Information We Collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not request or store your name, email address, or any other personally identifying information in order for you to use the tools on this site. Any values you enter into a calculator — weights, temperatures, prices, ingredient amounts — are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Like most websites, we do collect limited technical and usage information automatically, described in the sections below.

This information is aggregated and is not used to identify individual visitors. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish between sessions and returning visitors.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.
