A direct inventory of Google Analytics cookies, browser controls, measurement data, and what is not currently installed.
EFFECTIVE JULY 21, 2026Google Analytics loads when a page opens and uses first-party cookies for measurement. The calculator itself does not need an account and does not store its selected settings in cookies. If you voluntarily submit a research response, one first-party cookie prevents an ordinary browser from submitting again. You can block or clear cookies through browser controls.
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 site does not currently store calculator selections in cookies or browser local storage. A shareable result link can include selected filters in its URL so the same calculation can be reproduced. Browser history and services that receive the URL may therefore see those selections.
These are Google’s published GA4 defaults. Browser limits or Google configuration can shorten them.
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.
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, but this site does not intentionally send names, email addresses, or phone numbers to Google Analytics.
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.
You can block or delete cookies in browser settings. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on that disables Google Analytics measurement on sites you visit. Blocking analytics cookies should not prevent the calculator from working.
Global Privacy Control is designed to signal opt-outs from sale or targeted advertising. The site currently does neither; it does not use that signal to disable ordinary audience measurement.
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and site storage. Blocking all storage may prevent the site from remembering research participation, but the calculators themselves should continue to work. Deleting the participation cookie does not delete a previously submitted private research record. Settings apply per browser and device.
