Cookie Policy — GST Calculator India

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They let the site remember things about your visit, such as your preferences or which ads you have seen. The term "cookies" here also covers similar browser storage technologies, including local storage.

The site uses two kinds of browser storage:

• Advertising cookies (third-party) — set by Google AdSense and its partners to serve and measure ads on this website. These may be used to show you personalized ads based on your browsing activity across sites.
• Local storage (first-party) — a single value we write under the key gst-calc-theme to remember your light or dark theme preference.

The calculator itself sets no cookies and sends no data to our servers — your calculations never leave your browser.

We show advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve more relevant ads, limit how often you see a given ad, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

• These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, opt out at adssettings.google.com.
• You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings — every major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) lets you block or delete cookies and site data. Check your browser's privacy or settings menu.
• Google Ads Settings — opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com. Opting out only stops personalized ads; you may still see generic ads.
• Industry opt-outs — sites such as aboutads.info allow you to opt out of participating companies' interest-based advertising.

Blocking advertising cookies will not break the GST calculator — it only changes which ads you see.

We store one value in your browser's local storage, keyed gst-calc-theme, to remember whether you prefer the light or dark theme. This is not a tracking cookie: it contains no personal information and is never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Some browsers let you send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) request to websites. Because the site collects no personal data through cookies of its own, we do not currently act on DNT signals, but we honor the stronger controls described above — including the Google Ads opt-out.

We may update this cookie policy when browser technology, advertising partners, or legal requirements change. The latest version is always on this page, with an updated "Last updated" date.

If you have questions about cookies or this policy, email contact@openpixal.com or read our Privacy Policy.
