We keep cookie use minimal. CalorieFig does not use cookies to track you across other websites or for behavioral advertising. This page explains what we do use and how you can control it.

1.0 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, making your experience smoother and more personalized. Cookies are widely used across the web and are not inherently harmful.

Alongside traditional cookies, websites may use similar client-side storage technologies such as local storage and session storage. These work in similar ways but can hold more data and persist for different lengths of time. In this policy, "cookies" refers to all such client-side storage unless stated otherwise.

2.0 How We Use Cookies

CalorieFig uses cookies and local storage only where they are necessary to operate the Site or to improve your experience. We categorize the storage we use as follows:

Essential

These are required for the Site to function correctly. They include a consent cookie that remembers whether you have dismissed our cookie banner so that we do not show it to you again. Without essential storage, parts of the Site may not work as intended.

Preference

We use local storage to remember choices you make on our calculators, such as your preferred unit system (metric or imperial) or selected activity level. This means you do not have to re-enter the same settings each time you return. Preference data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Analytics

We may use limited, privacy-friendly analytics to understand which calculators and articles are most useful to our visitors. Where analytics are used, we favor tools that aggregate data without identifying individual users. We do not use analytics to build personal profiles or to track you across other websites.

We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking.

3.0 Third-Party Cookies

A small number of third-party services embedded in the Site may set their own cookies. Currently this includes:

  • Google Fonts: Used to serve the Inter typeface. Google may set cookies or receive information such as your IP address when fonts are requested. You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy.

If we add additional third-party services in the future, we will update this policy accordingly. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant provider's privacy policy for details on how they handle data.

4.0 Managing Cookies

You have full control over cookies and local storage. Most browsers let you:

  • View cookies that have been set on your device.
  • Delete existing cookies individually or all at once.
  • Block cookies from specific sites or from all sites.
  • Set preferences to clear cookies when you close your browser.

To manage cookies in your browser, refer to the help documentation for your specific browser:

Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. For example, you may see the cookie consent banner again each time you visit.

When you first visit CalorieFig, you may see a cookie consent banner. By continuing to use the Site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing cookies in your browser settings, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

Because we use minimal storage and do not engage in cross-site tracking, accepting cookies on CalorieFig has limited impact on your privacy. For more about how we handle data, see our Privacy Policy.

6.0 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in our practices, or for legal compliance. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
