Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 May 2026
This policy explains how devcalcs.com uses cookies and similar technologies.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be set by the site you’re visiting (first-party) or by other services embedded in it (third-party).
What we use
devcalcs.com uses as few cookies as possible. The site is designed to work without tracking you.
Strictly necessary
The site may set a small number of cookies needed for core functionality — for example, remembering your cookie consent choice so we don’t ask you again on every page. These don’t track you and don’t require consent under UK law.
Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics, which is a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. We use it to understand which tools are useful, in aggregate.
Advertising (when applicable)
If we display ads on the site, the advertising provider (such as Google AdSense) may set cookies to:
- Show ads relevant to your interests
- Measure ad effectiveness
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad
- Detect fraudulent activity
These cookies are only set with your consent. When you first visit the site, you’ll see a consent banner asking whether you want to allow advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the site footer.
If you accept advertising cookies, the data collected may be shared with our advertising partners. Read Google’s policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Third-party services
The site relies on the following third-party services. Each may set their own cookies according to their own policies:
| Service | Purpose | Cookies | More info |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting / CDN | Minimal, technical only | cloudflare.com |
| Plausible | Anonymous analytics | None | plausible.io |
| Google AdSense (when applicable) | Advertising | Yes, with consent | policies.google.com |
How to control cookies
You have several options:
- Use the consent banner — choose your preferences when you first visit, or update them via the cookie settings link in the footer.
- Use your browser — every modern browser lets you block, delete, or restrict cookies. Search “[your browser] cookie settings” for instructions.
- Use opt-out tools — for advertising specifically, you can opt out of personalised ads at aboutads.info/choices (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).
Blocking all cookies won’t break the site — devcalcs.com is designed to work without them.
Changes
If we add or remove services that use cookies, we’ll update this policy. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage.
