What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites work properly, remember basic preferences, and give owners aggregate information about how a site is used. This policy explains how they are used on PhDGrind.

How We Use Cookies

PhDGrind (“https://www.phdgrind.com”) keeps its own cookie use to a minimum. Our calculators run in your browser and do not need cookies to work — the values you enter are never stored. The cookies present on the site fall into the categories below.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to your actions, such as basic session handling and security. Without them, parts of the site may not work properly.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics to understand, in aggregate and anonymously, which tools and guides are used most and where visitors run into problems. This helps us improve the site and does not identify you individually.

Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements, which keeps the calculators free. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this and other websites. The main advertising cookies include:

Managing and Opting Out of Cookies

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you control cookies in their settings — you can refuse all cookies, accept only some, or be notified when one is set. Disabling cookies may affect how some features of this and other websites behave.

Opt Out of Advertising Cookies

You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many third-party vendors at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. We respect it where technically feasible.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date above.
