This page explains the cookies and similar storage ToolHare uses, and how to change your choice. We have deliberately kept this short, because we use very little.
The short version
- We use no cookies of our own.
- Our analytics are cookieless — they never set a cookie or identify you.
- Advertising cookies are set only after you make a choice in Google's consent prompt (the banner you see on your first visit), and are set by Google, not us.
- The tools work fully whether you accept or reject advertising cookies.
What we store, and why
| Name / type | Purpose | Needs consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Cookieless analytics | Counts visits and popular tools without cookies or personal data. | No — sets no cookie |
| "Recently used tools" (local storage) | Quick links back to tools you've used, kept on your device. Never leaves your browser. | No — strictly necessary site preference |
| Google advertising cookies | Used by Google to show and measure adverts. Governed by Google's consent prompt. | Yes — via Google's consent prompt |
How to change your choice
Advertising consent on ToolHare is handled by Google's consent prompt. To change your choice at any time, use the Privacy options / Manage options link that Google surfaces alongside its adverts — it opens the same prompt you saw on your first visit and lets you accept, reject, or fine-tune advertising cookies. Clearing ToolHare's site data in your browser settings also resets everything, and the prompt will reappear on your next visit.
