This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. It explains what cookies are, which ones the Site uses, and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner and third parties. “Similar technologies” include local storage, pixels, and web beacons, which we treat the same way as cookies in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
Our Tools are built to run in your browser, and many pages work without any non-essential cookies at all. We use cookies and similar technologies in the following categories:
Strictly necessary
Required for the Site to function, for example to keep you signed in to an optional account, to keep the Site secure, and to remember your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
Preferences
Used to remember choices you make, such as light or dark mode or a tool setting. These are often stored in your browser’s local storage rather than as traditional cookies.
Analytics
Help us understand how the Site is used, in aggregate, so we can improve it. Where possible we use privacy-respecting analytics that avoid identifying individual users.
Advertising
We use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to keep the Site free. Advertising partners may set cookies to show and measure ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. See our Privacy Policy for the full advertising disclosure and opt-out links.
3. Cookies we and our partners may use
| Provider | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| My Tool Studio | Essential functions, security, and remembering your preferences and cookie consent. | First-party |
| Google AdSense / Google | Serving and measuring ads, including personalized ads based on prior visits. | Third-party |
| Analytics provider | Aggregate, non-identifying usage measurement. | First/Third-party |
The exact cookies set can vary as our advertising and analytics partners update their services. For the current list of cookies that Google may set, see Google’s cookie information and how Google uses cookies in advertising.
4. Your choices and consent
Where required by law, including for users in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, such as advertising and analytics cookies, through a consent banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using that banner.
- Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
- Personalized ads. Opt out via Google’s Ads Settings.
- Third-party vendors. Opt out via www.aboutads.info/choices (US) or www.youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or applicable law change. The “Last updated” date above shows when it was last revised.
