Privacy Policy

Welcome to Toolse.org (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle information when you visit our website. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and your rights in relation to that data.

Toolse.org is a free online toolkit providing browser-based utilities. We do not require user registration, and our tools are designed to run entirely in your browser without sending your data to our servers.

We collect minimal data necessary to operate and improve our website. The types of information we may collect include:

Toolse.org uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is an advertising program operated by Google LLC. By displaying ads on our site, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing activity and interests.

How Google AdSense Works

Google AdSense uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to you. Google’s advertising partners may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

• Google may use the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads across websites you visit.

Non-Personalized Ads

Visitors from regions subject to GDPR or CCPA may see non-personalized ads if they have not consented to personalized advertising. Non-personalized ads are still based on general targeting (e.g., page context) but do not use behavioral data.
