Privacy Policy
WattCostGuide is designed to provide appliance electricity cost estimates with minimal personal data collection. This page explains analytics, cookies, and advertising disclosures.
Information we collect
WattCostGuide does not require an account to use the calculators. Calculator values such as watts, hours, and electricity rate are processed in your browser and are not submitted through a form.
Like most websites, hosting and analytics services may collect basic technical information such as browser type, pages visited, approximate location, referring pages, and device information.
Cookies and advertising
WattCostGuide may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, site performance, and advertising. Cookies can help remember preferences, measure page performance, prevent abuse, and understand which pages are useful to readers.
If advertising is displayed, third-party advertising partners, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repeated ads, measure ad performance, and personalize ads based on visits to this and other websites.
Google AdSense and third-party vendors
WattCostGuide may participate in Google AdSense or other advertising programs. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to show ads based on a user's prior visits to this site or other sites.
Users can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services by visiting Google's published advertising and privacy resources. Users may also manage personalized ad settings through their Google account or browser settings.
Analytics
WattCostGuide may use privacy-conscious analytics or hosting analytics to understand traffic patterns, device types, popular pages, and technical issues. Analytics data is used to improve the site and is not used to identify individual readers directly.
Your choices
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, use private browsing mode, or use available ad settings tools from advertising providers. Disabling cookies may affect some website preferences, but the core electricity cost calculators should remain usable.
External links
WattCostGuide may link to external websites, including utility resources, manufacturer information, or privacy resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.
