Analytics cookies
If Cloudflare Web Analytics is enabled on this site, it may collect anonymized page view data to help us understand which content is useful. Cloudflare's analytics tool is designed to be privacy-preserving and does not use cookies to track individual visitors across sessions or across websites.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party advertising or tracking scripts.
What we do not use
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Cookies that follow you to other websites
- Any cookies that access your financial data (the budget tools do not use cookies at all)
3. Local storage (budget tools)
The KindMeans budget tools uses browser localStorage, not cookies. Local storage is a separate browser feature that stores data on your device only and cannot be read by us or any third party. It is not transmitted with requests the way cookies are.
You can clear your tool data at any time from within the tool's Export tab, or by clearing your browser's site data for kindmeans.com.
4. How to control cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Cookie preferences. Use the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page to review or update your choices.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. This may affect how some parts of the site work, but the budget tools will continue to function since it does not use cookies.
