Privacy Policy

1. Basic principles

XmasLightCost.online is designed to be a simple, seasonal toolset. We aim to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible.

• No account or login is required to use the calculators.
• Any values you enter into the calculators are processed in your browser and/or on our servers only to provide the calculation.
• We may use basic analytics or affiliate links to help maintain and improve the site.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect the following types of information:

2.1 Calculator inputs

The values you enter into the calculators (such as wattage, hours per day, turkey weight, or target serving time) are used solely to perform the requested calculations.

Some values may be temporarily stored in your browser's local storage so they can be pre-filled the next time you visit. This data is stored on your device only and can be cleared by your browser.

2.2 Usage data & analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools (for example, Cloudflare Web Analytics or similar services) to understand basic usage patterns such as:

• Which pages are visited and how often.
• Approximate region or device type (where made available).
• Referring websites (if any).

These analytics are used in aggregate form to improve the site and do not attempt to personally identify individual visitors.

3. Cookies & local storage

XmasLightCost.online may use small pieces of data stored in your browser, including:

• Local storage: to remember your last calculator inputs (e.g., wattage, hours per day, turkey weight) so you don't have to re-enter them.
• Cookies: if third-party services such as analytics or ad networks are used, they may set their own cookies according to their privacy policies.

You can clear or block cookies and local storage data using your browser settings.

5. Third-party links & affiliate programs

This site may include links to third-party websites, including online retailers such as Amazon, or other affiliate partners.

These third-party sites have their own privacy policies and may collect data about you when you visit them or make purchases. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may use cookies or other tracking technologies to attribute any resulting purchase to this website.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared only in limited circumstances, for example:

• With service providers who help operate the site (such as hosting providers or analytics services).
• If required by law, to comply with a legal obligation or protect the rights and safety of others.

7. Data retention

Calculator inputs stored in your browser's local storage remain on your device until you clear them. Aggregated analytics data may be retained for a limited period to help us understand site usage and improve performance.

8. Children's privacy

XmasLightCost.online is intended for general audiences and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to this site, please contact us so we can address the issue.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
