Calculator entries

Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. The vehicle details, dollar figures, comparable listings, and letter text you type into a calculator are processed on your device only. They are not transmitted to, or stored on, any server operated by this site. Reloading or closing the page clears them.

What this site currently collects

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic — which pages get visited, roughly how many people visit, and general device/location information (city-level, derived from IP address; Google does not receive your calculator inputs). It runs only if you accept it in the cookie banner or below — see "Your privacy choices." It never runs on what you type into a calculator: that data is never sent to Google or to any server, by us or by the analytics script, in any circumstance.

Your web browser and any network in between (such as your ISP) may still see standard technical information — like your IP address and browser type — simply because that is how the web works. Our hosting provider may keep its own standard server logs; see GitHub's own privacy documentation for how GitHub Pages hosting works. Google's use of Analytics data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This free site is supported by advertising served by Google AdSense. Ads never receive anything you type into a calculator.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
  • Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown Google's certified consent message before any advertising cookies are used. Visitors in U.S. states with consumer-privacy laws (such as California) are shown Google's opt-out message and can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising at any time using the link that message provides.

Cookies

This site sets a cookie of its own only to remember your Accept/Reject choice below (stored in your browser's local storage, not a tracking cookie). If you accept analytics, Google Analytics sets its own cookies to distinguish repeat visits — those are not set until you accept. Google AdSense sets advertising cookies as described in the advertising section. Anything else your browser stores locally (such as evidence-checklist checkbox states while a page is open) stays in your browser and is not read by this site's server.

Your privacy choices

Use the button below to open the cookie preference banner at any time and accept or reject analytics. Your choice is remembered in your browser; nothing is sent to Google Analytics until you accept, and you can withdraw acceptance the same way at any time.

Advertising choices are managed separately, through Google's consent and opt-out messages and the links in the advertising section above. See also the advertising disclosure.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
