How GPACalculatorHQ handles data, including Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Adsterra, and affiliate links.
This page explains how GPACalculatorHQ handles data, and the third-party services the site uses. Last updated 2026-06-23.
Your calculations stay in your browser
All of the calculators on this site run client-side — in your browser. The grades, CGPA values, credits and other figures you type in are not sent to our servers and not stored by us. There are no user accounts, and we don't ask you to sign in.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate — which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from, and which tools are popular. This helps us decide what to build and fix. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects standard usage data (such as a truncated IP address, device type, and pages viewed). It does not receive the values you enter into the calculators.
Advertising
This site is free and supported by advertising. We use:
- Google AdSense — Google may use cookies to serve and personalise ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can review and control ad personalisation in your Google Ad settings.
- Adsterra — an advertising network that may also use cookies and similar technologies to display ads.
These advertising partners are third parties and set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. We don't control the specific ads shown, and we don't share the values you enter into the calculators with them.
Affiliate links
Some pages may contain affiliate links — for example to credential-evaluation services or study-abroad resources. If you click one and take an action (such as signing up), we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links never change our conversion formulas or what we recommend; our calculators and guidance are written independently of any commercial relationship.
Cookies and consent
The analytics and advertising services above use cookies. Where required (for example for visitors in the EU/EEA and UK), we apply consent controls so these services load in line with your choices. You can also manage or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so won't stop the calculators from working, since they don't depend on cookies.
Third-party privacy policies
For detail on how these services handle data, see Google's privacy policy (covering Analytics and AdSense) and Adsterra's privacy policy on their website.
Children
This site is a general-audience academic tool and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or the services it uses change. The date at the top reflects the latest revision.
