What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit websites. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.
Our Cookie Use
Bitumen Calculator uses cookies and local storage minimally and only for legitimate purposes. Specifically:
Essential Cookies (Functional)
We use local storage to remember one preference:
- PWA Installation Banner: We store your choice to dismiss the app installation banner. This allows us not to show the banner repeatedly after you've dismissed it.
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled while using our Service.
Analytics Cookies
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve the quality and relevance of our content and services. Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated.
Third-Party Cookies
We do not use third-party cookies for advertising, tracking, or marketing purposes. We do not sell your data to third parties, and we do not use data brokers.
Data We Do NOT Collect
Bitumen Calculator does NOT use:
- Advertising cookies or pixels
- Social media tracking cookies
- User profiling or behavior tracking
- Cross-site tracking
- Marketing cookies
- Session replay or screen recording tools
Your Choices
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website. You can:
- Clear local storage through your browser settings
- Disable JavaScript to prevent local storage (though this will affect calculator functionality)
- Use private/incognito browsing mode
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage only to store your PWA banner dismissal preference. Local storage is similar to cookies but allows for larger amounts of data to be stored locally on your device. All local storage data remains entirely on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

For users in the European Union and other jurisdictions with similar privacy laws, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws:
- We obtain consent before using non-essential cookies

We are committed to transparency about how we collect and use data. Your privacy is important to us, and we use cookies only for essential and improvement purposes.
