Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it.

How we use cookies

Thingy Tools uses the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies

These are required for basic site functionality. For example, we store your light/dark theme preference so it persists between visits.

Local storage (favorites)

We store a list of your saved tool identifiers in localStorage under the key thingy_favourites. This is not a cookie — it is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers. You can clear it by clearing your browser's site data for thingytools.com.

Local storage (tool history)

We store your recent tool inputs and results in localStorage under the key thingy_history. This is not a cookie — it is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers. You can clear it from within any tool or by clearing your browser's site data for thingytools.com.

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. These cookies collect anonymous data such as pages visited, session duration, and traffic sources. This helps us improve our tools and overall user experience.

Advertising cookies

Google AdSense may place cookies on your device to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized ads through Google's Ad Settings.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded in our pages. We do not control these cookies. The main third-party providers are:

• Google Analytics — usage statistics (cookies: _ga, _gid).
• Google AdSense — ad personalization and performance tracking.

AI-powered tools send your inputs to OpenAI's API at the time of submission. This is not a cookie, but a direct API call. OpenAI does not set cookies on your device through our Site.

Your consent

When you first visit Thingy Tools, a banner asks for your consent to analytics and advertising cookies. You can accept or decline at that point. To withdraw consent later, clear your browser's site data for thingytools.com — the banner will reappear on your next visit and you can make a new choice.

Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some features of the Site. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored.
• Delete individual or all cookies.
• Block cookies from specific or all sites.
