This Cookie Policy explains how GoToolz uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and web beacons.
How we use cookies
- Essential and preference storage: we store your theme choice (light or dark mode) in your browser's local storage so the site looks the way you prefer on your next visit.
- Analytics cookies: if enabled, Google Analytics uses cookies to help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which tools are popular, so we can improve it.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense and its partners use cookies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance and, where permitted, personalize ads based on your interests.
Third-party cookies
Cookies set by Google and other advertising partners are governed by their own privacy policies. You can learn how Google uses cookies at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Your choices
- Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized advertising cookies are used, through a Google-certified consent message.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not stop our tools from working, but you may see less relevant ads and your theme preference will not be remembered.

What is stored in your browser
Besides cookies set by advertising and analytics partners, a few tools save information in your browser's local storage so you do not lose your work. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us.
- gt-theme: your choice of light or dark mode.
- gt-notes: notes you write in the Online Notepad.
- gt-html-editor: the last code you wrote in the HTML Code Editor.
- gt-short-links: a list of the last short links you created with the URL Shortener, so you can find them again.
Local storage is not a cookie and is not sent with your requests, but you can clear it in the same way, as described below.
How to delete cookies and stored data
- Chrome and Edge: click the icon to the left of the address bar, open Cookies and site data (or Site settings) and delete the data for gotoolz.com.
- Firefox: click the padlock in the address bar and choose Clear cookies and site data.
- Safari: open Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data, search for gotoolz.com and remove it.
- Phones: the same options are in your browser's settings under Privacy or Site settings.
Deleting site data also removes saved notes and code, so download anything you want to keep first. Private or incognito windows delete everything automatically when you close them.
