This Privacy Policy explains what information The Price of a Pet (costcalculator.pet, "we," "us") collects when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep it plain: this is an informational site, and we collect as little as possible.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and our cost calculators run entirely in your browser — the numbers you enter are not sent to us or stored on our servers. We do not knowingly collect names, email addresses, or payment information through the site.
Like most websites, our hosting provider and the third-party services below may automatically receive standard technical information when you load a page, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to serve the site, keep it secure, and understand aggregate traffic.
Cookies and advertising
The Price of a Pet is supported by display advertising. We use Google AdSense to serve ads. In connection with this:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior 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/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices and optout.networkadvertising.org.
- Third-party advertising networks and vendors may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about your activity on this and other sites to provide you targeted advertising based on your interests.
For more on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms. Most browsers also let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings; doing so will not break the calculators but may affect the ads you see.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand which pages are useful. Any such data is used only in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general, adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. Because we do not maintain user accounts, most requests are handled through the ad-settings and opt-out links above. If you have a specific request, contact us at hello@costcalculator.pet.
Links to other sites
Our guides sometimes link to third-party sites (for example, pet-insurance providers or veterinary resources). Some of these are affiliate links, disclosed on our Affiliate Disclosure. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to; review their policies separately.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above.
