Cookie Policy

What we store

UtilityToolsOnline uses the cookie named utilitytoolsonline-cookie-consent to remember your cookie choice. That value can be set to acknowledged, cancelled, or undecided depending on the selection you make in the consent popup.

The site also uses localStorage for theme preference. That is browser storage, not a cookie, but it serves a similar purpose by remembering how the site should look when you return.

What we use cookies for

We use cookies or similar storage to remember your theme choice, store cookie consent decisions, and keep the site working in a predictable way across visits.

Optional services such as analytics or advertising may also use their own cookies or similar technologies when they are enabled.

Essential storage

Essential storage helps the site remember your selected theme and whether you have already made a cookie choice. These settings are used so the site can behave consistently without asking you again on every page load.

If you clear your browser data, the site may forget your consent choice and show the cookie popup again.

Analytics and advertising

We may use Umami for analytics and Google AdSense for advertising. Analytics helps us understand how the site is used, while AdSense helps support the site when advertising is enabled.

When optional services are not allowed, the site should still work normally for browsing tools and reading content.

The consent popup describes advertising as optional because it is controlled separately from essential site functionality.

Managing your choices

You can use the cookie consent popup to acknowledge, opt out of optional advertising, or cancel the notice to minimize it. If you change your mind, you can reopen the popup from the cookie icon in the corner of the page.

Acknowledge allows the site to load the AdSense script. Opt out disables optional advertising, while cancel only minimizes the notice for the current visit.

Cookie retention

The consent cookie is set to last for about one year unless you clear it sooner. Theme settings and other browser storage remain under your browser settings and any cleanup you do locally.

Third-party cookies

When optional services are enabled, third parties such as Google AdSense may place cookies or similar technologies in your browser according to their own policies.

Umami is used for analytics, but the site currently treats it as part of the normal analytics setup rather than a separate cookie control in the popup.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the site changes or if we add, remove, or reconfigure cookie-related services. The version on this page is the current one.
