Use The Site's Consent Tool
Where available, open cookie settings and choose which non-essential categories you allow.
This Cookie Policy explains how ToothCalculator.com may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage and, where enabled, support advertising or other third-party services. It also explains the choices available to you.
Some technologies are needed to keep a site secure or remember a privacy choice. Others may be used only after permission or where applicable law otherwise allows them.
Important: the exact cookie names and retention periods depend on the technologies actually enabled on ToothCalculator.com. This policy describes categories and principles; the site's consent tool or live cookie inventory should be kept synchronized with active scripts and vendors.
Cookies and similar technologies allow a website or service provider to remember information about a browser or device. Depending on the technology and purpose, that information can include a random identifier, privacy preference, session status, page interaction, referral information, advertising measurement data or other technical information.
Set by the domain you are visiting. They may support website operation, security, preferences or first-party analytics.
Set or read by an external provider when that provider's services, advertising, analytics or embedded content are present.
Designed to last for a browser session and typically disappear after the browser is closed.
Remain for a defined time unless deleted earlier through browser or device controls.
Browser storage may remember preferences or technical information without using a traditional cookie file.
Small technologies may measure whether content loaded, an event occurred or a page interaction should be recorded.
ToothCalculator.com may use one or more of the categories below depending on the functionality, analytics, advertising and third-party services active on the website at a given time.
| Category | Purpose | Typical Legal / Consent Treatment | Examples Of Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable essential technical operation, security or storage of privacy choices. | May be exempt from consent requirements where law recognizes a strictly necessary exception. | Security, load balancing, session integrity, remembering whether a cookie choice was made. |
| Preference / Functional | Remember optional settings selected by a visitor. | Consent may be required depending on jurisdiction and whether the technology is strictly necessary for a requested feature. | Language, display preferences, optional feature settings. |
| Analytics / Performance | Measure visits, page usage, referral sources, performance and aggregated engagement. | Often requires consent in UK/EU contexts unless a specific legal exemption applies. | Traffic measurement, page popularity, error/performance analysis. |
| Advertising / Targeting | Measure advertising, limit repeated ads or support interest-based advertising where enabled. | May require prior consent and/or opt-out rights depending on jurisdiction and processing. | Ad measurement, conversion tracking, audience or interest signals. |
Vendor-neutral disclosure: this policy does not claim that every category is active at all times. If ToothCalculator.com enables or removes an analytics, advertising, embedded-content or other third-party service, the site's consent interface and cookie inventory should be updated accordingly.
Strictly necessary cookies or similar storage technologies may be used when needed to provide a feature you requested, protect the site, prevent abuse, maintain technical sessions or remember your privacy choices. Blocking these technologies at the browser level can interfere with some requested functionality.
The UK Information Commissioner's Office explains that cookie rules include exceptions for technologies essential to provide an online service requested by the user. Even where consent is not required for a strictly necessary technology, transparent information about its purpose remains important.
Where analytics services are enabled, they may help us understand how visitors use ToothCalculator.com—for example, which pages are viewed, approximate traffic patterns, device/browser categories, site errors or performance trends. Analytics information can help us improve navigation, page quality and technical reliability.
In jurisdictions where consent is required for non-essential analytics technologies, those technologies should remain inactive until the visitor makes a valid choice through the site's consent mechanism. The UK ICO states that valid cookie consent must involve a clear positive action and that non-essential cookies should not be set before consent where consent is required.
Consent should be a real choice. Continuing to browse without taking a clear action should not automatically be treated as consent where applicable law requires active consent. Visitors should be able to reject non-essential technologies as well as accept them.
If advertising services are enabled on ToothCalculator.com, cookies, pixels or similar technologies may be used to deliver or measure advertising, prevent excessive repetition, detect invalid traffic, understand conversions or support interest-based advertising. The precise processing depends on the active advertising provider and visitor choices.
Where required by applicable law, advertising or targeting technologies should not be activated until valid consent has been obtained. In jurisdictions that provide opt-out rights for sale, sharing or targeted advertising, applicable signals and user requests should be respected as required.
Some website features may be provided by third parties. These may include analytics services, advertising networks, embedded media, fonts, security services, content delivery networks or other technical providers. A third party may set or read cookies or similar technologies according to its own privacy practices when its service is active.
Third-party providers can change their services, cookie names, purposes and retention periods. For that reason, a live cookie inventory or consent-management interface should be treated as the most specific description of active third-party technologies at the time of your visit.
An embedded video, map, social widget or other external feature may contact the provider's servers and may use storage technologies subject to applicable consent requirements.
Third-party privacy and cookie practices are controlled by those providers. Review their notices when interacting with their services.
Retention depends on the cookie or technology. A session cookie may expire when the browser closes. A persistent cookie may remain for days, months or another defined period. A consent-preference cookie may remain long enough to remember that a visitor accepted or rejected categories so the site does not repeatedly ask during every page view.
Third-party services determine their own retention periods. When ToothCalculator.com has control over retention, we aim to use periods reasonably connected to the stated purpose and to review settings when technologies change.
Cookie and tracking rules vary by jurisdiction. This section provides a general transparency overview and is not legal advice.
The UK ICO states that organizations generally must tell users that cookies are present, explain what they do and why, and obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and based on a clear positive action. Strictly necessary technologies can fall within recognized exemptions.
European cookie requirements can involve both privacy/data-protection rules and national laws implementing electronic communications requirements. In practice, non-essential analytics or advertising technologies commonly require a consent mechanism before activation, while necessary technologies may be treated differently.
If ToothCalculator.com is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act for a particular processing activity, California residents may have rights that include knowing, deleting, correcting, limiting certain sensitive-data uses, and opting out of sale or sharing of personal information. The California Attorney General explains that covered businesses must honor qualifying Global Privacy Control signals as valid opt-out requests for sale or sharing.
GPC is a browser or device-level privacy preference signal. Where ToothCalculator.com is legally required to recognize a valid GPC signal for covered sale or sharing activity, the signal should be treated as the user's applicable opt-out preference. GPC does not necessarily disable strictly necessary cookies or every form of data processing.
ToothCalculator.com should provide any legally required opt-out mechanism if its activities meet applicable thresholds or definitions for sale, sharing or targeted advertising. The availability and wording of these controls may depend on the visitor's jurisdiction and the technologies actually enabled.
Submitting an opt-out should not disable strictly necessary functionality. It may, however, affect the use of advertising, measurement or personalization technologies that rely on the categories covered by the request.
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not one universally implemented legal or technical standard governing all uses of traditional Do Not Track signals, websites and providers may respond differently. This is separate from Global Privacy Control, which is recognized under certain U.S. state privacy laws for specific opt-out purposes.
ToothCalculator.com is designed as an informational dental website rather than a service intended to collect personal information from children through accounts or profiling. If advertising, analytics or other technologies are used, they should be configured and governed in accordance with applicable age-related privacy rules and the actual audience of the site.
Parents and guardians can use browser and device controls to manage cookies and tracking technologies on devices used by children.
Cookies may support security, but a cookie is not itself a guarantee of security. We may use technical measures intended to protect site sessions, reduce abuse or remember privacy preferences. Visitors should also keep browsers and devices updated and avoid sharing sensitive information through untrusted devices or networks.
We may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, cookie practices, third-party services or applicable requirements change. When we make a material update, the “Effective” or “Last Updated” date on this page should be revised. Where required, a new consent request may be presented when cookie purposes or vendors materially change.

Common questions about cookies, consent, browser controls, analytics, advertising and privacy preferences.
A cookie is a small text file or similar piece of information a website or service can store on a browser or device to remember information about a visit or support website functionality.
ToothCalculator.com may use strictly necessary technologies and, where enabled and legally permitted, preference, analytics, advertising or similar technologies.
Where a consent interface is available, you can reject or adjust non-essential categories. Necessary technologies may remain active when they are required for core operation, security or a feature you requested.
Yes, where a preference control is available. Browser settings can also delete stored cookies or prevent new cookies from being placed.
Core content may still be available, but some preference, security or interactive features may not function as intended if strictly necessary browser storage is blocked.
Analytics technologies help website operators understand traffic, page usage and performance. Where applicable law requires prior consent, they should not activate until permission is given.
Advertising technologies may measure ad delivery, limit repetition, track conversions or support interest-based advertising where advertising services are enabled.
A third-party cookie is set or accessed by an external provider rather than only by the website domain you are directly visiting.
Some last only for the browser session, while persistent cookies remain for a configured time or until you delete them. Third-party providers set their own retention periods.
GPC is a browser or device preference signal designed to communicate certain privacy opt-out choices. Covered businesses must honor qualifying GPC signals where applicable law requires them to do so.
No. GPC is a specific opt-out preference signal recognized in some privacy-law contexts, while traditional Do Not Track has not been implemented as one universal standard across websites and providers.
They may not be optional when they are genuinely required to provide a service, protect the site or remember a privacy choice. Applicable law may exempt such technologies from prior-consent requirements.
Where non-essential cookies are used and consent or opt-out rights apply, ToothCalculator.com should provide clear controls that let visitors make and update meaningful privacy choices.
