Cookies Policy
Information about how we use cookies, local storage, and client-side settings on Hectare to Acre. Last updated: March 2026.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies and local storage technologies are small files or data entries placed on your device to ensure web applications function smoothly, store your selected preferences, and maintain session state.
Unlike platforms that track user behavior across the web, Hectare to Acre (https://hectaretoacre.com) uses a minimal and transparent approach to client-side storage. We prioritize user privacy and perform land area conversions entirely in your browser without transmitting your calculations to remote servers.
2. How We Use Browser Storage
Hectare to Acre uses client-side localStorage solely for essential preferences, such as your chosen decimal precision (e.g. 2, 5, or 8 digits), light/dark mode preference, and your cookie consent response. No calculation inputs or personal details are stored.
| Storage Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent_accepted | Remembers your cookie banner consent response so the popup is not shown again | Persistent (until cleared) |
| theme_mode | Saves your preferred display theme (light or dark mode) | Persistent (until cleared) |
| calc_precision | Remembers your preferred decimal precision setting (e.g., 2, 5, or 8 digits) | Persistent (until cleared) |
3. Third-Party & Analytics Cookies
We do not sell personal information or deploy intrusive tracking cookies. Any analytical telemetry is privacy-conscious and used exclusively to monitor aggregate platform reliability.
We do not allow external advertising networks or data brokers to set tracking cookies on our site. Any performance monitoring is anonymized to ensure that your identity and parcel dimensions remain completely confidential.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can modify, block, or delete cookies and localStorage entries at any time through your browser settings. The core area conversion tool will continue to function entirely within your browser.
Most modern web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
