Privacy policy

Audience measured with Google Analytics, no advertising, no account, no record of what you convert.

What you convert stays in your browser

The cups, ounces, inches, grams or degrees you type into a converter are turned into the other unit by a script running in your own browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or logged: reload the page and the fields are empty again. There is no account, newsletter or contact form, and your language is taken from the address of the page rather than remembered.

Audience measurement with Google Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful: pages viewed, referring page, visit length, device and browser type, approximate country and city. To do so Google Analytics sets two cookies on your device: _ga, which tells visitors apart with a random identifier, and _ga_296FFM8C0G, which keeps the state of the visit. Their lifetime is set to 13 months at most (390 days) and is not extended on each visit; Google’s default is 2 years.

The IP address is anonymised: Google Analytics 4 neither logs nor stores it, and only uses it at collection time to derive an approximate country and city. The page address sent to Google Analytics is stripped of its parameters. The site shows no advertising: ad storage, ad user data, ad personalisation and Google signals are switched off, and measurement data is shared with no advertiser.

Purpose: audience measurement. Legal basis: the publisher’s legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, acting as a processor under Article 28 GDPR. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Retention at Google: 14 months for visit-level and identifier-level data, then deletion; only anonymous totals remain.

To object: block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Every converter works the same way. These two cookies are the only ones the site sets: there is no advertising cookie and no social-media pixel.

Anonymous stability measurement

To find converters that break or pages that load slowly, the site runs Microsoft Clarity in cookieless mode. It reports technical facts only: script errors, loading times, clicks that do nothing and how far down a page people scroll.

In this mode Clarity sets none of its cookies (_clck, _clsk, MUID, CLID). Every page view gets a single-use identifier, so separate visits are never linked together. Page text and the values typed into the converters are masked in the browser before anything leaves it.

Clarity is provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. Recordings of page views are kept for 30 days and aggregated statistics for 13 months. The legal basis is the publisher's legitimate interest in keeping the converters working (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

You can object at any time by blocking the clarity.ms domain in your browser or content blocker, which leaves every converter working, or by writing to contact@howmanyof.com.

Hosting

The pages are served by GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.). Its servers keep technical logs, such as the IP address, time and page requested, to keep the service secure; the publisher cannot see them.

Your rights

You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability set out in Articles 15 to 22 GDPR: write to contact@howmanyof.com. With no user accounts, we usually hold no data that identifies you, and we will tell you so. No data is sold, rented or passed on; besides the host, only Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics) and Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (Clarity) receive data, as processors. You may also complain to the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr), or to the authority of the country where you live.
