This Cookie Policy explains how Everyday Tools uses cookies, web beacons, and local browser storage technologies to deliver our fast, client-side web utilities, maintain portal security, and support our free service through non-intrusive advertising.
1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer or mobile device by a web server when you visit a website. Modern web standards also provide HTML5 Web Storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), which allows websites to store small configuration settings directly within your browser without sending tokens back to the web server with every HTTP request.
2. How Everyday Tools Uses Cookies & Storage
Everyday Tools follows a policy of data minimization. We classify cookies into three distinct categories:
Category A: Strictly Necessary / Functional Cookies (First-Party)

Third-party vendors and ad networks use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet:
