4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

MoneyCounter.site uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — for the following purposes:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the site to function. They remember your preferences (such as your selected currency in the money counter tool) during a browsing session. Without these, parts of the site may not work correctly.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. These tools use cookies to collect aggregated data such as page views, time on site, and traffic sources. This data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.

4.3 Advertising Cookies

Google AdSense places cookies on your browser to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing history across the web. These cookies are set by Google, not by us. You can learn more about how Google uses data by visiting Google’s advertising policies.

4.4 Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some features of the site work.

5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

MoneyCounter.site participates in the Google AdSense program to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet.

As a result of this, you may see ads that are tailored to topics you have previously searched for or websites you have visited. This is called interest-based advertising.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. We do not have access to or control over the cookies used by Google or other third-party advertisers.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Our website is hosted on a third-party server. Our hosting provider may have access to server log data as part of normal operations. They are bound by confidentiality obligations and do not use this data for their own purposes.
• Analytics: If we use Google Analytics, aggregated, anonymized data is shared with Google. This data cannot identify you personally.
• Legal Requirements: If we are required by law, court order, or government request to disclose information, we will do so. We will notify you if legally permitted to do so.
• Protection of Rights: If we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of MoneyCounter.site, our users, or others, we may share relevant information with appropriate parties.

In no other circumstances do we share your personal information.

7. Data Retention

We retain different types of data for different periods:

• Contact form messages: We retain your messages for as long as necessary to address your inquiry, typically no longer than 12 months after our last correspondence.
• Server logs: Standard server access logs are retained for up to 90 days for security and diagnostic purposes, after which they are automatically deleted.
• Analytics data: Aggregated, anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify individuals.

If you would like us to delete any specific data related to you, please contact us and we will process your request promptly.

We take the security of your information seriously. Our website uses HTTPS (SSL encryption) to ensure that data transmitted between your browser and our server is protected.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

If you have reason to believe your interaction with us has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

As a reminder, all calculations you perform using our tools remain entirely within your browser and are never transmitted to our servers. This means your financial data is never at risk from our end.
