Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

1. Introduction

ToolVines ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local browser storage (`localStorage` and `sessionStorage`), and other caching mechanisms to support technical utility workflows, remember preferences, and verify performance metrics. This policy details how and why we utilize these technologies.

2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies: Small text files placed on your device by your web browser. They help websites identify sessions, load preferences, and fetch configuration metadata.

Local Browser Storage: Modern HTML5 caching features (`localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) that store data inside your browser sandboxed environment. This allows ToolVines to store heavier datasets (like currency tables, indicators, and preferences) without making repetitive network calls, improving speed and saving battery life.

3. Types of Cookies and Storage We Use

Essential Technical Storage (Strictly Necessary): Used to support primary tool execution. For example, when you use the Age Calculator, local settings are stored in memory to retain parameters and calculation configurations.

API Caching & Rate Limit Protection: We store exchange rates, world clock time offsets, and rocket launch calendars in `localStorage` temporarily. This protects public APIs from being throttled and ensures tools load instantly.

Analytics & Performance Cookies: Used to understand site usability via Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. These cookies are loaded automatically to help us optimize UI clicks and identify broken tool scripts.

4. How to Control Cookies and Local Cache

You can block or delete cookies and clear local storage values directly through your browser configuration:

Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.

⚠️ Note: If you choose to completely block localStorage or essential session tokens, some productivity calculators and converter history logs may fail to function correctly.
