This Cookie Policy explains how ToolStop uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide reporting information to site owners and advertisers.
2. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for core site features such as remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode) and your recent tools. The site won't work properly without these and they don't track you across other websites.
Analytics cookies
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which tools are popular and where to focus our effort. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data — they do not identify you personally.
Advertising cookies
ToolStop may display ads served by third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to:
- Serve ads based on your prior visits to ToolStop and other websites.
- Measure ad performance (impressions, clicks, conversions).
- Prevent the same ad from being shown to you too often.
Google uses cookies, including the "DART" cookie, to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting:
- Google Ads Settings — opt out of Google personalised ads.
- aboutads.info/choices — opt out of personalised ads from many ad networks (US).
- youronlinechoices.eu — opt out of personalised ads (EU).
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We have no direct control over these cookies; please refer to the third party's own privacy policy for details:
4. How to control cookies
You can control and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings:
Note: blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working as expected.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no universal industry standard for honouring DNT signals, but our analytics are anonymous by design regardless of DNT.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
