This policy explains what information is collected when you visit countypropertytax.org ("the site") and how it is used.
Information you enter in calculators
Our calculators run entirely in your web browser. The numbers you type are not sent to us or stored on our servers. If you use the "copy link" button, the numbers are placed in the page address so you can share them. That link is only shared if you share it.
Self-help kits
Kits on this site (pages under /kit/) work the same way as the calculators: everything you type stays in your browser, and the PDF is made in your browser. When you open a paid kit, the only thing sent to our server is the license key or order number, so the server can ask the payment provider whether it is valid; the key is not stored, and no names, addresses or other kit inputs reach us. Payments are handled by the payment provider under its own privacy policy. The kit remembers your license key in this browser's local storage so you can come back; clearing site data removes it.
Advertising measurement
We run ads on Google Ads and Meta and measure whether they lead to a kit purchase. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland none of this happens: this site has no consent banner, so advertising measurement is denied there. The Meta Pixel does not load in European time zones, Google receives only cookieless signals without an identifier, no advertising identifiers are stored and no purchase data is sent to Google Ads and Meta.
Everywhere else:
- Google Ads (Google LLC): when you arrive from a Google ad, Google may set the cookie
_gcl_aw(or_gcl_gb) holding the click id; it expires after 90 days. - Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms, Inc.): sets the cookies
_fbp(a browser id) and, when you arrive from a Meta ad,_fbc(the click id); both expire after 90 days. - Click id on the kit page: the kit page keeps a click id from the page address (gclid, gbraid, wbraid or fbclid) for 90 days in this browser's local storage (
kit:click), so a later purchase can be matched to the ad. Clearing site data removes it. - When you buy: the kit page passes these ids, your browser's user agent and the page address with the order to Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record. After payment our server reports the purchase to Google Ads and Meta: order number, amount, currency, kit, the ids and an irreversible SHA-256 hash of your e-mail address. We get the e-mail address from Paddle.com only to make that hash; we do not store it.
The platforms use this to match purchases to their ads, under their own privacy policies (Google, Meta). You can delete or block advertising cookies in your browser settings, and manage Google ads at My Ad Center.
Server and security logs
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Usage measurement (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC, to see in aggregate how the site is used: which pages are viewed, the approximate country and the type of device. We do not send names, email addresses or anything you type into a calculator to Google, and we do not use Analytics to build profiles of individual visitors.
The site uses Google Consent Mode. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage are denied by default: no analytics cookies are set, and Google receives only cookieless signals without an identifier. Elsewhere, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies (such as _ga) to tell repeat visits apart. You can block these with your browser's cookie settings or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. See Google's privacy policy.
Advertising and cookies
The site uses Google AdSense to show ads.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
- Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent through a Google-certified consent message before personalized ads or non-essential cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy settings link shown by that message.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, KVKK or U.S. state privacy laws such as the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to certain processing. We do not hold accounts or profiles about visitors. For requests about advertising data, use Google's tools above. For anything else, contact us.
Children
The site is intended for adult homeowners, buyers and renters and is not directed to children under 13.

Kit inputs and purchases

Analytics (Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2) and advertising cookies are described above. Ads (Google AdSense) appear on content pages only, not on kit pages.
