Privacy & cookies

Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. The quantities, units, prices and species you enter are never transmitted to a server and are not stored once you leave the page — there is no account, no database, and nothing to breach.

Data controller

The data controller for this site is GST; TIN: 7772602932; contact address 35/1 Maratonska St., 05-600 Grojec, Poland; email for personal-data matters [email protected].

Hosting provider

This site is hosted on servers operated by SEOHOST Sp. z o.o., 30 Obornicka St., 60-689 Poznan, Poland, TIN: 9721323212. The hosting provider processes data as a data processor acting on the data controller's instructions.

What is collected

Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, page requested) are kept temporarily by our hosting provider for security and abuse prevention. Beyond that, this site uses Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager), Google AdSense, and Google Search Console. These services may collect aggregated, non-identifying data such as pages viewed, approximate region, device and browser type, and referring site, plus, for advertising, a cookie identifier used to serve and measure ads. None of this is linked to anything you type into a calculator — calculator inputs never leave your browser.

Cookie categories

The cookie banner on every page lets you accept or decline three categories: Necessary (always on — required for the banner itself and basic site function), Analytics (Google Analytics 4, only loaded with your consent), and Advertising (Google AdSense, only loaded with your consent). Nothing in the Analytics or Advertising categories runs until you consent, and you can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

Third-party advertising

Where you have accepted the Advertising category, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can review or opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, and read Google's own rules for partner sites in its advertising technologies policy.

Data retention

We do not sell personal information. Any aggregated analytics data collected is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes above and is subject to the retention rules of the underlying Google product.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes the services it uses. The "Updated" date in the header reflects the last revision.

California privacy notice

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) gives you rights over personal information collected about you. This site does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising in the sense regulated by the CCPA, and does not knowingly collect personal information beyond the aggregated, non-identifying analytics and advertising data described above.

You may still exercise a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" preference at any time by declining the Advertising cookie category in the cookie banner, or by using the opt-out tools linked in the Privacy section above. Residents of other US states with similar privacy laws may exercise equivalent rights the same way. To make a data request, contact us using the details in the Contact section below.

Disclaimer

General accuracy. This site is provided for general reference and educational purposes only. All calculators, conversion figures, species heat values, and comparisons are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Despite reasonable effort to verify the figures used, errors may still exist.

Not a substitute for an official measurement. Cordwood Calculator is an independent reference, not a legal or professional authority on firewood measurement or sales. Unit conversions assume standard dimensions (a 4 ft by 8 ft face) and the cut lengths stated on each page; actual deliveries vary by seller and by how a load was stacked. Species heat values (BTU per cord) are averages drawn from published forestry and extension-service tables for wood seasoned to roughly 20 percent moisture. Nothing on this site replaces a reading from a certified scale, a calibrated moisture meter, or an inspection by your state's weights-and-measures or agriculture office.

Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cordwood Calculator and its operators disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, dispute, or decision — financial or otherwise — arising from reliance on this site's calculators, comparisons, or written content. Before any purchase, delivery acceptance, dispute, or other commercial decision, you are responsible for independently verifying figures against official state sources and for redoing the calculation yourself. We are not affiliated with any firewood seller, state agency, or weights-and-measures office. For a sale dispute, contact your state's weights-and-measures or agriculture office directly.

Terms of use

Acceptance. By using this site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

No warranty. The site and its content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" with no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation. See the Disclaimer section above for the full limitation of liability, which is incorporated into these terms.

Permitted use. You may use the calculators and read the content for personal, non-commercial reference. You may not scrape, republish, or redistribute the site's content or underlying data tables at scale without permission.

Third-party links. This site links to external government, university-extension, and standards-body sources for verification. We do not control and are not responsible for the content or availability of those external sites.

Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of Poland and, where applicable, European Union law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Changes. We may update these terms from time to time; continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Data sources

Volume figures follow the cubic-foot cord definition used in state weights-and-measures statutes, based on NIST Handbook 130, the model regulation most states adopt for firewood sales. Species BTU-per-cord values are drawn from published wood-energy tables, including the USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory and state extension-service tables such as Penn State Extension. Figures are approximate averages for wood seasoned to roughly 20 percent moisture — always confirm with your own state's office before relying on them in a dispute.
