Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit My Pocket Tools. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and understanding how you use our service. Since we don't require accounts or login, cookies are limited to essential functions, analytics, and advertising.

We use cookies to understand how you interact with our service, remember your preferences (like language and theme), and improve your overall experience. Cookies also help us analyze which tools are most popular and how we can improve our service. We do NOT use cookies for user authentication since our service requires no login.

My Pocket Tools uses different types of cookies for various purposes:

• Necessary Cookies: Essential for the website to function properly (cannot be disabled)
• Preference Cookies: Remember your language and theme settings
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand usage patterns (Google Analytics)
• Advertising Cookies: Display relevant advertisements (Google AdSense)

These cookies are essential for our service to work properly. Without these cookies, basic features will not function. These cookies:

• Enable core functionality such as security and accessibility
• Store your cookie consent preferences
• Ensure the website loads correctly and securely

These cookies do NOT store any personal information and are required for the service to work.

These cookies remember your choices to provide a personalized experience:

• Language preference (English or Portuguese)
• Theme preference (light or dark mode)
• Tool-specific settings you've customized

You can clear these cookies at any time through your browser settings, but you'll need to set your preferences again.

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our service:

• Which tools are used most frequently
• How long visitors spend on different pages
• Browser type, device type, and general location (country/region)

This data is completely anonymous and cannot be used to identify individual users. It helps us understand which tools are most valuable and where to focus improvements.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements and keep our tools free. These cookies are used to:

• Display relevant advertisements based on your interests
• Limit the number of times you see the same advertisement
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns

You can control ad personalization through Google's Ad Settings or opt-out of personalized ads entirely.

You have several options to control or limit cookies:

• Cookie Banner: Use our cookie banner on first visit to accept, reject, or customize preferences
• Browser Settings: Configure your browser to block or delete cookies
• Google Ad Settings: Manage advertising cookies through Google's privacy settings
• Third-Party Opt-Out: Use industry opt-out programs to block advertising cookies

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies:

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them
• Most of our cookies expire after 30 days to 1 year
• Advertising cookies may last longer (up to 2 years)

If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that:

• The website will still function, but your preferences won't be saved
• You'll need to select your language and theme every time you visit
• Analytics cookies won't track your usage (which is fine with us!)
• You may see less relevant advertisements

In addition to our own cookies, we use third-party cookies from:

• Google Analytics - for anonymous usage statistics
• Google AdSense - for displaying advertisements
• Vercel - for web hosting and performance monitoring

These third-party services have their own privacy policies and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

Since My Pocket Tools does not require accounts or login, we do NOT use cookies for:

• User authentication or session management
• Storing personal information or credentials
• Tracking individual user profiles

Your privacy is protected by design - we simply don't collect or store personal data.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by:

• Posting the new Cookie Policy on this page with an updated date
• Displaying a notice on our website

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
