Cookie Policy

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.

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.

We take your privacy seriously. FreeUserTools provides various financial, tax, and utility calculators. We do not use cookies to track, save, or store any sensitive data you input into our calculators.

All calculations (such as salary figures, tax brackets, or personal measurements) are processed in real-time within your browser and are immediately discarded once you close or refresh the page.

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 (Google AdSense): Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website. Depending on your region (e.g., EU or California), you may see a consent banner powered by Google allowing you to accept or manage these advertising cookies.

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.
