Privacy policy
The site runs its own analytics, uses Google Analytics and shows ads served by Google. This page sets out what each records, what they store on your device and what they never touch.

Site
In brief
- There are no accounts and no sign-ups. The site shows ads served by Google AdSense.
- The calculators run in your browser. What you type into them is never sent or stored.
- Three analytics scripts record how pages are used: one on this site's own server, one for the publisher's own traffic dashboard, and Google Analytics.
- Google uses cookies to serve ads, as described under Advertising below. Nothing is sold to data brokers.
What the analytics records
A small script served from this domain, /t.js, sends usage events to this
site's own server. For each visit it can record the page address and title, the referring
page and any campaign tags in the link you arrived by, your device type, screen and window
width, browser language and user agent, and an approximate country supplied by the network
in front of the server. It also records which links and buttons are clicked, how far down a
page you scroll, and roughly how long the page is actively in view.
Your IP address is not stored as such. The server keeps a one-way hash of it, combined with a private value, so repeat visits can be told apart from new ones without the address itself being kept. The data is used to see which pages are read and which are not, and it is kept for a little over a year and then deleted.
The publisher's traffic dashboard
A second script, loaded from maxboard.finx.live, sends a similar set of usage
events to the dashboard the publisher uses to follow traffic across its own sites. It records
the page address and title, the referring page, campaign tags in the link you arrived by, your
window width and device type, the text and address of links and buttons you click, how far you
scroll, how long the page is actively in view, and when a form on the page is shown or started.
It records that a form was used, never what was typed into it. The dashboard is run by the
publisher and is not an advertising network.
Google Analytics
The third script is Google Analytics. Unlike the other two it is not the publisher's: the
data goes to Google, and Google processes it under
its own privacy policy. It
records the pages you view, roughly where in the world you are, your device and browser, and
how you arrived. It sets two cookies on this domain, _ga and
_ga_G6J3K5NWRJ, each lasting two years and holding a random id that tells a
returning visitor from a new one. Through the feature Google calls enhanced measurement it
also records scrolls, clicks on links that lead off the site, file downloads and site searches.
Advertising
Ads on the site are served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings, and you can opt out of some other vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. How Google uses information from sites that use its services is explained on Google's own page. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, ad and analytics storage is off by default.
The price strip
The strip of stock prices under the header is loaded from finpubmax.com, the
publisher's quote service, which your browser asks for fresh prices about once a minute
while a page is open. Those requests carry the page's address and your IP address, as any web
request does. The strip sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. Prices shown there
are for information only and are not a recommendation, as the risk
disclaimer explains.
What is stored on your device
To count returning visitors and sessions, the script stores a random visitor identifier and
a session identifier in your browser, in local storage and in a first-party cookie, all named
with the prefix tfst_. The visitor identifier lasts up to two years unless you
clear it. It is a random string: it contains nothing about you and it is not shared with any
other site. The dashboard script keeps its own random visitor identifier, named
mb_v, in local storage and a cookie for up to about thirteen months, plus a
session identifier and your arrival campaign tags in session storage, which clears when you
close the tab. Google Analytics sets the two cookies named above, and Google's ad services can
set advertising cookies of their own. The theme switch in the
header stores your light or dark choice in local storage.
None of the scripts run in automated browsers. To opt out, clear this site's storage and
block /t.js, maxboard.finx.live and
googletagmanager.com in your browser or with a content
blocker; the site works fully without them. Blocking googlesyndication.com stops the
ads.
Server logs and delivery
The hosting server keeps standard access logs, which include IP addresses, for security and fault finding. Pages are delivered through a content delivery network that processes requests to serve the site and protect it from attacks.
If you contact us
Writing to [email protected] means we receive your address and whatever you send. It is used to reply to you. It is not added to any list.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what data is held about you, to have
it corrected or deleted, or to object to its use. Because the analytics holds a random
identifier and a hashed address, a request is easiest to act on if you include the
tfst_vid value from your browser storage. Send requests through the
contact page.
