Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. Similar technologies include localStorage and pixels. They let a site remember preferences and understand how it is used.

Kentucky Paycheck Calculator keeps its cookie use to a minimum — the calculator itself works without any non-essential cookies.

Essential & preference storage

These make the site function and remember basic choices. For example, your light/dark theme preference is saved in your browser's localStorage and never sent to us. Consent choices may be stored so we don't ask repeatedly.

Analytics cookies

If enabled, a privacy-respecting analytics tool (such as Google Analytics 4) may set cookies to measure anonymous, aggregate traffic — pages viewed, device type, and referral source. This is never linked to anything you type into the calculator.

Advertising cookies

If we display ads (for example, via Google AdSense), ad partners may set cookies to measure performance and, with consent where required, to personalize ads. See Google's policies at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings, use private/incognito mode, or install a content blocker — the calculator will still work. You can opt out of personalized ads through your Google ad settings or industry tools such as the DAA (optout.aboutads.info) and NAI (optout.networkadvertising.org).

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where applicable.
