Optional dating-tracker storage

The dating tracker saves a log in local storage only when you choose Save on this browser. The key is pool-report-private-dates-v1. It contains date entries, meeting sources, date types, and personal costs. It has no automatic expiry.

Use Delete all tracker data to remove the saved log and the current entries. Browser controls can also remove the saved log. Exported files remain on your device. This storage is separate from analytics consent and is not encrypted. Avoid saving a log on a shared browser.

The short version

Google Analytics does not load unless you say yes. If you agree, it uses browser cookies to measure site use. The calculator does not need an account. It does not save your chosen settings in cookies. Use Cookie settings in the footer to change your choice.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device. Similar technologies, including local storage, can remember preferences or help measure site use. This policy calls them out separately rather than treating every technology as the same.

The calculator does not save settings

The site does not currently store calculator selections in cookies or browser local storage. A shareable result link can include selected filters in its URL. This lets the same calculation be reproduced. Browser history and services that receive the URL may therefore see those selections.

When a link includes sanitized campaign or creator labels, those labels can be kept in session storage for the current tab. This lets attribution survive navigation. Session storage closes with the tab.

Google Analytics cookies

Scroll the table sideways to see the duration. With a keyboard, focus the table and use the arrow keys.

These are Google’s published GA4 defaults. Browser limits or Google configuration can shorten them.

Legacy study cookie

The study has ended. The site no longer sets or uses this cookie. An existing cookie can remain until it expires or you clear it in your browser.

Scroll the table sideways to see the duration. With a keyboard, focus the table and use the arrow keys.

The cookie contains only the word submitted. It does not contain the research answers. It is HTTP-only and cannot be read by ordinary page scripts.

What analytics measures

Google Analytics may receive page URLs and titles, approximate geography, device and browser information, referral information, session statistics, and selected interaction events. Calculator events can include filters, state codes, result ratios, and spend bands. This site does not intentionally send names, email addresses, or phone numbers to Google Analytics.

No advertising cookies today

The current site does not load an advertising network or use cookies for targeted advertising. If advertising, additional analytics vendors, accounts, or personalization are added, this policy must be updated before those technologies are enabled.

How to turn off analytics cookies

You can decline before Google Analytics loads. Use Cookie settings in the footer to change your choice. You can also delete cookies and local storage in browser settings. The calculator works without analytics.

Global Privacy Control is a browser setting that can signal you do not want data sold or used for targeted ads. The site currently does neither. Google Analytics stays off until you allow it. Cookieless page counts set no cookies. They stop when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, or when you choose No thanks.

Browser and device controls

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and site storage. Blocking storage can prevent optional tracker saves and remembered analytics choices. The calculators still work. Deleting the participation cookie does not delete a previously submitted private research record. Settings apply per browser and device.
