Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Nilon Tools ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar web technologies (such as local storage) on https://nilontools.com, why we use them, and your options for managing your cookie preferences.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or mobile device by a web server when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to remember user actions, authenticate sessions, and track aggregate usage.

Local Storage is a modern web technology that allows web applications to store data locally within your browser with no expiration date, ensuring preferences (like dark mode) persist without sending unnecessary data to the server with every HTTP request.

2. How We Use Cookies & Web Storage

We use cookies and web storage for the following specific purposes:

A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the website and cannot be disabled in our systems. They do not store personally identifiable information.

  • nt_public: A session cookie generated by PHP to maintain session state and provide Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection on our contact form. Expires when you close your browser.
  • nt_blk: A security cookie set only if our automated defense system detects malicious scanning or repeated abuse. Helps mitigate denial-of-service threats.

B. Functional Local Storage

These local storage items enhance your browsing experience by remembering your preferences:

  • nt-theme: Stores your visual theme selection (light or dark) so the website displays in your preferred style on return visits.
  • nt-consent: Stores your cookie consent selection so the banner is not displayed on every page load.
  • cv_uuid: Stores an anonymous reference identifier if you create or edit a resume using our CV & Resume Builder tool, allowing you to resume your draft.

C. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We display third-party advertisements on Nilon Tools through Google AdSense. Google and its certified advertising partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to:

  • Serve ads based on your visits to this website and other websites across the internet.
  • Limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement (frequency capping).
  • Measure the effectiveness and reach of ad campaigns.
  • Detect and prevent advertising fraud and invalid click activity.

D. Analytics Cookies

If Google Analytics is enabled, it uses cookies to collect aggregate, anonymous statistics about how visitors use our site (such as total page views, popular tools, and navigation paths). This helps us improve our tools and user interface.

4. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have full control over cookies and can modify your browser settings to reject or delete them at any time:

Note: Disabling cookies or local storage will not break our client-side conversion tools, but your theme preference may reset to default on each visit.
