Cookie Policy

Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Nautical Solver uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and interact with the website.

Nautical Solver is a naval architecture and marine engineering platform providing informational content, engineering references, and online calculators related to ship design, resistance prediction, propulsion, stability, fuel consumption, and other marine engineering topics.

Like most modern websites, Nautical Solver may use cookies, browser storage technologies, analytics tools, and advertising services to support website functionality, improve user experience, understand aggregate usage trends, and help support the platform through advertising revenue.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They are commonly used to enable technical functionality, remember preferences, analyze traffic patterns, and support advertising or measurement systems.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a specified period of time
• First-party cookies — cookies set directly by the website you are visiting
• Third-party cookies — cookies set by external services integrated into the website

Cookies generally do not directly identify individual users, but they may be associated with browser identifiers, device information, or aggregated usage data depending on the technologies involved.

How Nautical Solver uses cookies and related technologies

Nautical Solver aims to keep tracking and data collection minimal while still maintaining reliable website functionality and sustainable operation.

Cookies or similar technologies may be used for purposes including:

• Basic website functionality and security
• Remembering certain interface or usability preferences
• Understanding general traffic and usage trends
• Measuring site performance and reliability
• Supporting advertising services used to fund the platform
• Improving engineering tools and user experience over time

Nautical Solver itself does not use cookies to directly identify users or independently build personal advertising profiles.

Analytics services

Nautical Solver uses Google Analytics (GA4) to better understand general website usage patterns, including page visits, traffic sources, device types, approximate geographic regions, and interaction trends.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect aggregated statistical information about website usage. This information helps improve calculator usability, site structure, performance, and content quality.

Nautical Solver uses privacy-oriented analytics settings where reasonably possible, including features such as IP anonymization and limited advertising personalization settings.

Additional information regarding how Google processes data may be found in Google's own privacy documentation and policies.

Advertising and Google AdSense

Nautical Solver may display advertisements through Google AdSense or related Google advertising services.

Advertising providers may use cookies, browser identifiers, or similar technologies to:

• Measure advertisement performance
• Limit repetitive ad displays
• Detect invalid traffic or abuse
• Support basic advertising functionality
• Provide regionally appropriate advertisements

Depending on user location, applicable regulations, and consent choices, advertising technologies may also be used to personalize advertising experiences.

Google and participating advertising partners may process information according to their own policies and legal obligations.

Consent management

Users located in certain regions, including the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, may be presented with cookie or consent choices when accessing Nautical Solver.

These consent interfaces may allow users to:

• Accept or reject certain categories of cookies
• Manage advertising and analytics preferences
• Withdraw or modify consent choices later

Consent choices may affect how analytics, advertising, or related technologies operate while using the website.

Browser storage and local device data

Some Nautical Solver calculators or interface components may use browser storage technologies such as localStorage or similar mechanisms.

These technologies may be used for purposes such as:

• Temporarily retaining calculator inputs
• Improving usability between page reloads
• Supporting interface preferences
• Reducing unnecessary repeated input

In many cases, such locally stored information remains on your own device and is not transmitted to Nautical Solver servers.

You may clear browser storage at any time through your browser settings.

Example usage scenario

For example, if a visitor uses a ship resistance calculator multiple times while comparing hull forms or propulsion assumptions, certain temporary browser storage mechanisms may help preserve entered values during navigation or page refreshes.

Similarly, analytics systems may record that a calculator page was visited and interacted with, helping Nautical Solver understand which engineering tools are most useful to visitors overall.

Third-party services

Nautical Solver may rely on third-party infrastructure or service providers including, but not limited to:

• Web hosting providers
• Analytics services
• Advertising providers
• Content delivery or performance services
• Security and traffic protection systems

Such providers may use their own cookies or technologies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Managing or disabling cookies

Most web browsers allow users to manage, block, or delete cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• Delete existing cookies
• Block future cookies
• Disable third-party cookies
• Receive notifications when cookies are set

Please note that disabling certain cookies or storage mechanisms may impact some website functionality, usability, or performance.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in:

• Website functionality
• Analytics or advertising integrations
• Applicable legal requirements
• Technical infrastructure or operational practices

Updated versions will be published on this page and become effective upon publication.
