Data Storage & Privacy

Cookies: This plugin does not set any cookies.

Browser localStorage (functional):
* vareoncalc_measurement_mode — Remembers the visitor’s preferred measurement system (metric/imperial) on calculators that support both. This is purely functional and not used for analytics.
* Admin-only keys (e.g., VAREONCALC_preview_calc_type) persist UI preferences within the settings page for convenience. These never leave the browser.

WordPress Database:
* Site options: Theme preferences, currency settings, and other configuration (stored in the WordPress options table).
* User meta (per-user): Admin notice dismissal timestamps.
* Transients: Short-lived flags for activation redirects (auto-expire within 30 seconds).

No telemetry or tracking: This plugin does not collect usage data or any personally identifiable information. All calculations happen entirely in the browser.

Uninstall cleanup: When you delete this plugin via the WordPress admin, all stored data (options, transients, and user meta) is automatically removed from the database. Browser localStorage data can be cleared via your browser settings.
