Cookie Policy
How we use cookies to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide a better user experience. Cookies contain small pieces of information like your preferences, device type, and browser settings.
Our Cookie Philosophy
We use minimal cookies for essential functionality only. At Dental Implants Cost Calculator, we prioritize your privacy. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party cookies that compromise your privacy. Our approach is "privacy by design" — we collect only what's necessary to provide our service.
How Our Calculator Handles Data
Our dental implant cost calculator runs entirely in your browser. None of the inputs you enter are sent to our servers, and we do not collect or store your calculator selections. Your privacy is built into the technology we use.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functionality like:
- Session management (keeping you logged in during your visit)
- Security features (preventing fraud and abuse)
- Remembering your cookie preferences
- Maintaining your calculator state during your session
These cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the website to function.
Preference Cookies (Optional)
These cookies remember your choices and preferences to enhance your experience:
- Calculator settings and inputs (if you choose to save them)
- Display preferences (font size, theme, etc.)
- Location preferences (if you provide them)
These cookies are only used if you explicitly choose to save your preferences.
