Apart from the consent cookie above, the Site sets no cookie of its own. The theme you choose with the light and dark toggle is kept in browser local storage, not a cookie (section 4).

Note: in addition to cookies, some calculators use browser local storage to keep your inputs and preferences on your device, and the theme toggle uses it to remember light or dark mode. This data never leaves your device; clearing your browser's site data removes it.
