Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 21, 2026. This policy explains what cookies are and how we use them on our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to site owners.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device after you close your browser, used to remember settings when you return) or "session" cookies (deleted automatically when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate. Others enable us to track analytics and improve our tax calculator tools. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of our site. For example, if you input values or select your state, necessary cookies can temporarily remember your state selection so you don't have to re-select it when navigating between pages.
Performance and Analytics Cookies

3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our first-party cookies, we may work with third-party partners (such as Google Analytics or hosting infrastructure providers) who may also place cookies on your device to gather site telemetry, monitor performance, or prevent malicious requests. We do not control how these third parties manage their cookies, and we recommend checking their respective privacy policies.
