Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SecuTools.io uses cookies and client-side storage technologies (such as localStorage). We are committed to transparency and data minimization.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you load websites. Local storage (localStorage) is a standard browser mechanism that lets web applications store client-side preferences without sending them across the network on every HTTP request.
2. Categories of Storage We Use
Strictly Necessary Storage (Always Active)
Essential for the site to function properly and remember your local interface preferences (such as theme and tool favorites). These do not collect personal identifiers.
| Storage Key | Type | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| site_theme | localStorage | Stores your chosen light or dark theme | Persistent |
| secu_favs_v1 | localStorage | Stores your pinned/bookmarked tools locally | Persistent |
| secu_recent_v1 | localStorage | Stores recently accessed tools locally for quick navigation | Persistent |
| secutools_cookie_consent_v1 | localStorage | Records your cookie & analytics preferences | 1 Year |
Performance & Telemetry (Opt-In / Configurable)
We use aggregated, privacy-preserving performance telemetry (Vercel Speed Insights & Analytics) to diagnose page errors and loading performance. No personal profiling or behavioral ad tracking is conducted.
| Provider | Type | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights | First-party telemetry | Measures aggregated Core Web Vitals and load performance | Session / Anonymous |
3. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
You can modify your browser settings to decline or delete cookies and clear local storage anytime. Note that clearing local storage will reset your saved theme and favorites.
