Cookie Policy

Effective date: September 28, 2026

Last updated: September 28, 2026

In short

  • We use no advertising cookies. We do not show ads at this time.
  • Apart from a strictly necessary security cookie that Cloudflare may set, the only cookies set for visitors are Google Analytics cookies, and only after you allow analytics.
  • Everything else is local storage in your browser: your cookie choice, and the work that some tools remember for you. Local storage is never sent to us.

1. Cookies and local storage

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Your browser sends it back to that website with later requests, which lets a service recognize a returning browser.

Local storage is a separate storage area in your browser. Data kept there stays on your device and is not sent with web requests. Only pages on clicksolvetools.com can read the local storage for this site.

3. What tools save on your device

These tools save your work in local storage so it is still there when you come back. Nothing here is sent to us, and each entry stays until you clear it (in the tool, where it offers a clear button, or by clearing this site's data in your browser). Anyone using the same browser on the same device can see it.

  • cst-notepad-content Online Notepad The text of your note
  • cst-notepad-dark Online Notepad Whether you switched the writing area to dark
  • todo_v1 To-Do List Your tasks and which are done

4. How Google Analytics cookies work here

  • Every page starts with analytics storage, advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalization set to denied.
  • Until you choose Allow analytics, no Google Analytics cookies are set. Google's tag, which loads shortly after each page, sends only a cookieless page-view signal (the page address and basic browser details). Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what it contains.
  • If you choose Reject, press Escape on the banner, or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, analytics stays off. With Global Privacy Control we do not show the banner at all, unless you open Cookie settings yourself.
  • If you allow analytics and later change your mind, open Cookie settings and choose Reject. Google Analytics stops using its cookies from then on. Cookies that were already set may stay in your browser until they expire, and you can delete them in your browser settings at any time.
  • Advertising storage and ad personalization are always denied on this site.

5. What we do not use

No advertising or retargeting cookies, no social media pixels or share widgets, and no cookies from ad networks. Some tool pages download code libraries from cdnjs.cloudflare.com or cdn.jsdelivr.net; these downloads do not set cookies on our site, though the providers see the request as described in our Privacy Policy. If we add advertising in the future, we will update this policy and Cookie settings before any ads appear.

6. How to manage cookies and storage

  • Use the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page, or the button at the top of this page, to allow or reject analytics.
  • Delete cookies and local storage for clicksolvetools.com in your browser's privacy or site data settings. This also erases anything the tools saved for you.
  • Block cookies for all sites, or only third-party cookies, in your browser settings. The tools keep working, but tools that remember your work may not save it.
  • Turn on Global Privacy Control in a browser or extension that supports it.

7. Changes and contact

We will update this policy whenever the cookies or storage we use change, and change the "Last updated" date above.
