr uses at https://tools.liphyr.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies let a site recognise you, remember your preferences, measure how you use the site, or deliver advertising tailored to your interests. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags — for simplicity we refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies used on this site

1. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Service to function. They keep your calculator inputs consistent during a session and store lightweight preferences (for example the last calculator mode you used). They do not identify you and cannot be switched off.

2. Performance and analytics cookies

When deployed on Vercel, the Service uses Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand how the Service is used and to monitor page-load performance. These tools collect aggregated, anonymised information — such as which pages are popular, approximate country, device type, and Core Web Vitals measurements — and do not identify you personally. Vercel Analytics is described at vercel.com/docs/analytics.

3. Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)

Pages on this site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and Google's advertising partners. AdSense uses cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this and other websites, to limit the number of times you see the same ad, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's own policies. You can learn more and manage your preferences at these links:

• policies.google.com/technologies/ads — Google's explanation of advertising cookies
• adssettings.google.com — manage or opt out of personalised advertising across Google
• aboutads.info — industry opt-out tool covering multiple advertising networks

4. Affiliate tracking cookies

Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click through and subsequently make a purchase or sign up with a partner, we may receive a small commission at no cost to you. The affiliate partner sets a cookie on your device so that a future conversion can be attributed correctly. These cookies do not collect personally identifying information beyond what is needed for the attribution.

How to control cookies

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies, and to block cookies from specific sites or all sites. Consult your browser's help documentation for the exact steps. Blocking cookies may affect how this Service or other websites function.

For advertising cookies specifically, you can also use the Google Ads Settings and industry opt-out tools linked above to opt out of personalised advertising.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices change (for example, if we add a new analytics provider or advertising partner). The current version will always be available at this URL, with a refreshed effective date.
