What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember things between visits and allow certain features to work.
Your Cookie Choices
We ask for your consent before placing any non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential cookies (always active)
These cookies are necessary for the website to work as expected and cannot be switched off.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
The tools themselves do not require cookies. Everything you enter into a chart maker, counter or list comparer is processed in your browser and is never sent to or stored on our servers.
2. Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site, so we know which tools are worth improving. We use Google Analytics 4.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Persists session state | 2 years |
3. Advertising cookies
These cookies are used to show advertisements, which is how this site stays free. We use Google AdSense; Google and its partners may set cookies including the following.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google AdSense | Used to measure ad conversion and efficiency | 3 months |
| IDE | Google / DoubleClick | Used to measure ad effectiveness and serve targeted ads | 1 year |
| DSID | Google / DoubleClick | Used for targeting and advertising purposes | 2 weeks |
| NID | Contains a unique ID Google uses to remember your preferences | 6 months |
Because these cookies are set by Google rather than by us, the exact list and durations are controlled by Google and may change.
Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode v2. For visitors in the European Economic Area, analytics and advertising storage are denied by default until you make a choice in the cookie banner. Elsewhere they are granted by default and you can opt out at any time through Cookie Settings.
Third-Party Cookies
- Google Analytics — website analytics (Google's Privacy Policy)
- Google AdSense — displaying advertisements (Google's Ad Policies)
Managing Cookies
Through our cookie banner
Use the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer to review or change your preferences at any time.
Through your browser
Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or set preferences for specific websites.
Blocking all cookies will also clear the preference that records your consent choice, so the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
Opt-Out Links
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Google Ads: Google Ads Settings
- General ad preferences: Your Online Choices (EU) or AboutAds.info (US)
