Last Updated: May 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how DRI Calculator (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies involved, and how you can control them. We believe in being open and transparent about how our website works, so you can make informed choices about your privacy.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to improve performance, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain personally identifying information by themselves. They simply help a website remember things, such as your preferences or how you use the site, so your experience is smoother and more useful.

Besides cookies, websites may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. In this policy, the word “cookies” refers to cookies and similar technologies together.

2. Why We Use Cookies

DRI Calculator uses cookies to help our website function correctly and to improve your overall experience. Specifically, cookies help us to:

In short, cookies help us improve website functionality, analytics, and user experience, so our nutrition and health calculator remains fast, reliable, and helpful for everyone.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies for different purposes. Below is a clear explanation of each category.

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and access to the calculator. Without these cookies, the website would not work properly. They do not store any information that identifies you personally.

3.2 Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how the website is performing — for example, which pages load slowly or where errors occur. This information helps us maintain a fast and stable experience for all users. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with DRI Calculator, such as which pages are visited most and how users move through the site. This insight allows us to improve our content, layout, and the accuracy and usefulness of our calculator. We typically use tools like Google Analytics for this purpose, and the data is collected in an aggregated, non-identifying way.

3.4 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as display preferences or previously entered settings, to give you a more personalized and convenient experience. If you disable these cookies, some features may not work as smoothly.

3.5 Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that help support the free availability of our tool. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners such as Google AdSense. These cookies may be used to show ads that are more relevant to your interests and to limit how often you see a particular ad. They do not store directly identifying information, but are based on browsing behavior.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by trusted third-party services rather than by us directly. These third parties may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites, in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure and analyze website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics may set cookies to help us understand visitor behavior in an aggregated form. You can learn more by reviewing Google’s Privacy Policy, and you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.2 Google AdSense and Advertising Partners

To keep DRI Calculator free, we may display ads served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Please note:

We follow applicable Google Publisher Policies and Google AdSense requirements regarding the use of cookies and user consent.

5. Your Consent

When you first visit DRI Calculator, you may be shown a cookie notice or consent banner. By continuing to use the website, or by accepting cookies through that notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

Where required by law, such as under the GDPR for visitors in the European Economic Area and the UK, non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies) are only used after you give your consent. You are free to accept or decline these cookies, and you can change your preferences at any time. Essential cookies do not require consent because the website cannot function properly without them.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money. However, certain advertising-related cookie data sharing may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law, and you may opt out using the cookie controls and advertising opt-out links provided in this policy.

6. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have full control over cookies and can manage, block, or delete them at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the website functions and may reduce the quality of your experience.

6.1 Managing Cookies Through Our Website

Where a cookie consent tool is provided, you can use it to accept or reject non-essential cookies and to update your preferences whenever you like.

6.2 Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being placed. Here are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:

If you use a different browser, please refer to that browser’s help section for instructions on managing cookies.

7. Data Tracking and Website Performance Monitoring

We use cookies and analytics tools to monitor the performance and reliability of DRI Calculator. This includes understanding general usage trends, identifying technical problems, and measuring how well our calculator and content serve our visitors.

This tracking is used only to improve the website and user experience. The information collected through performance and analytics cookies is aggregated and statistical in nature and is not used to personally identify you. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive health information, and the values you enter into the calculator are not stored in an identifiable profile, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or the way we operate our website. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Your continued use of DRI Calculator after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy, subject to any applicable consent requirements in your region.
