Cookie Policy

Detailed explanation of how ToolRanker utilizes cookies, browser local storage, and third-party advertising tracking technologies.

Effective Date: August 22, 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny data files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by web developers to make websites function efficiently, remember user preferences (such as Dark Theme toggle state), and deliver tailored advertisements.

1. Categories of Cookies Used on ToolRanker

We use both first-party cookies (set directly by ToolRanker) and third-party cookies (set by advertising partners like Google AdSense):

A. Essential & Preference Cookies (First-Party)

These technical cookies are necessary to enable standard site features:

Theme Toggle Preference: Remembers whether you selected Light Mode or Dark Mode (`data-theme`) so your choice persists across tool pages.
Session Management: Retains basic security session identifiers during administrative actions.

B. Advertising & Targeting Cookies (Third-Party)

To fund our free tool ecosystem, we utilize Google AdSense to serve advertisements:

Google DoubleClick DART Cookie: Used by Google to serve ads based on your prior visits to ToolRanker and other websites on the Internet.
Frequency Capping: Ensures you do not see the exact same advertisement repeatedly.
Fraud Prevention: Helps detect fraudulent ad clicks and bot traffic.

2. HTML5 Local Storage & Session Storage

In addition to traditional cookies, our client-side tools make use of modern HTML5 Local Storage (`localStorage`). This is used strictly inside your web browser to store temporary input settings (such as password length selection or custom case settings) so your workflow is smooth. No personal data from Local Storage is transmitted to our servers.

3. How to Control & Disable Cookies

You have the full right to accept, reject, or customize cookie preferences at any time through your web browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact certain UI elements like theme persistence.

Instructions for controlling cookies in popular web browsers:

Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data.
