Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experiences, and provide information to website owners. Cookies typically contain a small amount of data, such as a unique identifier, preferences, or session details. When you return to a website, your browser sends the cookie back so the site can recognize your device or remember your settings.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services that the website uses (“third-party cookies”). Cookies may be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a defined period of time).
WTools uses cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and advertising. The tools on WTools run client-side in your browser and do not transmit the content you process to our servers. Cookies used on the Website are not used to store the text or data you enter into WTools tools.
Essential cookies are required for the Website to function properly. These cookies enable core functionality, such as page navigation, security protections, and session continuity. Without essential cookies, parts of the Website may not function correctly.
Examples of essential cookie purposes include remembering a user’s session state or maintaining basic preferences related to site operation. These cookies do not track you for advertising and are not used to profile users.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website. These cookies collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general device or browser details. We use analytics data to improve performance, fix usability issues, and understand which tools are most helpful to users.
We may use services such as Google Analytics. Analytics cookies do not contain the content you process with WTools tools. The analytics data we receive is aggregated and used to evaluate trends rather than identify individual users.
When advertising is enabled on WTools, Google AdSense and related Google advertising technologies may use advertising cookies or similar identifiers to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit the number of times you see the same ad, and support personalization where legally permitted. These cookies are not intentionally loaded for visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland until advertising consent is granted.
Advertising cookies are set by third-party vendors and are governed by their own privacy policies. WTools does not control these cookies or how third-party vendors use the data collected through them.
WTools uses a consent banner and settings panel that let you:
We store your consent state in browser storage and in a first-party cookie so your choice is respected across sessions. We also store a short region cookie, based on IP-derived country headers supplied by our hosting or CDN layer, to determine whether a stricter consent flow is required.
| Name / Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wt_cookie_consent | WTools | Stores whether analytics and advertising were accepted, rejected, or customized. | Up to 12 months |
wt_geo_region, wt_geo_country | WTools | Stores a short region marker used to decide whether to require consent before loading non-essential Google services. | Up to 12 hours |
| Local storage entry for consent | WTools | Keeps your preference available between visits in the same browser. | Until changed or cleared |
| Google Analytics / Tag Manager cookies or identifiers | Used only when analytics consent is granted to measure traffic and usage patterns. | Varies by Google product and browser policy | |
| Google AdSense / advertising cookies | Used only when advertising consent is granted and ads are enabled, for ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, and personalization where allowed. | Varies by Google product and browser policy |
WTools may use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC. If Google AdSense is enabled, it may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website or other websites. These cookies may help Google and its partners deliver ads, measure effectiveness, and control ad frequency.
Google's advertising cookies may include the DoubleClick cookie, which may enable Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to WTools and other websites on the internet. These cookies do not provide WTools access to your personal information; they are managed by Google according to its policies.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or set preferences for specific websites. Please note that disabling cookies may impact how the Website functions and may reduce your ability to use certain features.
You can also reopen the WTools consent panel at any time by selecting “Cookie Settings” in the footer.
Common browser settings include:
If you choose to restrict cookies, some analytics features or future ad display functionality may be limited. Essential cookies may still be required to maintain basic functionality and security.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings:

You can also opt out of some third-party advertising cookies by visiting:
https://www.aboutads.info/choices/
These tools allow you to manage ad personalization preferences and opt out of certain interest-based advertising across participating services.
In addition to analytics providers, the Website may use other third-party services to support functionality or performance. If Google AdSense or similar advertising services are enabled in the future, those services may also set cookies or use similar technologies. WTools does not control third-party cookies and cannot guarantee their behavior. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services for more information.
