This Cookie Policy explains how DIP Switch Calculator (“DIP Switch Calculator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use https://dipswitchcalculator.com/ (the “Website”).
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and Disclaimer.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform different functions. Some are necessary for a website to operate, while others help website owners understand visitor behavior, remember preferences, improve performance, or display and measure advertisements.
We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including pixels, web beacons, tags, scripts, local storage, and other online identifiers. For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless otherwise specified.
Why We Use Cookies
DIP Switch Calculator may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:
- Operating and securing the Website;
- Providing requested functionality;
- Remembering cookie and privacy preferences;
- Understanding how visitors use the Website;
- Measuring website traffic and performance;
- Identifying technical problems;
- Improving our calculators, guides, and other content;
- Supporting advertising;
- Measuring advertising performance;
- Preventing advertising fraud and abuse;
- Providing personalized or interest-based advertising where permitted; and
- Complying with applicable legal requirements.
Not every cookie described in this policy will necessarily be active on every visit. The cookies and technologies used may change as we add, remove, or modify Website services.
Types of Cookies We May Use
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for certain Website functions or security features.
These cookies may be used to:
- Maintain basic Website functionality;
- Protect the Website against abuse;
- Remember technical settings;
- Maintain security;
- Support cookie-consent functionality; and
- Provide services specifically requested by a visitor.
Because these cookies may be necessary for the Website to function, they may not always be disabled through the cookie-consent interface.
B. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember certain choices or settings and can improve your experience.
For example, they may be used to remember preferences associated with Website functionality or previously selected settings.
Disabling functional cookies may cause certain features to operate differently.
C. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies may remember choices made by visitors, such as language, display, or other Website preferences where applicable.
These cookies are intended to make subsequent visits more convenient.
D. Analytics or Statistics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with the Website.
Analytics information may include:
- Pages viewed;
- Approximate time spent on pages;
- Browser and device information;
- Approximate geographic information;
- Referring websites;
- General navigation patterns;
- Interactions with Website features; and
- Technical or performance information.
Analytics information helps us understand which content is useful, identify problems, and improve the Website.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics cookies will be used only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
E. Advertising and Marketing Cookies
The Website may display advertisements through third-party advertising providers, including Google AdSense.
Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- Deliver advertisements;
- Measure advertising performance;
- Determine whether an advertisement has been displayed or interacted with;
- Limit repeated advertisements;
- Detect and prevent advertising fraud;
- Provide more relevant advertisements; and
- Support personalized advertising where permitted.
Advertising providers may combine information collected through cookies with information obtained from other sources, subject to their own privacy policies and applicable law.
Google AdSense
DIP Switch Calculator may use Google AdSense to display advertisements.
Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to recognize a user’s browser or device and provide, measure, and improve advertising services.
Depending on your location, consent choices, and available advertising settings, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
Google’s use of information is governed by Google’s own policies and terms. We do not control Google’s independent data-processing practices.
You can manage certain advertising preferences through Google’s available advertising controls and through the cookie or privacy controls available on your device and browser.
Analytics Services
We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics or similar services, to measure Website traffic and usage.
These services may place cookies or use similar technologies to collect information about your interaction with the Website.
Analytics providers may process information such as:
- IP address or an IP-derived identifier;
- Browser information;
- Device information;
- Pages visited;
- Referral information;
- Approximate location;
- Date and time of visits; and
- Interactions with Website content.
The specific analytics services and technologies used on the Website may change over time.
Cookie Consent
Where required by applicable law, we use a cookie-consent mechanism to allow visitors to make choices concerning certain categories of cookies.
Depending on your location and the technologies available on the Website, you may be able to:
- Accept all applicable cookies;
- Reject non-essential cookies;
- Allow functional or preference cookies;
- Allow statistics or analytics cookies;
- Allow marketing or advertising cookies; or
- Change your preferences later.
Your consent preferences may themselves be stored using a cookie or similar technology so that the Website can remember your selection.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
You may be able to:
- View stored cookies;
- Delete cookies;
- Block cookies;
- Block third-party cookies;
- Allow cookies only from selected websites; or
- Receive a notification before cookies are stored.
The exact controls differ between browsers.
If you disable or delete cookies, some Website functionality may not work correctly.
Blocking all cookies may also prevent the Website from remembering your privacy or cookie preferences.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third parties rather than directly by DIP Switch Calculator.
Third parties may include providers of:
- Advertising services;
- Analytics;
- Website security;
- Hosting or technical infrastructure;
- Cookie-consent technology; and
- Other Website services.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the respective third-party provider and may be subject to that provider’s privacy policy and terms.
We do not control the operation of cookies placed directly by independent third parties.
Cookies and Personal Information
A cookie does not necessarily identify you by name.
However, information associated with cookies, device identifiers, IP addresses, or similar technologies may constitute personal information or personal data under certain privacy laws.
Where required by applicable law, we treat information collected through cookies according to our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.
For more information about how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session Cookies
Session cookies generally remain on your device only while your browser session is active and are deleted when you close your browser, depending on the particular technology.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.
The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that sets it.
Because third-party services may change their cookie configurations, the expiration period for individual third-party cookies may change over time.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, the Website or third-party services may use browser technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, or similar technologies.
These technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, including remembering preferences, providing Website functionality, measuring usage, or supporting advertising.
Your browser may provide controls for some of these technologies.
Do Not Track
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or similar setting.
There is no universally consistent technical standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals.
Accordingly, the Website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track setting.
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular privacy preference signal or opt-out mechanism, we will handle it as required by that law.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location, you may have choices regarding cookies and similar technologies.
These may include:
- Rejecting non-essential cookies;
- Withdrawing previously provided consent;
- Managing cookie categories through our consent controls;
- Blocking cookies through your browser;
- Deleting cookies already stored on your device;
- Opting out of certain personalized advertising; and
- Using legally recognized privacy preference signals where supported.
Please understand that rejecting certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of parts of the Website.
Advertising Choices
If you receive advertising through the Website, advertising providers may offer their own tools for managing personalized advertising.
You may also have advertising controls available through your browser, operating system, device, or applicable privacy settings.
Your ability to control advertising cookies does not necessarily prevent all advertisements from appearing. It may instead result in advertisements being less personalized.
Cookies Used by Third-Party Services
The exact names, providers, purposes, and expiration periods of cookies may change as Website services are updated.
For this reason, this policy describes categories and purposes rather than providing an exhaustive list of every individual cookie that may appear on your device.
Third-party providers may independently introduce, remove, or modify cookies and similar technologies.
We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie documentation of relevant third-party providers for additional information about their technologies.
International Visitors
DIP Switch Calculator is accessible internationally.
Depending on where you access the Website, different privacy and cookie requirements may apply.
Where legally required, we will provide appropriate consent mechanisms or other controls for non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
Your available choices may therefore differ based on your location.
Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.
We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children in circumstances where doing so would violate applicable law.
If you believe that information relating to a child has been collected through the Website inappropriately, please contact us.
