Cookie & Local Storage Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

1. What are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies and local storage are small text files and key-value stores placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow websites to remember state, preferences, and authentication tokens.

2. How ToolsHub Uses Local Storage

ToolsHub does not use invasive tracking cookies, third-party user trackers, or cross-site monitoring scripts. We rely solely on native browser localStorage for essential user experience functions:

Storage Key	Purpose	Duration
toolnest_theme	Remembers whether you selected Dark or Light theme.	Persistent until cleared
toolnest_cookie_consent	Stores your acknowledgment of our privacy policy notice so the banner does not re-appear.	Persistent until cleared

3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Future Roadmap)

Should advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense) be integrated into ToolsHub in the future, those providers may utilize cookies to deliver ads relevant to user interests. You can configure or disable advertising cookies at any time via your browser settings or directly via the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice page.

4. Managing and Clearing Cookies

You have full control over stored items in your browser. To clear ToolsHub preferences, open your browser settings, navigate to "Privacy & Security", select "Site Data" or "Cookies", and clear data associated with toolshub.numbriv.com.
