Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

This policy explains what information CY Calculator (“we”, “us”) collects when you use this website, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Calculator inputs

The numbers you enter into our calculators, including the cubic yard calculator, are processed only in your browser. They are not sent to our servers, saved, or linked to you. We do not offer accounts or collect names, emails or other personal details through the calculators. If you use Share, your measurements are written into the link after the # sign; browsers do not send that part of a link to any server, but anyone you send the link to can see the numbers.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Google Firebase Hosting) and content delivery network (Cloudflare) may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested and the date and time of the request. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and diagnose problems.

Cookies and advertising

At the moment this site shows no ads, and the only cookies it sets are the Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity cookies described under Analytics below. We may use Google AdSense to show ads; if we do, third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and similar technologies to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud and abuse.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
• To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google’s advertising policies.

Ads that are not personalized may still be shown if you opt out of personalized advertising. You can also control or delete cookies in your browser settings; blocking all cookies may affect how some websites work.

Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, ads and related cookies will be shown only in line with your consent choices. Before any advertising cookies are set, a consent management platform certified by Google will ask for your consent, and you will be able to change your choice at any time. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity run in these regions without analytics cookies unless you give consent.

Feedback form

When you use our feedback form, your message, the topic you chose and any name or email address you give are delivered to our support inbox through Web3Forms, an email delivery service. We use what you send only to read and answer your feedback, and an email address is needed only if you want a reply.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure how quickly pages load. It does not use cookies or local storage and does not track you across websites; it records details such as the page visited, the referring site, your browser type and your country.

We also use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used: which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive, the type of device and browser, and an approximate location based on IP address. It sets first party cookies (named _ga) so that repeat visits can be told apart. Google Analytics does not receive the numbers you type into the calculators or the measurements stored in a shared link, and its advertising features are turned off. You can block it with Google’s opt out browser add on or by blocking cookies in your browser. Google’s own use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

We also use Microsoft Clarity to see how people use our pages, through heatmaps and recordings of clicks, scrolling and mouse movement. Clarity sets cookies (such as _clck and _clsk) to connect page views from the same visit, and Microsoft may also set its own cookie on the bing.com domain (MUID). The calculators and converters are masked, so Clarity does not record the numbers you type or the results you get. If you open a shared result link, its address, which includes the measurements, may be recorded with the visit. Microsoft explains how it uses this data in the Microsoft Privacy Statement, and you can block Clarity by blocking cookies in your browser. If we add any other analytics tool, we will describe it here and, where required, ask for your consent first.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not knowingly keep personal information about calculator users. To make a request, contact us.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third party links

Our pages may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices; please read their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
