How the half birthday is calculated

A half birthday is found by adding exactly six calendar months to your birth date — not by adding 182 or 183 days. Calendar months have different lengths, so counting months is the only method that always lands on the "same day, six months later" that people actually celebrate. If you were born on November 10, your half birthday is May 10. If you were born on March 15, it is September 15.

One edge case needs a rule: months with 31 days whose half-birthday month is shorter. If you were born on August 31, six months later would be "February 31" — a date that does not exist. This calculator clamps to the last day of the month, so your half birthday is February 28 (or February 29 in a leap year). The same clamping applies to October 31 (→ April 30) and May 31 (→ November 30). Your ordinary birthday is never affected — only the half birthday shifts, and only by a day or two.

Because a half birthday repeats every year, the calculator always shows your next one: if this year's date has already passed, it rolls forward to next year's and counts the days from today. Want the story behind the tradition? Read our guide, What Is a Half Birthday?

How the golden birthday works

The rule is beautifully simple: take the day of the month you were born on, and that number is the age of your golden birthday. Born on January 7? Golden birthday: your 7th. Born on June 30? You will wait until your 30th — which is why late-in-the-month babies often discover their golden birthday as adults, while early-in-the-month babies celebrated theirs before they were old enough to remember it.

The golden birthday itself always falls on your regular birthday in the golden year, so the date is your birth month and day in the year you were born plus your birth-day number. One special case: people born on February 29 reach their golden birthday at age 29 — but years ending in 29 are never leap years, so there is no February 29 in their golden year. This calculator celebrates it on February 28, the most common convention, and notes the shift when it happens.

If your golden birthday has already passed, the calculator also works out your double golden (age = 2 × birth day) and triple golden (age = 3 × birth day) dates, so the celebration is not lost — it just got bigger. For the history of the tradition and party ideas for every golden age, read What Is a Golden Birthday?

Counting life in days

A day-count milestone works by simple, exact addition: your birth date plus the number of days. You turned 1,000 days old a little before your third birthday, 5,000 days old at about 13 years and 8 months, and the famous 10,000 days milestone arrives at roughly 27 years and 4 months. Because leap days are real calendar days, this calculator counts them properly — the result can differ by several days from a quick "years × 365.25" estimate.

Two milestones on the list work slightly differently. 1,000 weeks old is exactly 7,000 days, landing at about 19 years and 2 months. 1 billion seconds old is the most precise celebration of all: one billion seconds is 11,574 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes and 40 seconds, so if we count from the very start of your birth day, you cross the billion-second line a little after 1:46 AM on the date shown, at about 31 years and 8 months of age.

The table marks every milestone as past or upcoming and highlights the next one in gold with the exact number of days remaining — that is the one to put in your calendar. Curious why 10,000 days became the famous one? Our guide When Will You Be 10,000 Days Old? explains the whole ladder.

How your totals are counted

Days lived is the exact number of calendar days between your birth date and today — every leap day included, counted one by one by the calendar rather than estimated. Weeks are full seven-day weeks within that total. Hours and minutes run from the start of your birth day up to the current moment, so they tick over during the day rather than only at midnight.

The seconds counter is live: it starts from midnight at the beginning of your birth day and increases once per second while you watch. Because most of us do not know the exact time we were born, the counter is precise to within your (unknown) birth time — if you do know it, your true total is a few hours more or less than the number shown. Either way, the day you cross one billion seconds is calculated on the Day Milestones page.

Your birth weekday is the actual day of the week your birth date fell on, and your zodiac sign follows the standard Western (tropical) zodiac date ranges used by most newspapers and horoscope columns — Aries begins March 21, Taurus April 20, and so on around the year. If your birthday falls on a cusp day, different sources occasionally place it in the neighboring sign; we use the most widely published ranges.

How the countdown works

The calculator builds your birthday in the current year first. If that date is still ahead, that is your next birthday; if it has already passed, the countdown rolls to next year's date automatically. The "days left" figure counts full calendar days from today, so on the morning of your birthday it reads zero — party day.

Leap-day birthdays get an explicit rule instead of an error. If you were born on February 29, then in non-leap years this calculator celebrates your birthday on February 28, the most common convention (some families choose March 1 — if that is you, your party is one day later than the date shown). In leap years, of course, you get the real February 29, which is exactly why leap-day babies tend to celebrate their "off-year" birthdays with extra enthusiasm.

While you wait, remember you have more than one date worth counting down to: your half birthday arrives six months from your birthday, and your next day-count milestone could be even sooner. Check all three and pick the nearest excuse for cake.

A half birthday is the date that falls exactly six months after your real birthday. If you were born on December 2, your half birthday is June 2. If you were born on April 25, it is October 25. It carries no legal weight — you cannot vote, drive or do anything else six months early — but as a small, joyful landmark in the middle of the year, it has been quietly celebrated for generations, and it is more popular now than ever.

How to calculate your half birthday

The method is simple: add six calendar months to your birth date and keep the same day of the month. January becomes July, February becomes August, and dates in the second half of the year roll into the first half of the next — a September 18 birthday has a half birthday on March 18, an October 30 birthday on April 30.

There is exactly one wrinkle, and it catches people out: months do not all have the same number of days. If your birthday is August 31, adding six months points at "February 31," which does not exist. The standard fix — the one our calculator uses — is to clamp to the last day of the shorter month, giving a half birthday of February 28, or February 29 in a leap year. The same rule turns October 31 into April 30 and May 31 into November 30. Birthdays on the 29th, 30th and 31st of any other month are unaffected, because their half-birthday months are long enough to hold them.

Notice what this method does not do: it does not add half of 365 days. Adding 182 or 183 days would drift your half birthday away from the matching day of the month, and within a few years it would wander noticeably. The calendar-month method keeps your half birthday glued to the same numbered day forever, which is why it is the universally accepted way to find it. If you would rather not do month arithmetic in your head, the Half Birthday Calculator does it instantly and also counts down the days to your next one.

Where the tradition came from

The half birthday is most strongly associated with school classrooms. Children born in the summer months faced a small injustice: their classmates with school-year birthdays got to bring cupcakes, wear the birthday crown and be sung to in class, while summer babies never did, because school was out. Teachers solved this by celebrating summer-born children on their half birthdays instead — a December classroom party for a June baby — and many schools still keep the tradition today.

From classrooms it spread into families. Parents of young children began marking the half year ("she's four and a half!" is a phrase every preschooler delivers with enormous pride), baby photography culture adopted the six-month milestone shoot, and eventually adults reclaimed it too. A half birthday needs no justification beyond the oldest one in the book: the year is long, birthdays are fun, and one per year is not very many.

Who benefits most from a half birthday?

• Summer-born kids, who finally get a celebration while school is in session.
• December and January babies, whose real birthdays compete with the holidays, crowded calendars and everyone's exhausted party budget. A June or July half birthday gets better weather and a day that is entirely theirs.
• Leap-day babies, born February 29, who only get a "real" birthday every four years. Many celebrate February 28 or March 1 in off years — and August 29, their half birthday, gives them one more fixed point in the year.
• Anyone whose birthday lands badly — during exam season, on a somber anniversary, or in the depths of winter when nobody wants to go out.

Ways to celebrate a half birthday

The charm of a half birthday is that it is deliberately low-stakes. Traditions that fit the spirit of the day include:

• Half a cake. Bake or buy a cake and serve literally half of it — or cut a round cake in half and frost the cut side. It photographs brilliantly and tastes exactly as good.
• Half portions, whole menu. A dinner of halves: half sandwiches, sliders, mini everything. Restaurants that serve small plates make this easy.
• The "and a half" card. Cards that say "Happy 34½th" are a genre of their own, and the joke never gets old because it is only available once a year.
• A half-day off. Leave work at lunch, spend the afternoon doing the thing you keep postponing. Half a day for a half birthday is perfectly proportioned.
• Reverse the season. Winter birthday? Half birthday means a barbecue or beach day. Summer birthday? Your half birthday is your excuse for the cozy winter version.

Half birthday etiquette, such as it is

There are no real rules, but the social contract is understood: a half birthday is a celebration you host for yourself or that close family marks with you. Gifts are small or edible, never expected, and nobody is offended by a half birthday they were not invited to. It is, in other words, the most relaxed birthday format ever invented — all of the cake, none of the pressure. Find your date with the Half Birthday Calculator, put it in your calendar as a yearly recurring event, and enjoy owning a day of the year that most people have never thought to claim.

A golden birthday is the birthday on which you turn the same age as the day of the month you were born. Born on the 8th of any month? Your golden birthday was — or will be — your 8th birthday. Born on the 21st? Your golden birthday is your 21st, a coincidence of timing that feels almost designed. It is the only birthday defined by pure numerical symmetry, and for most people it happens exactly once in a lifetime.

The meaning of "golden"

The name plays on the idea of a golden moment: the one birthday when the two numbers that have followed you since birth — your age and your birth date — line up perfectly. Because the match can only happen once (next year your age has moved on, and your birth day never changes), golden birthdays have acquired an outsized reputation as lucky, once-in-a-lifetime celebrations worth doing properly. Some families treat them the way other families treat a sweet sixteen or a 21st: the big one.

Your golden age depends entirely on your birth day, which creates three very different populations. People born on the 1st through the 10th of a month have childhood golden birthdays — magical if your family knows about them, easily missed if they do not. People born on the 11th through the 20th get teenage and young-adult goldens, perfectly placed for a memorable party. And people born on the 21st through the 31st get full adult golden birthdays, often discovering the concept just in time to celebrate their 24th, 27th or 30th in gold.

A short history

The golden birthday is a surprisingly modern tradition. It is widely credited to Joan Bramsch, an American author who wrote about the idea in the 1950s after celebrating her own children's birthdays this way, and it spread slowly through parenting magazines, greeting-card culture and word of mouth. For decades it remained a piece of family folklore in the United States — something a grandmother might know — before social media turned it into a widely shared milestone in the 2010s. Today it is common enough that "golden birthday" decorations are a standard party-supply category, yet still rare enough that many adults learn about theirs only after it has passed.

That discoverability gap is exactly why the double and triple golden extensions exist. If your golden birthday passed uncelebrated, the tradition offers second and third acts: your double golden birthday, when you turn twice your birth day (born on the 12th, double golden at 24), and your triple golden, at three times your birth day (36, in the same example). Our Golden Birthday Calculator works out all three dates automatically whenever the original golden has already gone by.

Golden birthdays by birth day

• Born 1st–5th: golden at ages 1–5. A golden first birthday is a beloved photo theme; expect gold balloons and a very confused guest of honor.
• Born 6th–12th: golden at 6–12 — prime childhood party years, perfect for a gold-themed treasure hunt.
• Born 13th–19th: golden in the teens, when the birthday person is old enough to appreciate the concept and young enough to love a theme.
• Born 20th–26th: golden in the twenties — the sweet spot. Old enough for a real party, young enough for it to feel special rather than ironic.
• Born 27th–31st: golden at 27–31. If yours is coming up, you have likely just found out — plan accordingly, you only get one.
• Born February 29: golden at 29, celebrated on February 28, 2029-style years when the 29th does not exist — a golden birthday that is rare even by golden standards.

Party ideas that lean into the gold

The theme writes itself: everything gold. Gold balloons in the shape of the golden age, gold confetti, gold-wrapped favors, and a cake with gold leaf or gold drip icing. Ask guests to wear something gold, serve golden snacks (pineapple, corn, honey-glazed anything, sparkling cider or champagne), and make a playlist from the year the birthday person was born. A particularly nice touch for adults is the "golden hour" party — held outdoors at sunset, when the light does the decorating for you.

For gifts, the tradition is gold itself: gold jewelry for a 21st or 25th, a gold-foil edition of a favorite book, or a framed print of the calendar page of the golden date. For children, a "golden ticket" invitation and a treasure hunt for gold-wrapped chocolate coins remains undefeated.

One more idea deserves a permanent place in the tradition: the golden time capsule. At the party, have every guest write a note — a memory, a prediction, a piece of advice — and seal them all in a gold envelope or box, not to be opened until the double golden birthday. For a child turning 8, that means opening the capsule at 16, with eight years of perspective. For someone turning 25, it opens at 50, a quarter-century later, when the notes from their golden year will read like messages from another life. Few party activities cost less and mean more, and it gives the double golden — otherwise just a consolation milestone — a ceremony of its own to look forward to.

Cousins of the golden birthday

The golden birthday has a few relatives worth knowing. A champagne birthday is another name for the same golden event in some regions — the terms are used interchangeably. A platinum birthday is claimed by some for the birthday when your age matches the last two digits of your birth year reversed, or when you turn the age of your birth year itself (born in 1990, platinum at… well, nobody has managed that one yet). More practical is the silver birthday some families celebrate at 25 regardless of birth day. None of these has the golden birthday's clean, universal rule — age equals birth day, once per life — which is precisely why the golden remains the famous one. If a relative or a variant gives you one more date to celebrate, though, this site's position is simple: take it.

Never miss yours

The tragedy of the golden birthday is not missing the party — it is never knowing the date existed. So check yours now with the Golden Birthday Calculator, check your children's and your partner's while you are at it, and put every upcoming golden in the family calendar. Somebody in your life has one coming. It would be a shame to let a once-in-a-lifetime birthday pass as an ordinary Tuesday.

Quick: how many days old are you? Almost nobody knows, and yet the day you turn 10,000 days old is one of the most quietly satisfying milestones in a life. It arrives at about 27 years and 4 months — an age with no traditional celebration attached to it, sandwiched between the landmark birthdays of 21 and 30. Day-count birthdays fix that gap. They give every age a set of round, personal, oddly motivating dates that belong to you alone.

So when exactly is 10,000 days?

Your 10,000th day is simply your birth date plus 10,000 days. Because 10,000 divided by 365.25 is about 27.38, it always falls roughly 27 years and 4½ months after you were born — but the exact date depends on how many February 29ths your first 27 years contained, and on where in the year your birthday sits. For example, a person born on January 1, 2000 turned 10,000 days old on May 19, 2027. Someone born a year later reaches it in the autumn of 2028. There is no shortcut formula; the only way to get the date right is to count real days on a real calendar, which is precisely what the Day Milestones Calculator does.

Why has 10,000 become the famous number, rather than 9,000 or 12,000? Partly because it is the first five-figure day count a person reaches, and five figures feel monumental in a way that 9,999 does not. Partly because of timing: it lands in the late twenties, an era when birthdays have started to feel routine and a genuinely novel milestone is welcome. And partly because the number is big enough to be impressive but the wait for the next one — 20,000 days, at about age 54 — is long enough to make 10,000 feel like an event.

The full ladder of day-count milestones

• 1,000 days — about 2 years 9 months. The toddler era's big round number, often celebrated by parents.
• 5,000 days — about 13 years 8 months. Arrives just after the 13th birthday celebrations fade.
• 1,000 weeks (7,000 days) — about 19 years 2 months. A satisfying one for number lovers, because weeks are how babies' ages are counted at the very start of life.
• 10,000 days — about 27 years 4 months. The headline milestone, and the most celebrated day-count birthday of all.
• 1 billion seconds — about 31 years 8 months. Not a day count at all, but the same spirit: a huge, round, personal number. One billion seconds is 11,574 days plus a little under two hours, so it arrives about four years after your 10,000th day.
• 15,000 days — about 41 years 1 month, just after the big 4-0.
• 20,000 days — about 54 years 9 months.
• 25,000 days — about 68 years 5 months.
• 30,000 days — about 82 years 2 months. Reaching it means having lived through roughly thirty thousand sunrises, a fact worth a party by any standard.

Why day-count birthdays feel different

A regular birthday is shared with millions of people and arrives whether you pay attention or not. A day-count milestone is different in three ways. First, it is unique to you — almost certainly nobody else at your party shares your 10,000th day. Second, it sneaks up: because nobody tracks days, the milestone is always a surprise until you calculate it, and learning that yours is in three weeks (or was last month) produces a jolt that annual birthdays rarely do anymore. Third, it reframes time itself. "Twenty-seven" is an abstraction; "ten thousand days" is an inventory. People consistently report that seeing their life expressed as a day count makes the days feel more valuable, not less — researchers who study time perception would call it a salience effect, and it is the same reason countdowns and streaks motivate us.

How to celebrate a day-count birthday

Keep it proportionate and a little playful. Popular approaches include a dinner with exactly the people who have known you for most of those days, a "10,000" themed cake (the number candles exist, and bakers love the brief), or donating a cent, a dime or a dollar per hundred days to a cause — $100 at a dollar per hundred days is a classic 10,000-day gesture. Travelers sometimes mark the day somewhere new, on the logic that day 10,000 should not look like day 9,999. And if you discover your milestone already passed, do not let it go: celebrate the nearest upcoming one instead. There is always a next round number, and the Day Milestones table shows exactly how many days you have to plan it.

A note on counting correctly

Two counting conventions are worth knowing. Day counts start at zero: the day you are born is day 0, you are one day old the next day, and you "turn" 10,000 days old exactly 10,000 days after your birth date — the same way you turn 27 exactly 27 years after it. And leap days count. Any shortcut that multiplies by 365 will be off by roughly a week by the time you reach 10,000 days; even 365.25 drifts by a day or two depending on where the leap days fall. Exact calendar addition is the only method that gives the true date, and it is the method used everywhere on this site. Find your full ladder — past milestones, the next one highlighted, and the exact days remaining — in the Day Milestones Calculator.

Every culture on Earth marks the day of a person's birth somehow — but "somehow" covers an astonishing range, from being gently showered with flour to having your face pushed (affectionately) into a cake. Here is a tour of the world's birthday customs, plus the statistics and quirks that make birthdays stranger than you thought.

Birthday traditions around the world

Denmark may have the most charming custom: while a child sleeps, the family surrounds the bed with gifts, flowers and small Danish flags, so the birthday begins the moment they open their eyes. Flags fly from houses and public buildings for birthdays at any age — a Danish flag outside a home is a reliable sign that someone inside is celebrating.

Mexico gave the world the piñata, traditionally a star-shaped figure with seven cones representing the seven deadly sins, broken open while guests sing "Las Mañanitas," the beloved birthday song that predates the party itself — it is often sung at dawn, sometimes by hired mariachis outside the birthday person's window. Mexico also contributes la mordida, "the bite," in which the guest of honor takes the first bite of cake hands-free and is promptly, ceremonially, pushed face-first into it.

In Germany, birthdays come with a strict rule for adults: never celebrate early. Wishing a German a happy birthday before the day is considered bad luck — the party starts at midnight or not at all. Single men turning 30 in parts of northern Germany may find themselves sweeping the town hall steps in a tutu until a friend "frees" them, a tradition called Treppenfegen. In the Netherlands, the milestone years 16, 21 and especially 50 are "crown years" — turning 50 means you have "seen Abraham" (or Sarah, for women), and giant inflatable Abraham and Sarah dolls appear on lawns to announce it to the neighborhood.

South Korea traditionally counted a baby as one year old at birth, with everyone aging together on New Year — a system formally replaced by international age counting in 2023. Korean birthdays still feature miyeok-guk, a seaweed soup eaten for health and good fortune, also eaten by new mothers after childbirth. In China, longevity noodles — one very long noodle, eaten without breaking it — symbolize a long life, and red eggs are given for a baby's first month and at milestone birthdays. In India, birthdays may begin with blessings and sweets at a temple, and new clothes are traditional; some families feed the poor as part of the celebration, turning the day outward.

Denmark also appears in the flour file — in fact the gentle flour-and-cinnamon shower belongs to Danish tradition too: unmarried Danes turning 25 are tied up and dusted with cinnamon by friends, and at 30, pepper. Australia and New Zealand serve fairy bread — white bread, butter and rainbow sprinkles — at children's parties, a snack so iconic it has inspired national debates about the correct sprinkle density. And in Brazil, the birthday child traditionally gives the first slice of cake not to themselves but to the person they love most, with pulled earlobes — one tug per year — as the counting method of choice.

Birthday facts worth stealing for small talk

• The most common birthday in the United States is September 9, with September dates dominating the top ten — a pattern that points back to conception season around the December holidays. The least common are around Christmas and New Year, though that partly reflects scheduled deliveries avoiding holidays.
• "Happy Birthday to You" began as a classroom greeting song, "Good Morning to All," written by Kentucky sisters Patty and Mildred Hill in 1893. It became famous enough to be sung to President John F. Kennedy by Marilyn Monroe in 1962, and it was under copyright for decades — a US court finally confirmed in 2016 that the lyrics belong to the public.
• The birthday paradox is real: in any group of just 23 people, there is a better-than-even chance that two share a birthday. With 70 people, the odds exceed 99.9%. It feels impossible until you realize the group contains 253 possible pairs.
• Your birthday weekday drifts. Because 365 is one more than a multiple of 7, your birthday falls one weekday later each ordinary year, and two weekdays later after a leap day intervenes — which is why your birthday "rotates" through the week across your life. Our Birthday Countdown shows the weekday of your next one.
• August is the busiest birth month in the US, and more people are born on Tuesdays than any other day of the week — weekends see fewer births largely because scheduled inductions and C-sections cluster on weekdays.
• February 29 babies are called "leaplings," and there are only about five million of them worldwide. Their odds at birth were roughly 1 in 1,461.
• The world's birthday cake record-keepers note that candles predate cake as we know it: ancient Greeks offered round cakes to Artemis, goddess of the moon, with candles to mimic its glow — one origin story for both the cake's shape and the wish made while blowing them out.

The takeaway

Cultures disagree about flour, noodles, inflatable patriarchs and whether the first slice is yours at all. The one thing they agree on is that the day a person arrived deserves marking — loudly, sweetly and preferably with witnesses. The modern milestones on this site — half birthdays, golden birthdays, 10,000 days, a billion seconds — are simply the newest entries in that very old tradition: new excuses, invented by arithmetic, for the oldest celebration there is. Find your next one with the Day Milestones Calculator and put it on the calendar.

Milestone Days is a small, free website built around a simple observation: a birthday happens once a year, but a life is counted in days — and the days contain milestones nobody is watching. Six months after every birthday sits a half birthday. Once in a lifetime, your age matches the day of the month you were born, and that is your golden birthday. And scattered through the decades are exact, personal, round-number dates — your 10,000th day, your 1,000th week, your billionth second — that pass silently unless someone does the arithmetic. This site does the arithmetic.

What you can calculate here

How the math works

Every calculator on this site uses exact calendar arithmetic rather than averages. Day milestones are computed by adding real days to your birth date, so every leap day between your birth and the milestone is counted. Half birthdays are computed by adding six calendar months and clamping to the last day of the month when the target month is shorter — the half birthday of August 31 is February 28 (or February 29 in a leap year), never a spillover into March. Birthdays for people born on February 29 are observed on February 28 in non-leap years, the most common convention, and the calculators say so whenever that rule affects a result. Golden birthdays use the day-of-month rule directly: the age equals the birth day, with double and triple goldens at two and three times that number.

All of this happens locally in your browser. When you type a date of birth into any calculator, the computation runs in JavaScript on this page, on your own device. The date is not sent to a server, not stored in a database and not shared — there is no account to create and nothing to sign up for. You can read the details in our Privacy Policy.

Why we built it

Birthday searches are among the most joyful searches people make — usually for someone they love, often at the last minute, and frequently ending in a shrug because the interesting dates are hard to compute by hand. We wanted one festive place where the whole family of birthday milestones lives together: enter one date of birth and see everything. If Milestone Days helps one forgotten golden birthday get the party it deserved, it has done its job.

Questions, corrections or ideas for a milestone we should add? We would genuinely like to hear them — see the Contact page.

The fastest way to reach the Milestone Days team is by email:

We read everything that arrives at that address. The things we most like to receive:

• Corrections. If a calculator ever gives you a date you believe is wrong, tell us the date of birth you entered and the result you saw. Date math has edge cases — leap days, month-end birthdays — and we test for them, but a real-world report is the best test there is. We will check the arithmetic by hand and fix any genuine error.
• Milestone ideas. Half birthdays and billion-second birthdays cannot be the end of the list. If there is a personal milestone you wish someone would calculate — a silver birthday, a "days until retirement" count, a pet's milestones — suggest it.
• Guide requests and feedback. Topics you would like explained, traditions from your country or family we should add to the birthday traditions guide, or anything that was unclear.
• Everything else — business inquiries, privacy questions and feedback about the site itself.

We aim to reply within a few business days. Please do not send us your date of birth or anyone else's personal information by email unless it is directly relevant to a calculation problem you are reporting — the calculators on this site run entirely in your browser and never need us to handle your data at all.

We do not combine such logs with any personal information, because we do not hold any.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) to understand which pages and calculators are popular, so we can improve the site. Such analytics measure visits in aggregate, do not build profiles of individual visitors, and are not used by us to identify you. If we ever adopt a different analytics tool, this policy will be updated first.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and other Google advertising services. Please be aware of the following:

• 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 users of this site based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads). Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
• Where required by law (for example, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), ads are served in accordance with Google's EU user consent policy, and personalized advertising is shown only with the consent managed through Google's consent tools.

Advertising cookies are set by Google and its partners, not by Milestone Days' own code, and the information they collect is governed by Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). The dates you enter into our calculators are never shared with advertisers — calculations happen locally on your device, as described above.

Cookies used by this site itself

Milestone Days' own pages do not set tracking cookies and do not use local storage to keep your dates between visits. Third-party cookies may be set by advertising and analytics providers as described in the sections above. You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings; the calculators will continue to work, because they need nothing but the date you type in.

Children's privacy

This site is a general-audience calculator site and is not directed at children under 13. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, we collect none from children. Parents are welcome to use the calculators on behalf of their children — the date entered never leaves your device.

External links

Pages on this site may link to external websites (for example, Google's privacy and advertising pages). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

Changes to this policy

If we change how this site handles information, we will update this page and change the "Last updated" date above. Material changes — for example, adding a feature that stores data — will be clearly described here before or at the time they take effect.
