Short version

Ethiopian Calendar is a static site. We don�t have user accounts and we don�t collect personal information directly. Some pages display ads served by third-party advertising networks (see Third-party advertising below), which may set their own cookies and use device identifiers to show you relevant ads.

What gets stored

• Local browser settings � your language (English / Amharic), Ge'ez numeral toggle, and theme preference are saved in localStorage on your device under the ethiocal.v3.* namespace. They never leave your browser.
• Personal reminders � if you create reminders on the Holidays page, they're saved in localStorage only. We have no copy.
• Static hosting logs � our hosting provider may keep standard web access logs (IP address, user agent, request URL) for a short period for abuse prevention. We don't read or analyse them.

Cookies and trackers

We do not set first-party tracking cookies and we do not run our own analytics. However, third-party advertising networks (see below) may set cookies on your device through ad slots embedded on certain pages.

Third-party advertising

Some pages on this site display ads served by Google AdSense and its advertising partners. These networks may:

• Use cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites.
• Use information about your visit (such as IP address, user agent, and pages viewed) to measure ad performance and prevent fraud.
• Show personalised ads where allowed by your jurisdiction and your consent choices, and non-personalised ads otherwise.

You can review and control how Google uses data when you visit our site at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and opt out of personalised advertising at google.com/settings/ads.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are shown a consent prompt before any non-essential cookies are set, in line with the EU User Consent Policy. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the �Manage privacy choices� link in the footer (where available).

Exchange-rate data

Bank exchange rates are scraped daily from each bank's public website. We store only rates and bank metadata in our database � no information about who viewed them.

Third parties

• Google Fonts � used to load the page typefaces (Inter, JetBrains Mono, Noto Sans Ethiopic). Google may receive your IP and user-agent when fonts load.
• Bank websites � only contacted by our backend scraper, never by your browser when you visit Zemen.
