Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function. They do not require your consent and cannot be disabled. Our only strictly necessary cookie is the one that stores your cookie consent preference.

When you first visit CalculatorDashboard.com, you will be shown a cookie banner asking for your consent to place analytics cookies. You can:
- Accept all cookies — analytics cookies will be placed and we can improve the site based on usage data
- Reject non-essential cookies — only the strictly necessary cookie consent cookie will be placed. Analytics will not run.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will re-trigger the consent banner.
