Welcome to GagPetCalculator. We care deeply about your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We have written it to be easy to read — not just legally acceptable. If you have any questions, please email us at hello@GagPetCalculator.com .
Grow a Garden Pet Calculator is a free pet tool operated by GagPetCalculator Ltd., based in Austin, Texas, USA. You can reach our privacy team at hello@GagPetCalculator.com.
We collect information in three ways:
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. Cookies help websites remember your preferences, measure how you use the site, and — in some cases — show you relevant advertisements. You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings (see Section 4.5 — How to Manage Cookies).
These cookies make the website work. Without them, features like dark/light mode preference and page navigation break. They do not track you for advertising purposes and do not require your consent under most privacy laws.
| Cookie Purpose | Example | Stored For |
|---|---|---|
| Theme preference (dark/light) | theme_pref | 1 year |
| Session management | session_id | Session end |
We use anonymised analytics to understand which tools our visitors find useful. This data helps us fix bugs and improve your experience. Analytics cookies never identify you as an individual.
You can opt out of analytics tracking in your browser settings or via the cookie consent banner we display on your first visit.
GagPetCalculator uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When ads appear on our pages, Google places advertising cookies on your device.
When you visit a page that contains an AdSense ad, these cookies allow Google to:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
IDE |
Used by Google DoubleClick to register and report your actions after viewing or clicking an ad — for measuring effectiveness and showing relevant ads | 13 months |
DSID |
Identifies a signed-in Google user account to link ad interactions across devices | 2 weeks |
FLC |
Frequency capping — limits how often you see the same ad | 10 seconds |
AID |
Links your activity across Google products if you previously signed into a Google account | 13 months |
TAID |
Links activity on non-Google devices to a Google account | Session |
__gads / __gpi |
Stores ad preferences and is set directly by our site (not via third-party domain) — helps measure ad performance and prevent repeated ads | 13 months |
Google may use the data it collects through AdSense cookies to:
No. GagPetCalculator does not pass your calculator inputs — such as your pet's breed, weight, or health conditions — to Google AdSense. The ads you see on this site are served based on your general browsing history across the web, not on what you enter into our pet nutrition tools. Your pet's data stays on our site.
You have full control over advertising cookies. Here are four ways to manage them:
Visit Google Ad Settings to turn off personalised advertising across all sites that use Google AdSense. Recommended.
Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics.
Block or delete cookies directly through your browser of choice:
Visit the NAI Opt-Out Tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from NAI member companies, including Google.
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, Google processes your data under Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. You have the right to:
Export your data via Google's Data Export Tool
Opt out of personalised ads at Google Ad Settings
At any time — without affecting prior processing
We display a consent banner on your first visit so you can accept or decline non-essential cookies before any advertising cookies are set.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" of your personal information. While we do not sell your data, Google's personalised advertising may qualify as a "sale" under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). You can exercise your opt-out rights by visiting Google Ad Settings or emailing us at hello@GagPetCalculator.com.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only with email service providers (who process your email on our behalf under strict contracts) and hosting providers. We would only share with law enforcement if legally required.
Some links on GagPetCalculator are affiliate links — we may earn a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence our nutrition recommendations.
We use HTTPS encryption for all data transmission. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms. Calculator session data is not stored in identifiable form. If we discover a breach affecting your data, we will notify you within 72 hours.
GagPetCalculator is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Contact hello@GagPetCalculator.com to request deletion of any such data.
You may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict your personal data. To exercise these rights, email hello@GagPetCalculator.com. We respond within 30 days.
We may update this policy from time to time. We update the date at the top when we do. Continued use of GagPetCalculator after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
