How FractionSteps handles data, analytics and advertising.
Last updated: 2026
This policy explains how FractionSteps (fractionsteps.com) handles information when you use the site. In short: the calculators run entirely in your browser, and we use a small set of standard third-party services for analytics and advertising, governed by the consent choice you make on the cookie banner.
The calculations stay in your browser
Every calculator, worksheet and practice problem on this site runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. The fractions you type are not sent to us or stored on a server. When you download a worksheet PDF, it is generated on your own device.
Analytics — Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are used and how the site performs, in aggregate. It is configured with Google Consent Mode v2, and IP addresses are anonymised. Before you accept cookies, analytics storage is set to denied, so no analytics cookies are placed. You can read Google's policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Advertising — Google AdSense and Adsterra
This site is free and supported by advertising from Google AdSense and Adsterra. These services may use cookies to serve and measure ads.
- Until you accept cookies, ad personalisation and ad storage are set to denied under Consent Mode v2, so ads shown are non-personalised.
- If you accept, these partners may use cookies to show more relevant ads and measure their performance.
Learn more or opt out at Google Ads policy and Adsterra's privacy policy. You can also manage ad personalisation at Google Ad Settings.
Your consent choice
If you are in the EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland or California, a banner asks you to Accept all or Reject non-essential cookies before any analytics or advertising cookies are set. Your choice is remembered in a small cookie so the banner doesn't reappear on every visit. You can change your mind by clearing your browser cookies for this site, which makes the banner appear again.
Cookies we may use
- A consent cookie that records your accept/reject choice.
- If you accept: Google Analytics and advertising cookies from Google AdSense and Adsterra.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. Because the calculators don't send your inputs anywhere, the data involved is limited to the analytics and advertising cookies described above. To ask a question about your data, email contactus@fractionsteps.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or its services change. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
