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 at all unless you accept them.
- Our analytics are cookieless — they never set a cookie or identify you.
- Advertising cookies are set only after you choose Accept, and are set by Google, not us.
- The tools work fully whether you accept or reject.
What we store, and why
| Name / type | Purpose | Needs consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Consent choice (local storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected, so we don't ask again. | No — strictly necessary |
| 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. | Yes |
| Google advertising cookies | Used by Google to show and measure adverts. | Yes |
How to change your choice
You can change your mind at any time. Use the consent controls in the banner, or clear ToolHare's site data in your browser settings to reset everything — the banner will then ask again on your next visit. Rejecting (or clearing) advertising consent stops advertising cookies being set; the tools continue to work exactly as before.
