Cookie Policy
Understand what cookies are, how FreeUserTools uses them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies and Local Storage are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other devices when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide a better browsing experience.
At FreeUserTools, we use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies/local storage (which remain on your device for a set period) to improve functionality.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and local storage for the following essential purposes:
- Functional & Essential: To remember your site preferences. For example, our Dark Mode toggle uses your browser’s local storage to remember your chosen theme so the website loads correctly on your next visit.
- Security & Performance: Our security partner (Cloudflare) uses cookies to identify malicious traffic, prevent DDoS attacks, and route you to the fastest server in your country.
3. Analytics & Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics and deliver advertisements.
- Analytics: Tools like Google Analytics use cookies to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our site, helping us improve our tools.
- Advertising: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your internet browsing history.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality (like saving your Dark Mode preference) may be restricted.
