1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are completely harmless and serve a functional purpose — like remembering that you prefer light or dark mode on our website.
2. How Gainii Uses Cookies
Gainii uses cookies for three main reasons:
- To make the website work properly (essential cookies)
- To understand how visitors use our website (analytics cookies)

Essential cookies are required for our website to function correctly. Without them, features like your saved theme preference won't work. You cannot opt out of essential cookies, but they collect no personally identifiable information.
5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You are in control of non-essential cookies. You can manage them in several ways:
Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Here are links to cookie settings for popular browsers:
Opt Out of Google Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Opt Out of Advertising Cookies
You can manage Google advertising cookies at Google Ad Settings. Note that opting out does not mean you will see fewer ads — just less personalised ones.
⚠️ Note: Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use our calculators, read our articles, or access any core feature of Gainii.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on Gainii are placed by third-party services we use (like Google Analytics and Google AdSense). These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie policies that govern how they use your data. We encourage you to read them:
