1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. They can remember information, measure usage or show advertising. Similar technologies, such as device identifiers, work in a similar way.
2. First-party cookies
Smart Money Basics does not set its own cookies and does not use analytics tools. The calculators run in your browser and store nothing.
3. Third-party cookies: Google AdSense
This site may display ads from Google AdSense. When ads are shown, Google and its partners may use cookies or other identifiers to:

- Personalize ads to your interests, if you have given consent.
- Measure ad performance and prevent fraud.
4. Your consent
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will see a consent message, run with a consent management platform certified by Google, where you can accept, reject or customize the use of cookies and data for advertising. Personalized ads are not shown without your consent. Visitors from some US states may see privacy choices too.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, from that same message when it is available or by deleting cookies in your browser settings.
