With your consent, we may set cookies for: Analytics purposes (Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site; Advertising purposes (Google AdSense) to display relevant advertisements. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the "Manage Cookies" option in our website footer.
Analytics
With your explicit consent, we use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data. This helps us understand which tools are most popular and how to improve our service. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, general geographic location (country/city level), browser and device type, and referring websites. You can opt out at any time by updating your cookie preferences.
Advertising
With your consent, we display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free availability of our tools. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com).
