Cookie Policy
The short version: this site stores a few small preferences in your browser. Analytics cookies appear only after you accept cookies in the banner. No advertising cookies, and no account cookies.
What does TipsCalculator.us store in my browser?
Three small preference values, all stored in your browser, none sent to a server. They remember choices you made on this site, so you are not asked again on every visit.
| What it remembers | How long it lasts |
|---|---|
| Your cookie choice in the banner | Until you clear your browser data |
| Whether you dismissed the "Add as a preferred source on Google" card | Until you clear your browser data |
| Whether you dismissed the quick calculator bar on a phone | Until you close the tab |
Your bill amounts, tip percentages, and split counts are never stored. Every calculation happens in your browser and disappears when you leave the page.
Does the site use analytics or advertising cookies?
Analytics cookies appear only after you accept. If you accept cookies in the banner, Google Analytics loads through Google Tag Manager and may set cookies to count visits and see which pages people use. If you decline, no analytics loads and no analytics cookies are set. No advertising network runs on this site, so no advertising cookies are ever set. Our Privacy Policy explains the full approach to data.
What about Google services?
Three Google services touch this site. First, the fonts come from Google Fonts. Font files set no cookies, but the request goes to Google servers, and Google may log it under the Google Privacy Policy.
Second, the "Add as a preferred source on Google" card uses a Google script, and that script loads only after you accept cookies in the banner. Google may set cookies for that feature under its own policy. If you decline, the script never loads, and the card opens the Google preferences page directly instead.
Third, Google Tag Manager loads only after you accept cookies in the banner, and it runs Google Analytics. Google may set analytics cookies under its own policy. If you decline, Tag Manager never loads.
How do I change my cookie choice?
Clear the stored choice and reload the page, and the banner appears again. In most browsers, open Settings, then Privacy, then clear site data for tipscalculator.us. You can also block cookies in your browser settings.
Declining cookies does not break the calculators. The tip math, bill splitting, and receipt sharing all work the same. Only the preferred-source button changes: it opens a plain Google page instead of the in-page flow, and no analytics runs.
