Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies help websites remember your preferences and improve your overall browsing experience.

2. How Toolza Uses Cookies

Toolza.in uses a minimal set of cookies to ensure the website functions correctly and to improve your user experience. Specifically, we use:

• Preference Cookies (localStorage): We store your selected theme preference (dark mode or light mode) in your browser's localStorage. This is not a traditional cookie but a similar browser storage technology that keeps your visual preference persistent between visits.
• Analytics Cookies: We may use anonymized analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns (such as which tools are most popular). This data is never linked to personally identifiable information.
• Advertising Cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function. They include session management and security cookies. You cannot opt out of these.
• Functional Cookies: These remember your preferences (like theme selection) to provide a personalized experience.
• Advertising Cookies (Third-Party): Served by Google AdSense. These may track your browsing activity across websites to serve you relevant ads.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Toolza.in uses Google AdSense to monetize the website through relevant advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to websites. You can learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising by visiting Google's Privacy & Terms.

5. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Below are step-by-step instructions for managing cookies in major browsers:

• Google Chrome: Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Navigate to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. You can choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear browsing data to remove existing cookies.
• Mozilla Firefox: Click the three-line menu in the top-right corner. Navigate to Settings, then Privacy & Security. Under the Cookies and Site Data section, you can set cookie preferences, block third-party cookies, or use the "Clear Data" option to remove stored cookies.
• Safari: Open Safari Preferences from the menu bar. Click the Privacy tab, then select "Manage Website Data" to view and remove individual site cookies, or enable "Prevent cross-site tracking" to limit third-party cookie access.
• Microsoft Edge: Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Navigate to Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Cookies and site data. Choose between blocking all cookies, allowing all cookies, or blocking only third-party cookies.
• Opera: Click the Settings gear icon. Navigate to Advanced, then Privacy and Security, then Site Settings, then Cookies and site data. Select your preferred cookie handling option.

To opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. To opt out of personalized advertising from Google, visit Google's Ad Settings.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are free to disable cookies, doing so may affect your experience on Toolza.in in the following ways:

• Theme Preference Lost: Your dark mode or light mode selection is stored using localStorage. Disabling browser storage will reset your visual preference on every visit, requiring you to reselect your theme each time.
• Ad Relevance Decreased: Without advertising cookies, you may see generic or repetitive advertisements that are less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not remove ads — it reduces their relevance.
• Analytics Accuracy Reduced: Aggregate analytics data helps us understand which tools are most used and where to invest development resources. Disabling analytics cookies reduces our ability to improve the website for all users.
• Core Functionality Unaffected: The essential processing capabilities of our tools (PDF merging, image conversion, text processing, etc.) do not require cookies to function. All file processing happens either in your browser or on our servers regardless of cookie settings.

We respect your right to choose. If you prefer not to allow cookies, you can still use all of Toolza's tools effectively. The only differences will be cosmetic and related to ad targeting.
