What does the site store in your browser?
The site stores one functional item itself, and Google stores advertising cookies where ads appear. Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser; localStorage is a similar browser store that a page can read but that is never sent to the server. This policy took effect on 18 September 2026.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| theme | localStorage (strictly functional) | Tempo Calculator | Remembers light or dark mode. Set only when you press the theme button. | Until you clear site data |
| Advertising cookies (names vary) | Third-party cookies | Google AdSense and its partners | Serve and measure ads, limit how often an ad repeats and prevent fraud, on pages where ads appear | Set by Google |
| Analytics cookies | None | None | The site uses no analytics service at present | Not applicable |
Google publishes the names and purposes of its advertising cookies on its page about how Google uses cookies. The rest of the site’s data handling is covered in the Tempo Calculator privacy policy.
What works without any cookies?
Every tool works with cookies and site data blocked. The calculators, metronome, click track generator and BPM finder run in your browser and need no stored data. Blocking storage has one visible effect: the site forgets your theme choice and follows your device’s light or dark setting instead.
How does consent work in the EEA and UK?
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent through a Google-certified consent management platform before personalized ads are shown. The consent message lets you accept or refuse personalized advertising. Without consent, Google shows only non-personalized or limited ads.
The theme item needs no consent, because it is strictly necessary for a feature you choose and is set only when you press the button.
How can you control cookies?
You control cookies through your browser settings and through Google’s ad settings. Every major browser lets you view, delete and block cookies and site data.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security, under Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy, under Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
To turn off personalized ads without blocking cookies, use Google Ads Settings or the industry opt-out page at www.aboutads.info. Opting out stops personalization; you still see ads, but they are not based on your browsing.
