ToolsNow

Privacy & Cookies

ToolsNow processes tool inputs in your browser. Page loading and analytics make separate network requests. Google Analytics is optional, Cloudflare Web Analytics uses no cookies, and advertising is off.

Last updated 1 October 2026.

Your inputs stay on your device

Tool calculations and file processing run as JavaScript in your browser. Files you open, text you paste and numbers you enter are not uploaded to ToolsNow for processing.

Loading a page still makes network requests. Some tools download processing libraries, fonts or models before they can work. Pages also use cookie-free analytics and, if you allow it, Google Analytics. These requests are separate from processing your files. Advertising is off.

Exchange-rate requests

The currency converter requests a reference-rate table from ExchangeRate-API (exchangerate-api.com). That service receives technical request information, including your IP address. The conversion is calculated in your browser after the rates arrive.

The amount you enter is not included in the rate request. Rates are cached locally for up to 12 hours when browser storage is available, which can avoid another request on a return visit.

What is stored in your browser

Your light/dark theme choice is stored locally under “toolsnow-theme”. Cached exchange-rate tables use keys beginning “toolsnow-rates”. Clearing site storage removes these saved preferences and rates.

Your Google Analytics choice and the date you made it are stored locally under “toolsnow-analytics-consent” for up to 180 days. Both allowing and declining are remembered. Clearing site storage removes the choice, and you will be asked again.

ToolsNow does not save tool inputs in browser storage. Reloading or closing the page normally clears the working state; browser form restoration may retain fields. Files you download remain on your device until you delete them.

Analytics

Cloudflare Web Analytics measures page visits and performance without cookies. Cloudflare describes this service as not using visitor fingerprinting or cross-site tracking. It is separate from the optional Google Analytics choice.

Google Analytics 4 loads only after you choose “Allow analytics”, or when a remembered, unexpired choice already allows it. It can set _ga cookies and a random client identifier to recognise return visits. Its reports can include page views, referrers, approximate location and browser or device information.

The site uses basic Consent Mode: before you opt in, it does not load the Google Analytics script or send Google’s cookieless measurement pings. “No thanks” keeps that tag off.

Advertising consent remains denied even if you allow analytics. Google Signals and ad personalisation signals are disabled in the site’s tag settings. The page and referrer addresses supplied by the site omit query strings and URL fragments.

ToolsNow does not add your files, filenames, pasted text, calculation inputs or results to analytics events. Visiting a tool page can still appear in page-level analytics.

You can change your choice using “Privacy choices” in the footer. Turning analytics off disables further collection from this tag and clears accessible _ga cookies for this site. You can also use Google’s browser add-on or manage cookies in your browser settings.

Advertising is off

Advertising is currently disabled on ToolsNow. The site does not load AdSense scripts, display advertising slots or request ads. Allowing Google Analytics does not enable advertising.

If advertising is introduced, its data use and choices will need a separate explanation. Your analytics choice is not permission for advertising.

Who receives data, and where

Cloudflare hosts this site and provides cookie-free analytics; as the host, it processes technical request data such as IP address. Google provides optional Google Analytics only after you allow it. ExchangeRate-API provides exchange rates for visitors who open the currency converter. Advertising is disabled.

These providers operate globally, so requests may be processed outside your country, including in the United States. ToolsNow does not sell personal information or upload tool inputs to these services.

If you email the maintainer, ToolsNow receives your email address and the information you include to handle your request. Use a made-up example rather than sending a confidential document. There are no ToolsNow user accounts.

Provider policies below explain their handling of hosting and analytics data. If you follow an external link, such as a decoded QR destination or a photo’s map link, that website receives your request and any information in the link. A map link can include the photo’s coordinates.

Your choices and rights

You can clear locally stored preferences and cached rates through your browser settings. Use “Privacy choices” for optional Google Analytics. To ask about information you have sent directly to ToolsNow, such as a support email, contact us at [email protected].

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, object to its use or withdraw consent. Contact ToolsNow with questions about processing associated with this site; we will handle information we control and help identify the appropriate provider where needed. You can also contact your local data-protection authority.
