Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember who you are, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies — like local storage and pixels — work the same way for the purposes of this policy.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for three purposes: keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences (like your cookie consent choice), and — on the free tier only — supporting the third-party advertising that keeps our essential tools free. Paid subscriptions of any tier remove advertising cookies entirely.

Categories of cookies

• Strictly necessary. Required for sign-in, session security, and core site functionality. These cannot be disabled because the site would not work without them.
• Preferences. Remember choices like your cookie consent setting and display preferences.
• Analytics. Help us understand aggregate usage patterns so we can improve the tools. We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not track you across other websites.
• Advertising. Set by our advertising partner, Google, to serve and measure ads on the free tier and to support interest-based advertising where permitted. See the third-party section below.

Third-party advertising: Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads to visitors on our free tier. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Managing your preferences

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) using the cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for ToolKit House and revisiting the site, which will show the banner again. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies directly in their settings — note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent sign-in and other core features from working.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data more broadly.
