This Cookies Policy explains how SoundDBMeter.com uses cookies, analytics identifiers, browser storage, and similar technologies.
SoundDBMeter.com provides browser-based sound tools, decibel calculators, microphone tools, and educational guides. Some features may use local browser storage to remember settings or recent tool results. We also use Google Analytics 4 to understand general website usage and improve the site.
This page should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Data Security page.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored by your browser when you visit a website. They can help a website remember settings, support functionality, measure usage, or understand how visitors interact with pages.
Similar technologies may include:
localStorage- Session storage
- Analytics identifiers
- Browser-based site data
- Device or browser permission settings
These technologies are not all the same, but they can serve related purposes by storing or accessing information through your browser or device.
How SoundDBMeter.com Uses Cookies and Storage
SoundDBMeter.com may use cookies and similar technologies for three main purposes:
- To support tool functionality
- To remember local settings or recent results
- To understand general website usage through analytics
We do not currently display advertising, use affiliate links, or use remarketing cookies.
SoundDBMeter.com does not use cookies to record microphone audio. Microphone-based tools process audio locally in your browser, and we do not record, upload, or store microphone audio.
Essential and Functional Storage
Some browser storage may be used to make tools easier to use.
Depending on the tool, functional storage may remember:
- Calibration offset
- Recent measurement summaries
- Tool preferences
- Display settings
- Calculator values
- Browser-side tool state
For example, if you enter a calibration offset for a sound meter, browser storage may help remember that setting on the same device and browser. If you clear site data or use another browser, the saved value may no longer be available.
This type of storage supports the user-requested tool experience. It does not turn SoundDBMeter.com into an account-based service, and it does not require a login.
Google Analytics 4
SoundDBMeter.com uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website and to improve pages, tools, performance, and content.
Google Analytics may use cookies or identifiers to process information such as:
- Pages visited
- Approximate location
- Device type
- Browser type
- Session information
- Referring pages
- General interaction events
Google Analytics is not used to record microphone audio. It is not used to store your live sound measurement stream or create an audio file from your microphone.
SoundDBMeter.com does not currently use Google Analytics for advertising remarketing, affiliate tracking, or personalized advertising.
localStorage and Tool Results
Some SoundDBMeter.com tools may use localStorage.
localStorage is stored in your browser on your device. It can remain available after you close the browser, unless you clear it or your browser removes it.
SoundDBMeter.com may use localStorage to save practical tool information, such as:
- Recent sound measurement summaries
- Calibration values
- Selected tool options
- Entered calculator values
- Interface preferences
Because this information may remain only in your browser, SoundDBMeter.com may not be able to access, export, correct, or delete it from our server side.
You can usually remove locally stored information by clearing cookies and site data for SoundDBMeter.com in your browser settings.
Microphone Permission and Cookies
Microphone permission is controlled by your browser or device. It is not the same as a cookie.
When you use a microphone-based tool, microphone access starts only after you choose to begin measurement and your browser asks for permission. You can allow, deny, stop, or revoke microphone access through your browser settings.
SoundDBMeter.com processes microphone audio locally in your browser. We do not record microphone audio, upload microphone audio to our server, store microphone audio, or send microphone audio to an external audio-analysis API.
For more detail about microphone handling, read How SoundDBMeter.com Works and our Data Security page.
Advertising and Affiliate Cookies
SoundDBMeter.com does not currently display ads.
SoundDBMeter.com does not currently use affiliate links.
SoundDBMeter.com does not currently use advertising cookies, affiliate-tracking cookies, or remarketing cookies.
If this changes in the future, we may update this Cookies Policy and related privacy pages to explain the new technology, provider, purpose, and user choices.
Managing Cookies and Site Data
You can manage cookies, browser storage, and site data through your browser settings.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- Block cookies
- Delete cookies
- Clear site data
- Clear
localStorage - Review site permissions
- Revoke microphone permission
- Use private or incognito browsing
- Limit analytics or tracking through browser privacy settings
Clearing SoundDBMeter.com site data may remove saved calibration settings, recent tool results, preferences, and other browser-local values.
Blocking or clearing cookies and storage may affect how some tools remember settings, but the main educational content should remain accessible.
Browser and Device Controls
Different browsers provide different privacy controls. Your browser, operating system, device settings, and extensions may affect how cookies, storage, analytics, and microphone permissions work.
For best security and compatibility, keep your browser updated. If a tool does not work correctly, check whether browser permissions, privacy extensions, or blocked storage settings are preventing normal operation.
SoundDBMeter.com cannot control every browser, extension, network, or device setting.
Cookie Consent Platform
SoundDBMeter.com does not currently operate a cookie consent management platform.
We may review and update cookie controls if our tools, analytics setup, advertising status, legal requirements, or service providers change.
You can still manage cookies and browser storage through your browser settings at any time.
Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in our website, tools, analytics, browser storage practices, service providers, or legal requirements.
When we update this page, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of the policy.
