Cookie policy
Which cookies USTOOLS ONLINE uses, why advertising partners may set their own, and how you can control them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags. They let a site remember preferences and let advertising partners measure and personalise ads.
Cookies we set ourselves
USTOOLS ONLINE sets a minimal set of first-party items that are strictly necessary or purely functional:
- Theme preference — remembers your light or dark mode choice (local storage, no expiry until cleared).
- Tool session state — kept in memory or session storage while a tool is open, cleared when you close the tab.
Advertising and analytics cookies
This site may display advertising supplied by Google, including Google AdSense, and may use analytics to understand aggregate usage. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, and you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
- Google AdSense / DoubleClick — ad delivery, frequency capping, and personalisation where permitted.
- Analytics — aggregate page and tool usage counts; no document contents are ever collected.
Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
Where required by law, a consent notice is shown before non-essential cookies are set, and you can accept, reject or change your choice at any time. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not stop you from using any tool on the site — you may still see ads, but they will be non-personalised.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies from its privacy settings. Blocking all cookies may reset your theme preference on each visit but will not break the tools themselves.
Changes
If we add or remove an advertising or analytics partner, this page is updated to reflect it. Please check back occasionally.
