Privacy
Short, because there's little to tell
Effective July 2026.
- No accounts. You never sign in, and the site stores no profile about you.
- Calculations stay in your browser session. The mileage, driving mix, and prices you enter are used to compute results and are not saved to a database.
- No advertising or third-party trackers. Pages load no ad scripts and no social pixels.
- Aggregate, cookieless analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics — a first-party, cookieless service that counts page views and referrers in aggregate. It sets no cookies, stores no cross-site identifiers, and never follows you to other sites. Visitors are counted via a short-lived anonymized hash, not a persistent profile.
- Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregate acquisition and page-performance reporting. Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled. Google Analytics may use first-party measurement cookies according to your browser settings.
- Saved preferences stay on your device.Your chosen price state and compare-tray contents live in your browser's localStorage only — they are never sent to us.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider keeps standard, short-lived request logs (IP address, URL, user agent) for security and abuse prevention.
- External links(for example to FuelEconomy.gov or Pexels) are governed by those sites' own policies.
