Your privacy, plainly.

Last updated 2026-06-23

True Beauty Cost (https://truebeautycost.com) publishes free beauty cost calculators and editorial guides. This policy explains what data is involved when you visit, and the third parties that help run the site. It is written to be readable, not legalistic.

What we collect

Nothing directly. There are no accounts, logins or sign-up forms, and the calculators run entirely in your browser - the numbers you type are never sent to us or stored on a server. We do not sell or rent any data, because we do not collect any to begin with.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic (page views, referrers, rough country). It is privacy-first: it sets no cookies, does not fingerprint you, and does not track you across sites. We see trends, not individuals.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We display ads through Google AdSense. 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 this site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com), or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, we show a Google-certified consent message and only set advertising cookies according to your choice.

Affiliate links and disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you click through and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This includes the Amazon Associates Program (we earn from qualifying purchases) and Skimlinks, which can turn ordinary product links into affiliate links and may set a cookie when you click an outbound link.

Affiliate revenue keeps the calculators free, but it does not change the math. The break-even, cost-per-use and savings figures are computed from the prices and assumptions you see and can edit - they are never weighted toward a product because it pays a commission. Prices shown are illustrative 2026 estimates and vary by location and retailer.

External links

When you follow a link to a retailer or another site, that site's own privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for the content or practices of sites we link to.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. The date at the top reflects the latest revision; material changes will be noted here.
