Calculator Information

The income, number of children, and other figures you enter into a state calculator are used only to generate your on-screen estimate. They are sent to our server with the form (not placed in the page address), and we do not store these figures in our database. They are not linked to your identity.

Contact Form Information

If you use our Contact page, the name, email address, and message you submit are sent to us by email so we can respond to you. We do not add you to a mailing list or share this information with third parties.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. This site itself needs no account or login. Cookies and similar technologies on this site mainly come from the third-party services described below: analytics, affiliate links and advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may change which ads you see, but the calculators will still work.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Affiliate Links (Amazon Associates)

This site participates in the Amazon Associates program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through links on this site, at no additional cost to you. When you click an Amazon link, Amazon may set cookies on your device so it can record the referral. Amazon's handling of your information is described in the Amazon Privacy Notice.

Analytics (Google Analytics) and Server Logs

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how people arrive. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information like your approximate location, device and browser type, and pages visited. We do not send the figures you enter into a calculator to Google Analytics. To learn how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Our web hosting provider may also keep standard server logs, which can include your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and to keep the site running.

Third-Party Links

Our pages link to official government and court websites and to retailers. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
