Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 30, 2026
This is the Cookie Policy for ToolzFree, accessible from toolzfree.com. We believe in being transparent about how we use cookies and browser storage features to make our platform work smoothly for you.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites save to your computer or phone. We and our partners use them to personalize elements, track visitor statistics, and show relevant ads. This page explains what information they collect, how we use it, and how you can disable them if you want.
2. What We Save in Your Browser (Local Storage)
Instead of using traditional cookies to remember who you are, ToolzFree uses your browser's native localStorage. This lets us remember your preferences without needing user accounts or server-side databases:
| Storage Key | What it does | Type |
|---|---|---|
toolz_theme |
Remembers whether you preferred Light Theme or Dark Theme layouts. | Essential Preference |
toolz_favorites |
Keeps a list of the tool IDs you starred so they display in your bookmarks. | Functional / Dashboard |
toolz_usage |
Maintains local click statistics to render your top three "Most Used" tools. | Personalization |
These variables stay 100% on your own device and are never uploaded or sent to our servers.
3. Third-Party Cookies (Analytics & Ads)
To keep this site free, we work with advertising and analytics partners who also save cookies on your device:
- Google Ads: Google uses cookies (like the DART cookie) to serve contextual ads based on the pages you visit on our site and elsewhere on the web. You can manage or disable these cookies in Google's Ad Settings.
- Visitor Analytics: We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to track anonymized statistics like page visit durations and which tools are popular. This helps us decide what tools to build next and fix layout compatibility bugs.
4. Disabling Cookies
You can block cookies entirely by adjusting your browser settings (check your browser's Help menu for instructions). Keep in mind that disabling cookies might break some visual layouts or prevent personalized features from working correctly.
5. More Information
If you need more details or have any questions about how we use cookies, feel free to send an email to support@toolzfree.com.
