What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember if you’ve been to the website before.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
How do we use cookies?
As of the last updated date, our Site uses cookies in the following ways:
- Local Storage for Functionality: While not strictly a cookie, we use browser local storage for the "Save Current Setup" feature in our Pool Salt Calculator. This allows you to save your calculation parameters (like pool volume and salt levels) directly in your browser for your convenience. This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
- Essential Site Operation: Some cookies may be used by our hosting platform or underlying web technologies (like Next.js) for essential site functionality, such as session management or security. These are typically anonymous and do not track personal activity.
- Third-Party Services (If Applicable): If we embed content from third parties (e.g., analytics services like Google Analytics, advertising partners), these third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third parties for more information. As of now, we aim to minimize the use of such third-party services that set non-essential cookies.
Types of cookies we may use

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
- Functionality Cookies: These allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. (Currently, we do not use advertising cookies).
