Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 26, 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners a sense of how their pages are used. Cookies are stored by your browser and can be read by the site on later visits.
How We Use Cookies
Uistin (“https://www.uistin.com”) keeps its own use of cookies to a minimum. Our lure and tackle calculators run in your browser and don’t need cookies to work. The cookies that do appear fall into the categories below, and most come from Google AdSense, which funds the free tools.
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function and can’t be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or submitting a form. Without them, parts of the site may not work properly.
Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure and limit how often you see a given ad.
The main advertising cookies used on our site include:
- Google AdSense cookies: Used to deliver and measure the effectiveness of the advertisements shown on the site.
- DoubleClick cookies: Used by Google to track interactions with ads and to prevent the same ad from being shown too many times.
We do not currently run a separate web-analytics tracker such as Google Analytics.
Managing Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies, and you can manage your preferences in several ways:
Browser Settings
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings, usually under “Options” or “Preferences.” You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when one is being set.
Opt-Out of Google Advertising Cookies
You can opt out of personalised advertising by Google at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many third-party vendor cookies at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. We respect Do Not Track where it is technically feasible to do so.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
The calculators themselves will keep working with cookies disabled, since they compute in your browser. Disabling cookies may, however, affect ad delivery and any preference you’ve set on the site.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
