Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They help with basic operations (like remembering a setting) and can also be used to analyze website usage. We also use similar technologies (like localStorage) to store small pieces of data on your device for performance and privacy-friendly functionality.

How We Use Cookies

We group cookies and similar tech into the categories below:

Strictly Necessary — Required for the site and tools to function (e.g., session or rate-limiting tokens, one-time UI dismissals).
Preferences — Remember choices such as last used tool settings, theme, or UI layout.
Performance — Help us understand aggregate usage, errors, and performance so we can improve features.
Functional — Enable helpful enhancements (e.g., remembering recent files where the browser permits).

Local Storage & Similar Technologies

Many HelloTools features run entirely in your browser (e.g., image conversion settings, temporary UI state). We primarily rely on localStorage or in-memory state for these features so your data doesn’t leave your device.

Third-Party Services

Some tools may use trusted third-party services (for example, CDNs to deliver static assets or optional conversion fallbacks). Where used, they may set their own cookies to operate correctly. We select providers carefully and aim to minimize identifiers wherever possible.

Your Choices

Browser Controls: You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Refer to your browser’s help pages for instructions.
Private/Incognito Mode: Most browsers allow sessions that discard storage on close.
Opt-Out of Non-Essential Cookies: Where a per-category choice is presented on HelloTools, non-essential categories will only be used if you opt in.

Retention

Cookie and storage lifetimes vary by category and purpose. Necessary items generally persist only as long as needed for the service to function. Preference items can persist longer so that we can remember your choices across visits.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our services and practices. Material updates will be noted on this page.
