Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This policy explains how toolsift.io uses cookies and similar local storage technologies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. We also use the browser's localStorage API, which works similarly but stores data only on your device and never sends it to our servers.
Cookies we use
We use only strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the site to function properly and cannot be disabled.
| Name | Purpose | Storage | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
theme | Remembers your light or dark theme preference | localStorage (device only) | Until cleared by you |
cookieConsent | Remembers that you have acknowledged this notice | localStorage (device only) | Until cleared by you |
Advertising and tracking cookies
We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies that collect personal data.
Third-party cookies
When you click an outbound affiliate link, the destination website may set its own cookies. Those cookies are governed by that site's own privacy policy, not ours.
How to control cookies
You can clear localStorage and cookies at any time through your browser's settings (usually under Privacy & Security → Clear browsing data). Note that clearing them will reset your theme preference.
Future changes
If we introduce analytics or advertising features in the future, we will update this policy and add a consent mechanism before setting any non-essential cookies.
