Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 21, 2026. This policy explains what cookies are and how we use them on our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to site owners.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device after you close your browser, used to remember settings when you return) or "session" cookies (deleted automatically when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate. Others enable us to track analytics and improve our tax calculator tools. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of our site. For example, if you input values or select your state, necessary cookies can temporarily remember your state selection so you don't have to re-select it when navigating between pages.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with PayCheckup. This helps us understand which calculators are used most frequently, identify load errors, and evaluate our traffic sources. All analytical data is aggregated and anonymized.
Advertising & Marketing Cookies (Google AdSense)
These cookies are used by third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense, to serve ads that are relevant to your interests and browsing behavior. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These cookies also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and prevent the same advertisement from continuously reappearing.
3. Third-Party Cookies and Google AdSense
In addition to our first-party cookies, third-party partners (such as Google AdSense, Google Analytics, and hosting infrastructure providers) may place cookies on your device when you interact with PayCheckup.
Specifically, Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve advertisements based on your visit to this website and other websites across the web. You can review how Google manages data in advertising products by visiting Google Advertising Policies.
