Cookie Policy for Loan Calculator Today
Last updated: November 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how LoanCalculatorToday.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, use the Loan Calculator, read articles in our Calculator Insights blog, or access other pages that are part of the Calculators Today Network. This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and what choices you have.
You should read this Cookie Policy together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. Those pages provide more detail on how we handle personal data, how the site is operated, and what it means to use our tools and content. If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, you can reach us through our Contact page.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They are widely used to remember user preferences, keep you logged in, understand how visitors use a site, and support features such as analytics and advertising. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties that provide services to that site, such as analytics or advertising networks (third-party cookies).
To learn more about cookies in general, you can review resources from organizations such as the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and European guidance on cookies under the EU data protection framework. These external sites are independent of Loan Calculator Today, but they offer helpful general explanations.
Why We Use Cookies
On LoanCalculatorToday.com, we use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:
- Essential functionality: To help the site function correctly, remember basic settings, and support secure browsing.
- Performance and analytics: To understand how visitors use the site, which pages are popular, and how our calculators are accessed.
- Preferences: To remember certain user choices, when applicable, such as previously accepted cookie banners.
- Advertising and monetization: To support display advertising or affiliate relationships that help keep our tools and educational content free for users.
We strive to use cookies in a way that respects your privacy while still allowing us to operate a useful, sustainable, and informative site. You can find additional information about how we fund the site and use affiliate relationships in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Types of Cookies We May Use
The specific cookies active on the site may change over time as we update our tools, analytics setup, or advertising partners. However, they typically fall into the following categories:
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function properly. They may help with basic security, load balancing, or core navigation. Without them, essential parts of the website may not work as expected. For example, certain WordPress-related cookies may support the functioning of the content management system and help the site deliver pages reliably.
2. Performance and Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools to understand how users interact with Loan Calculator Today. For instance, cookies associated with web analytics platforms can help us see which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay, and how they navigate between sections. This information is typically aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. External educational resources such as Google’s Analytics help pages and analytics industry groups may offer more general information about how such tools work.
3. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you have made, such as whether you previously closed a cookie banner or selected certain display options. These cookies help provide a more convenient experience by reducing the need to repeat the same actions every time you visit.
4. Advertising and Affiliate Cookies
To keep the site free for users, we may show advertisements or participate in affiliate programs. In those cases, third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure the effectiveness of ads, understand which pages are viewed, or track when a visitor clicks through to an external offer. While we do not control the cookies set by third-party networks, we aim to work with reputable partners and follow widely recognized online advertising guidelines.
For general information about interest-based advertising and consumer choices, you can consult resources such as the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, and guidance from regulators like the FTC business guidance center. These external resources are provided for reference only.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Some cookies are “session cookies,” which are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others are “persistent cookies,” which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The specific duration depends on the cookie and the service that sets it.
You can manage, delete, or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all provide options for clearing cookies and controlling how they are used. For more information, you can consult your browser’s help pages or visit resources like AllAboutCookies.org, which offers general instructions on managing cookies across platforms.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies used on Loan Calculator Today:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. You can typically find these options under “Settings,” “Options,” or “Privacy and Security.”
- Cookie banners or tools: If we display a cookie notice or consent banner, it may provide options to accept, reject, or customize certain categories of cookies.
- Third-party opt-outs: Some advertising and analytics providers offer their own opt-out tools or settings.
Please keep in mind that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of certain features, including the way some calculators, forms, or content blocks operate. For example, if you block all cookies, your preferences might not be remembered between visits, and analytics may no longer reflect your use of the site.
Cookies and Your Privacy
Cookies are only one part of how information may be collected when you use online services. For a broader description of what data may be collected, how it is used, and what rights you may have, please review our Privacy Policy. That page covers topics such as log data, device information, and third-party services that may be involved in operating the site or measuring performance.
In general, we aim to follow widely recognized privacy principles and to use data in ways that support the user experience without collecting more information than is necessary. Guidance from regulators and privacy frameworks—such as the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), the ICO, and educational sites like Privacy Laws & Business—informs our understanding of how cookies fit within broader privacy expectations.
Third-Party Links and Services
Loan Calculator Today may include links to external websites, tools, or content that we believe are useful for borrowers, such as government resources, financial education sites, or lender explainers. If you click a link that takes you away from LoanCalculatorToday.com, please be aware that those external sites have their own cookie and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for how cookies are used on third-party websites.
When you use our site to learn about loan concepts and then navigate to external resources—for example, to government pages like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or financial publishers such as Investopedia—we encourage you to review their cookie and privacy notices as well.
