Cookies are a normal part of how modern websites work, but most people never get a clear explanation of what they actually do. This page is here to change that.
At DPSCalculator.co, we use cookies to make your experience smoother, faster, and more personalized. This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences with full transparency and control.
If you’ve ever wondered how online tools remember your settings or keep your experience consistent across visits, you’ll find everything you need to know right here.
1. What Cookies Are—In Simple Terms
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They don’t harm your system, don’t access your personal files, and don’t identify you as an individual.
Instead, cookies help a website:
- Run smoothly
- Remember your preferences
- Improve performance
- Deliver a better experience each time you visit
Think of them as tiny helpers that keep the site functioning the way you expect.

Here’s how cookies support your time on our site:
Essential Functionality
Some features simply won’t work without cookies — for example, remembering a setting inside a calculator or keeping a session stable.
