Legal Information
Cookie Policy
Effective Date: November 11, 2026 • ToolCix (toolcix.com)
Discover how ToolCix uses browser localStorage and minimal cookies to remember your preferences, keep the platform working smoothly, and optionally measure aggregate site usage.
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Alongside standard cookies, modern web apps also use browser localStorage—a lightweight, device-local storage area kept strictly on your browser without being transmitted with every network request.
ToolCix minimizes tracking by relying primarily on browser localStorage for essential interface preferences rather than intrusive tracking cookies.
2. Cookies & Storage We Use
When you first visit toolcix.com, our consent banner lets you select either "Essential Only" or "Accept All". Here is what each category covers:
- Essential Local Storage (Always Active). Required for core UI features on your device, including your light/dark theme selection (
theme), bookmarked favorite tool slugs (toolcix_favorites_v1), recently visited tools (toolcix_recent_v1), and your cookie banner selection (toolcix_cookie_consent_v1). These values remain strictly in your browser. - Analytics (Optional). When Google Analytics is enabled for the site, anonymized usage metrics (configured with IP anonymization) help us understand which utilities are most useful and spot technical errors so we can improve reliability and performance.
3. Third-Party Cookies
ToolCix does not run third-party advertising networks or social login trackers. When optional analytics (such as Google Analytics) are enabled, those providers may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies. For more details on data practices and your rights, see our Privacy Policy and GDPR & CCPA Compliance Notice.
4. Managing Your Preferences
You can clear cookies, clear site localStorage, or block third-party cookies anytime through your browser privacy settings. Disabling optional cookies or clearing localStorage will never affect your ability to run ToolCix's client-side utilities—it simply resets local preferences such as your theme, favorite tools, and recent history.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our storage practices, analytics configuration, or legal requirements evolve. Check back here for the latest Effective Date and version.
