ganak.appCookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Ganak.app ("Ganak", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. We want to be transparent about how and why certain information may be stored on or retrieved from your device when you use our Site.
What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to site owners.
Local Storage
Local Storage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data on your device, similar to cookies but larger and more persistent. Unlike cookies, data in local storage is not automatically sent to the server with each request.
There are also other technologies like session storage, web beacons, or pixels. In this policy, we collectively refer to all these as "cookies or similar technologies" for simplicity.
How We Use Cookies/Local Storage
Ganak uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, deliver ads, and measure performance. Here's what is used:
Essential/Functional Storage
We use local storage on your browser to remember your preferences:
Theme Preference
When you toggle between light and dark mode, we save your choice in local storage (key: "theme"). This ensures the site loads in your preferred theme on future visits.
Recently Used Calculators
We store a list of your recently accessed calculators (key: "ganak_recently_used") for quick access. This data resides only on your device and won't follow you across browsers.
Other Preferences
We may introduce other functional storage items over time (e.g., remembering if you've seen a feature tour). These are always purely for improving your experience.
Advertising Cookies
Ganak displays ads through Google AdSense to keep our calculators free. Google and its advertising partners may set cookies to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance:
Google AdSense
Google uses cookies (such as those from the DoubleClick domain) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
Google Funding Choices (Consent Management)
For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Switzerland, we use Google Funding Choices as our consent management platform. It presents a consent banner on your first visit, allowing you to accept or decline advertising and analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in a cookie so you are not asked again. You can change your preferences at any time using the "Ad Privacy Settings" link in the footer.
Analytics
Ganak uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga and _gid) to distinguish users and track page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. In the EEA/UK, analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent via the consent banner. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cloudflare Cookies (Infrastructure)
Since our site is hosted through Cloudflare, they may place certain cookies for security and efficient delivery (e.g., __cf_bm for bot management, __cflb for load balancing). These are managed by Cloudflare, not us, and do not track you beyond our site.
Cookie Consent
Functional Cookies
Essential/functional cookies (theme preference, recently used calculators) are placed without requiring consent, as they are necessary for site functionality.
Advertising & Analytics Cookies
For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, advertising and analytics cookies are blocked by default until you provide consent through the Google Funding Choices banner shown on your first visit. For visitors outside these regions, these cookies are enabled by default but you can opt out at any time via the "Ad Privacy Settings" link in the footer or through your Google Ads Settings.
How to Control or Delete Cookies
You have the right and ability to control cookies and local storage:
Most browsers allow you to see and clear cookies and local storage in Privacy or Site Settings. Use incognito mode to automatically clear data when you close the session.
You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or use your browser's tracking protection features.
Since we don't do cross-site tracking, this setting doesn't significantly alter your experience on Ganak.
You can manually remove stored preferences via your browser's developer tools. The site will reset to default settings until you use it again.
If you disable cookies and local storage entirely, certain features may not work properly. For instance, the site won't remember your dark mode choice on next visit.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as needed. The "Effective Date" at the top indicates when changes were last made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If we make a significant change (for example, starting to use cookies for analytics or advertising), we will provide a prominent notice or prompt when you visit the site.
