Privacy policy
Pawdget is a static website. There are no accounts, and the calculator runs entirely in your browser — your inputs are never transmitted. The one thing you can send us is a feedback message, and only if you choose to.
The feedback form
The "Feedback" button at the bottom of the page stores what you write, the page you were on, the site language and the country your request came from. If you fill in the email field — it is optional — we keep it to reply to you, and for nothing else. Your IP address is not stored: it is hashed together with the date, and that hash exists only to stop one person flooding the form. Messages live in a Cloudflare D1 database in the EU and are read by hand; they are never sold, published or sent to a third party.
Stored in your browser
Two preferences are kept in localStorage on your device only: your chosen theme (light/dark) and the last state you selected, so the numbers you see next time are for your state. Clearing site data removes both.
Analytics
We name what we run rather than calling it "privacy-friendly analytics", because the name is the part you can check.
Google Analytics 4 (property G-KBY5MGKJ69) tells us which pages get read and which tools get used. Outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it sets a cookie named _ga in your browser, which holds a random id and distinguishes one visitor from another. It expires after two years, and clearing site data removes it.
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it sets no cookie at all. We run Google Consent Mode with analytics storage denied for those regions, so GA receives only an anonymous signal that a page was viewed, with nothing stored on your device and nothing that follows you between visits. That is why there is no cookie banner here: a banner exists to ask permission to store something, and in those regions we store nothing to ask about.
Advertising storage, ad personalisation and ad user data are denied everywhere, for every visitor. Your analytics data is not used to build an advertising profile and is not passed to advertisers.
The script itself loads after your first interaction, or three seconds in, whichever comes first — it is heavy and the page should not wait for it.
Our host, Cloudflare, processes request logs to serve and protect the site. Analytics run on pawdget.com only — the preview copy of this site at pages.dev redirects here and reports nothing.
Advertising
Pawdget does not show advertising yet — no ad script is loaded on any page. We have applied to Google AdSense, and this section describes what will apply from the day the first ad appears, so you can read it before rather than after.
Google and its partner networks use cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads, and in some cases to personalise them from your earlier visits to this and other sites. Third-party vendors, Google among them, may serve ads based on those visits. Google's own account of what it collects and why is on its partner sites page.
You can turn personalised advertising off. Google's switch is at adssettings.google.com; it applies to Google ads wherever you see them, not only here. For other networks at once, use optout.aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU). Turning personalisation off does not remove the ads; it makes them generic.
Two places stay free of advertising whatever happens elsewhere: the embeddable calculator, because putting our ads on someone else's page would be taking their readers' attention without asking, and the methodology and source tables, because an ad has no business sitting inside a figure you came to check.
Partner links
Links marked "partner link" lead to third-party sites (see how we make money). Those sites have their own privacy policies and may set cookies to attribute a purchase to us. This includes the Amazon Associates programme: following an Amazon link lets Amazon associate a later purchase with this site, under Amazon's own privacy notice. Our redirects pass the page you came from and nothing about you.
