Essential Cookies

Essential cookies may be necessary for certain website features to operate correctly.

These cookies can support functions such as:

  • Security
  • Basic website functionality
  • Session management
  • User preferences required for website operation

Because these cookies may be necessary for the website to function, they may not always be optional.

  • Number of visitors
  • General traffic sources
  • Device types
  • Browser types
  • General interaction with pages
  • Website performance

This information can help us identify areas where the website can be improved.

Analytics information may be processed by third-party providers according to their own privacy policies.

The Desmos Calculator may display advertisements through third-party advertising services.

Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

  • Display advertisements
  • Measure advertisement performance
  • Limit repeated advertisements
  • Provide relevant advertising
  • Understand advertising interactions

The exact use of advertising technologies may depend on the advertising provider and your privacy choices.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may allow a website to remember certain settings or choices.

For example, a website may use them to remember a visitor’s selected preferences where such functionality is available.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising

If Google AdSense is used on The Desmos Calculator, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to provide and measure advertisements.

Depending on applicable settings, consent choices, and user location, advertising may be personalized or non-personalized.

Google’s advertising technologies and policies can change over time.

For the most current information about Google’s advertising cookies, personalization, and privacy controls, users should review Google’s official privacy and advertising information.

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services rather than directly by The Desmos Calculator.

Third-party services may include providers used for:

  • Advertising
  • Analytics
  • Security
  • Embedded content
  • Performance monitoring
  • Other website functions

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not control all cookies that may be placed by third-party services.

Analytics information is generally used to improve the website and its user experience.

7. Calculator Usage

Some calculators may operate primarily within your web browser.

A calculator may use browser-based technologies such as JavaScript to process information entered into its fields.

Depending on the specific calculator and website implementation, input values may be processed locally in your browser or may interact with website technology required to provide the tool.

Users should avoid entering sensitive personal information into calculator fields unless the relevant page specifically requires it.

8. How Long Cookies Remain

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on the type of cookie and the service that created it.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

Different third-party services may use different cookie retention periods.
