Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how KeroTools uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use KeroTools, or by accepting cookies where a consent banner is shown, you agree to the use of cookies as described here. You can change your choices at any time through your browser settings.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixels, and tags — perform comparable functions and are covered by this policy.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to make KeroTools work properly, to remember your settings such as your preferred language, to measure and improve performance, and to support the advertising that keeps the Service free. Some cookies are strictly necessary, while others are optional and used only with your consent where the law requires it.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies — These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as remembering your language preference and keeping the site secure.

Preference cookies — These remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience, such as your selected settings.

Analytics cookies — These help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting anonymous, aggregated information such as page views and tool usage, so we can improve the Service.

Advertising cookies — These are set by our advertising partners, including Google, to show relevant advertisements, limit how often you see an ad, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages rather than by us directly. In particular, we use Google AdSense for advertising and may use Google Analytics for usage statistics.

As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies — including the DART cookie — to serve ads to you based on your visits to KeroTools and other sites on the internet. These providers set and read their own cookies according to their own policies, over which we have no control. We encourage you to review Google’s policies at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

6. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies are either "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The lifetime of each cookie varies depending on its purpose; advertising and analytics cookies set by third parties are governed by those providers’ own retention periods.

7. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can control and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please note that blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working correctly.

For instructions specific to your browser, see: Google Chrome (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647), Mozilla Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies), Apple Safari (https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471), and Microsoft Edge (https://support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge). You can also opt out of personalised Google ads at https://www.google.com/settings/ads.

8. Your Consent

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, such as analytics and advertising cookies. You can give, refuse, or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using any cookie controls provided on the site. Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the core tools on KeroTools.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. As there is currently no agreed industry standard for how websites should respond to these signals, we do not alter our behaviour based on them. You can, however, manage tracking directly through the cookie and browser controls described above.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
