Who We Are
salary-converter.com is a free salary comparison tool that helps users understand how their salary translates between cities, adjusted for cost of living, taxes, and currency differences. We are committed to transparency about how we handle your data.
What Data We Collect
Information You Provide
When you use our salary converter, the cities and salary figures you enter are processed entirely in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or have access to the salary information you enter into the tool.
Automatically Collected Information
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. This includes:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
- Referral source (how you found our site)
Analytics data is collected in aggregate and cannot be used to personally identify you.
Cookies and Consent
Essential Cookies
We use a consent preference cookie (sc_consent) to remember your cookie choices. This cookie is set only if you interact with our consent banner and expires after 365 days.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, device type, approximate region, referrer). Analytics cookies do not identify you by name.
In the EU/EEA, UK, Switzerland, Brazil, and Canada, analytics storage is off by default until you accept cookies or enable Analytics in the consent banner. You can reject analytics entirely.
Outside those regions, analytics may run by default so we can keep improving a free tool. You can still clear cookies or use browser controls to limit tracking.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Google AdSense uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. The DART cookie enables Google to serve relevant ads tailored to the content you view and your previous browsing activity.
Google AdSense and its partners may also use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) to collect information about your visits for the purpose of ad targeting and measurement.
If you are visiting from a region where consent is required (EU/EEA countries, UK, Switzerland, Brazil, or Canada), we show a consent banner before advertising and analytics cookies are set. You may:
- Accept all — analytics and advertising
- More options — toggle Analytics and Advertising separately
- Reject all — keep analytics and advertising denied
If you are not in a strict consent region, advertising cookies may be set by default to support our ability to offer this tool for free.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info. You can also opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google advertising policy page.
