Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Tire.Watch ("we", "us") handles information when you use tire.watch (the "Site"). Tire.Watch is a free tire age calculator. We aim to collect as little data as possible.

Information we collect

The calculator runs entirely in your browser. The tire date codes you type are processed locally and are not sent to or stored on our servers. We do not ask for or collect names, email addresses, or other personal details to use the tool.

We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the Site (for example, page views and approximate region). Google Analytics may set cookies and process limited data such as a randomised identifier, device and browser type, and approximate location derived from your IP address.

Advertising

We may in future display advertising through Google AdSense and other Google advertising products. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to the Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Cookies and consent

When you first visit, we show a consent banner. Analytics and advertising cookies are set to denied by default (Google Consent Mode v2) until you choose "Accept". If you choose "Decline", these cookies are not enabled. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which will make the banner reappear.

Your choices

• Decline cookies using our consent banner.
• Opt out of personalised ads at Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Third-party services

We rely on Google services (Analytics and, in future, AdSense). Their handling of data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal information.

Children

The Site is a general-audience tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
