1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, provide security, and convey reporting information to website operators.
In addition to cookies, modern web applications may utilize related storage technologies such as Local Storage and Session Storage. These browser mechanisms store information directly on your device without sending data in every HTTP header, allowing for instant user interface personalization (such as remembering your Dark or Light mode preference).
2. How Toolwingz Calculator Uses Cookies & Browser Storage
Toolwingz Calculator uses cookies and local storage for specific, transparent purposes:
- Essential Website Operations: To ensure network security, maintain system stability, and prevent cross-site request forgery.
- Remembering User Preferences: Storing your preferred color scheme (Light or Dark mode) to avoid visual flicker during navigation.
- Consent Management: Recording your cookie and privacy choices so you are not asked repeatedly on every page load.
- Advertising Delivery & Measurement: Delivering advertisements, limiting repetitive ad views, detecting invalid traffic, and—where permitted—displaying personalized ads.
- Analytics & Performance: Measuring aggregate visitor counts, page performance, and diagnostic errors when analytics technologies are enabled.
| Key / Technology | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| tw_theme | Essential / Preference | Remembers your selected Dark or Light visual theme. | Persistent until cleared |
| tw_last_sys | Essential / Preference | Tracks system preference changes to synchronize color mode automatically. | Persistent until cleared |
| tw_consent_preferences | Essential / Consent | Stores your cookie consent selections (necessary, preferences, analytics, advertising). | 12 months or until modified |
| Google AdSense Cookies | Advertising / Marketing | Used by Google to serve ads, limit repeated views, prevent fraud, and measure effectiveness. | Determined by Google (up to 13 months) |
3. Client-Side Calculator Processing Guarantee
When using tools such as our BAC Calculator, your calculation parameters—including body weight, gender, alcoholic beverages logged, and resulting blood alcohol estimations—are calculated locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript.
These personal calculation inputs are never recorded in cookies, sent to advertising partners, or stored in marketing databases. When you close or refresh the page, the active calculation state in temporary memory is reset.
4. Advertising Technologies (Google AdSense)
Toolwingz Calculator is supported by digital advertising, allowing us to keep all calculators, guides, and tools freely accessible. We work with third-party advertising partners, primarily Google AdSense.
Advertising technologies may set or read cookies and device identifiers for:
- Ad Delivery & Serving: Displaying commercial banners and responsive ad units on our pages.
- Measurement & Auditing: Recording impressions and verifying ad viewability.
- Frequency Capping: Ensuring you do not repeatedly see the exact same advertisement.
- Fraud Detection & Security: Safeguarding against bot traffic, click fraud, and automated abuse.
- Personalization (With Consent): When consented to in applicable regions, Google and certified vendors may personalize ads based on past browsing activity.
Note: Rejecting personalized advertising does not mean you will see no advertisements. It means ads displayed to you will be non-personalized (contextual), based on the content of the page you are viewing rather than your prior online behavior.
5. Analytics Technologies
When analytics tools are activated, they collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable telemetry regarding page views, navigation paths, browser types, and technical errors. This data is used solely to troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and improve calculator features. Users may opt out of performance analytics at any time through their cookie consent choices or browser settings.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You maintain direct control over non-essential browser technologies. You can configure your privacy choices when prompted upon visiting Toolwingz or manage your permissions directly through your browser settings as detailed below.
