What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used. Cookies are stored on your device’s browser and can be accessed by the website on subsequent visits.
How We Use Cookies
Agitative (“https://www.agitative.com”) keeps its own cookie use to a minimum. Our brewing calculators run entirely in your browser and do not need cookies to work — the doses, ratios, and readings you enter are never stored. The cookies present on the site fall into the categories below.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics to understand, in aggregate and anonymously, which tools and guides are used most and where visitors run into problems. This helps us improve the site and does not identify you individually.
Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website, which is how the tools stay free. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our website and other websites. The main advertising cookies used on our site include:
- Google AdSense cookies: Used to deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertisements shown on our website.
- DoubleClick cookies: Used by Google to track your interactions with advertisements and to prevent the same ad from being shown too many times.
Managing Cookies
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set.
Opt-Out of Advertising Cookies
You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many third-party vendors at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. We respect Do Not Track signals where technically feasible.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, some features of our website may not function properly, and access to certain content or interactive elements may be affected.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date above.
