Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 23, 2026
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember simple things between page loads and visits, and they let advertising partners measure and serve ads. This page explains which cookies are involved when you use MetalReal (“https://www.metalreal.com”) and how to control them.
Cookies MetalReal Uses Itself
Because our calculators run entirely in your browser and the site has no login, MetalReal keeps its own cookie use to the essentials — the small, functional cookies needed for the site to load and behave correctly and to remember basic preferences. We do not set our own cookies to build advertising or behavioural profiles of you.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
Advertising is what keeps the calculators free, and we serve it through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may set cookies to deliver ads, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to measure whether ads work. Depending on your settings, some of those ads may be personalized based on your prior visits to this and other sites.
- AdSense and DoubleClick cookies: set by Google to serve ads, cap how many times an ad is shown, and measure ad performance.
- Advertising-partner cookies:third parties in Google’s network may set their own cookies under their own policies.
Managing and Opting Out
Your Browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings, usually under “Privacy” or “Cookies.” You can refuse all cookies, allow only some, or be prompted each time. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.
Advertising Choices
You can control personalized Google ads at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many third-party advertising cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out pages.
Do Not Track
Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” signal. We honour it where it is technically practical to do so.
If You Disable Cookies
The calculators themselves will keep working, since they don’t depend on advertising cookies. Blocking cookies mainly affects the ads you see and some minor conveniences.
Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy as technology or the law changes, updating the date above when we do.
