8. Advertising and Cookies (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

We also use analytics cookies (if applicable) and functional cookies to remember your preferences. See our Cookie section above for full details.

9. Information We Collect

ExactTakeHome does not require an account, and we do not ask you to register before using the calculator. We do not collect salary, deduction, or paycheck inputs as customer account data. Calculator entries are processed in the browser. We do use site analytics tools, including Plausible and Microsoft Clarity, to understand page performance, navigation paths, and aggregate usage patterns. Those tools help us improve the site, but they are not used to build individual financial profiles.

10. How We Use Information

We use analytics and operational information to improve calculator accuracy, monitor site reliability, understand which pages are most useful, and troubleshoot layout or performance issues. We do not sell personal financial data. We do not create remarketing lists from calculator inputs, and we do not run custom advertising pixels beyond the standard tools needed for analytics and Google AdSense delivery.

11. Your Rights and Choices

You can opt out of Google personalised advertising through g.co/adsettings. Depending on where you live, you may also have privacy rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR, including rights to request access to personal data, request deletion where applicable, or ask how data is used. If you have a privacy question or request, contact us at privacy@exacttakehome.com.

12. Cookies

We use a limited cookie set for site functionality and consent preferences, along with third-party cookies that may be set by analytics providers or Google AdSense. Functional cookies help remember your consent choice. Analytics cookies help us understand how the site performs. Advertising cookies may be used by AdSense to serve ads and measure delivery. Where our cookie banner offers a choice, you can decline non-essential cookies. Essential functionality cookies cannot be disabled if they are required for the site to work.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time as our tools, analytics, or advertising setup changes. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
