This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how My Tool City (https://mytoolcity.com) uses them, and what choices you have. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.
Last updated: April 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners. Cookies cannot harm your device or access other files on it.
In addition to cookies, we and our advertising partners may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage to collect information about your use of our platform.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function correctly. Without them, certain features (such as secure form submission and CSRF protection) would not work. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.
- Session cookie — Maintains your session securely while you navigate the site
- CSRF token — Protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery attacks
b) Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to personalise your experience, such as your preferred currency display or region. They help us provide a more consistent experience across your visits.
c) Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
We partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. These ads help us keep all of our tools completely free for users. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to:
- Serve ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing history across websites
- Limit the number of times you see a specific ad
- Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns
- Prevent fraudulent ad clicks
Google uses the DART cookie to serve ads to users visiting My Tool City based on their prior visits to this and other websites on the internet. The DART cookie is placed by Google in your browser when you visit any website that uses AdSense.
You can opt out of the use of the DART cookie for personalised advertising by visiting: Google Ads Settings.
d) Analytics Cookies
We may use anonymous, aggregated analytics to understand how users interact with our tools — such as which tools are most popular and where users encounter difficulties. This data does not identify individual users and is used solely to improve our platform.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, certain third-party services we rely on may set cookies on your device. These include:
- Google AdSense — Advertising cookies. See Google's advertising privacy practices.
- Google Fonts — Font resources loaded from Google's CDN. See Google Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare CDN — Used to serve the Font Awesome icon library. See Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
We do not control these third-party cookies and they are subject to each provider's own cookie policies.
4. Consent for EEA, UK, and Switzerland Users
If you access My Tool City from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you will be presented with a consent notice on your first visit. This is managed through a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). You can:
- Accept all cookies, including personalised advertising cookies
- Manage your preferences and choose which types of cookies to allow
- Withdraw or update your consent at any time
If you decline personalised ads, you will still see ads on our site — but they will be non-personalised, based on the page content rather than your browsing history.
5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Here is how to manage cookies in major browsers:
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of certain tools on our platform. Essential cookies required for security and form submission cannot be disabled without breaking core site features.

- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out
