Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use What It Costs To Run (https://whatitcoststorun.com), how it is used, and the choices you have.

Information you enter into calculators

The numbers you type into our calculators are processed in your own browser. They are not sent to us and we do not store them. If you choose a state, that choice is saved in your own browser's local storage so the next page can remember it; it never leaves your device and you can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server log data such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and the date and time of each request. This is used to keep the site secure and working.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. 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 you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can opt out of some other third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The calculators work without cookies.

Analytics

We may use an analytics service to understand in aggregate how the site is used, such as which pages are most visited. This information is not used to identify individual visitors.

How we use information

We use the information described above to operate and secure the site, to understand which content is useful, and to display advertising that funds the site. We do not sell personal information for money.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, including California and other U.S. states with privacy laws, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to correct it, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise these rights, use the opt-out links above or contact us. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before advertising cookies are used and may withdraw it at any time.

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
