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.

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