Cookie Policy
Effective Date: September 18, 2026 • RoofCalc Platform
This Cookie Policy explains how RoofCalc ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit our website at https://roofcalc.org.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide analytical information to website operators.
2. How RoofCalc Uses Cookies & Browser Storage
We use browser storage technologies for three primary purposes:
A. Essential & Functional Storage (First-Party)
We use client-side localStorage to remember your chosen unit preference (Imperial feet vs. Metric meters) and recent calculation inputs. This storage is strictly local to your device and is essential for site functionality.
B. Anonymous Performance & Analytics Cookies
We may utilize aggregate, privacy-focused web analytics to measure page load speed, error rates, and popular calculator tools. These cookies do not identify individual users.
C. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
When advertising slots are enabled on RoofCalc, third-party advertising vendors (including Google AdSense) may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect non-personal information while serving ads.
3. Google DoubleClick Cookie Policy
Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their browser settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies entirely. However, blocking essential local storage may require re-entering your preferred measurement units on each visit.
