Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how ToolVerse uses them to provide a seamless, secure, and personalized experience while you use our 31 PDF tools and AI utilities.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, save user preferences, and provide analytical information to the website owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

ToolVerse uses cookies and local storage mechanisms (HTML5 Web Storage) to manage critical functionalities of the platform. Since our PDF tools operate entirely client-side, local storage is essential for maintaining your workflow without needing to upload files to a server.

3. Types of Cookies & Storage We Use

• Essential Cookies (Firebase Auth): We use secure authentication tokens via Google Firebase to keep you logged in and to protect your account from unauthorized access.
• Mining Logic Storage: Your $TOOL mining balance, mining boost status, and last active session timestamps are saved in your browser's local storage to ensure your mining progress continues seamlessly even if you close the page.
• User Preferences: We store your chosen preferences (like accepting our cookie consent banner or dark mode toggles) locally so you aren't asked repeatedly on every visit.

4. Third-Party Cookies (Google AdSense)

To keep our suite of 31 PDF tools and 17 AI tools 100% free, we display advertisements via Google AdSense. Google and its partners use third-party cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites across the internet.

• These cookies enable Google to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history.
• You may opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

5. Managing Your Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. Please note that if you choose to reject cookies or clear your local storage, you may lose your current $TOOL mining progress and active login session.

6. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
