Cookie Policy for Fin Tools Lab

Last Updated: June 8, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Fin Tools Lab ("Company", "we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://FinToolsLab.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. In such cases, our Privacy Policy will apply in addition to this Cookie Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Fin Tools Lab) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. For example, Fin Tools Lab uses cookies to remember your calculator inputs if you navigate away and return. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

Essential Website Cookies:

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, as described below under the heading "How can I control cookies?".

Provider: Fin Tools Lab
Purpose: To manage user sessions, maintain calculator state (e.g., through localStorage which is not a cookie but related to client-side storage for user preferences like theme, or calculator inputs via Zustand store persistence), and ensure basic site functionality and security. For example, our consent management platform may set a cookie to remember your consent preferences.

Performance and Functionality Cookies:

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like remembering your preferred theme or calculator inputs across sessions) may become unavailable.

Provider: Fin Tools Lab
Purpose: To remember your preferences and settings (e.g., theme choice, previously entered calculator data if persisted locally by our Zustand store) to provide a more personalized experience.

Analytics and Customization Cookies:

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.

Provider: Google Analytics (or similar analytics provider if integrated)
Purpose: To collect data on website traffic and user behavior, such as pages visited, time spent on site, and user demographics. This helps us improve the Website and user experience. These cookies may track things like how long you spend on the site or pages you visit which helps us to understand how we can improve the site for you.

Advertising Cookies (e.g., from Google AdSense):

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. For AdSense, Google uses cookies to help serve the ads it displays on the websites of its partners, such as websites displaying Google ads or participating in Google certified ad networks. When users visit a Google partner's website, a cookie may be dropped on that end user's browser.

Provider: Google AdSense (and its associated network partners)
Purpose: To display personalized and non-personalized advertisements. These cookies may track your browsing habits across websites to build a profile of your interests, which is then used to show you more relevant ads. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Further Information: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see: www.google.com/policies/technologies/partner-sites.

4. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by using our cookie consent banner/tool when you first visit our Website. This tool will allow you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject.

Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

To opt-out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

6. Local Storage

We may use Local Storage (such as HTML5 local storage) for purposes similar to cookies, such as storing your preferences for the calculator (e.g., theme, last entered values if configured for persistence via Zustand). Local Storage is different from cookies in the amount of data it can store and how it is stored. You can usually control Local Storage through your browser’s settings (e.g., by clearing browsing data).

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.

8. Consent Withdrawal

If you have previously given your consent to the use of certain cookies, you can withdraw your consent at any time. This can typically be done by accessing the cookie consent management tool (often found as a persistent link or icon on our website, or by clearing cookies for this site in your browser and re-triggering the consent banner). Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. For essential cookies, which are necessary for the website to function, consent withdrawal is not applicable in the same way, but you can manage them via browser settings, though this may impact site functionality.
