Privacy policy

Last updated October 25, 2026. StateWage is run by Michael, an independent developer (about the site). Questions about this policy go to support@zovo.one.

Calculator inputs

The free calculators run in your browser. We do not send your wage, tax or planning inputs to Google Analytics or to Google AdSense, and we do not store them on a server.

Analytics

Optional Google Analytics starts only if you choose “Allow analytics.” It receives a page view and fixed labels for a valid result, a visible offer and a deliberate checkout click. We strip arbitrary URL query parameters and do not send calculator values, names, emails, checkout references or purchase status. Google may use analytics cookies after consent. Declining prevents its tag from loading. Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control and QA visits also suppress the tag. You can change your choice through “Analytics settings” in the site footer.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

StateWage may show ads served by Google AdSense on its calculator and guide pages. Ads never load on the paid kit pages, this privacy page or the contact page.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, read How Google uses cookies in advertising.

The ad script does not load for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or when the visitor's country cannot be determined. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we ask Google for non-personalized ads.

Purchases

The paid kit uses Stripe for payment and a separate first-party purchase verification route. A return page alone does not prove payment. Contact support@zovo.one for privacy questions.
