These cookies may be necessary for the Website to operate correctly.

They may support functions such as:

• maintaining sessions;
• security;
• fraud and abuse prevention;

Because these cookies may be required for core Website functionality, some may operate without optional consent where permitted by applicable law.

Blocking necessary cookies through your browser may cause parts of the Website to stop working correctly.

Functional cookies may help provide additional features or remember choices you make.

They may be used to remember settings such as:

• interface preferences;
• tool settings;
• display options;
• language choices;
• other Website preferences.

Not every visitor or feature will necessarily use functional cookies.

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

We may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors use Online Tools Central.

These technologies may help us understand information such as:

• which pages are visited;
• which tools are commonly used;
• how visitors reach the Website;
• general Website traffic patterns;
• device and browser types;
• Website performance;
• errors or technical problems;
• approximate geographic information;

We may use services such as Google Analytics or other analytics providers.

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies may be used only after obtaining appropriate consent.

Where we provide a cookie or privacy preference mechanism, cookies or similar technologies may be used to remember:

• whether you accepted or rejected certain cookies;
• your advertising preferences;
• your consent selections;
• the version of a consent notice shown to you.

These cookies help avoid repeatedly asking you to make the same privacy choices.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies may be classified as either first-party or third-party cookies.

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are generally set by Online Tools Central or by technologies operating on behalf of the Website.

They may support Website functionality, preferences, security or other operational purposes.

Third-party cookies may be placed by companies that provide services used by the Website.

These may include providers of:

• advertising;
• analytics;
• security;
• CAPTCHA or anti-abuse technology;

Third parties may process information collected through their cookies according to their own privacy policies.

6. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

Online Tools Central may use Google AdSense or other Google advertising services.

Google and other third-party advertising vendors may use cookies and similar technologies when advertisements are displayed through Online Tools Central.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user's previous visits to Online Tools Central or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies may enable Google and its advertising partners to provide advertisements based on visits to this Website and/or other websites.

Depending on your location, privacy choices and applicable requirements, advertising may be:

• personalised;
• non-personalised;
• limited;
• otherwise restricted according to applicable privacy requirements.

Users may manage personalised advertising preferences using Google's advertising preference tools, including Google My Ad Center or Google Ads Settings.

Google and other advertising providers may also use information such as IP addresses, browser or device identifiers, web beacons and similar technologies in connection with advertising.

7. Personalised Advertising

Where permitted and where appropriate consent has been obtained, advertising providers may use information about visits to Online Tools Central and other websites to select advertisements that may be more relevant to a user's interests.

This is commonly referred to as personalised or interest-based advertising.

Personalised advertising may use information such as:

• pages visited;
• interactions with advertisements;
• approximate location;
• browser or device information;
• advertising identifiers;
• previous browsing activity.

Online Tools Central does not control all information independently collected or processed by third-party advertising providers.

8. Non-Personalised and Limited Advertising

In some circumstances, advertisements may be selected without using a user's previous browsing behaviour for personalisation.

Non-personalised advertising may still use information such as:

• the general content of the page;
• approximate location;
• device information;
• frequency controls;
• fraud-prevention information.

Certain cookies, local storage or other identifiers may still be used for purposes such as security, measurement, frequency capping or preventing invalid traffic, where permitted.

9. Google Analytics and Other Analytics Services

Online Tools Central may use Google Analytics or other analytics services.

Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect or generate information about how visitors interact with the Website.

Depending on the service and configuration, this information may include:

• referral sources;
• browser information;
• device information;
• approximate geographic information;
• Website interactions;
• IP-derived information;
• cookie or device identifiers.

We may use this information to understand Website performance and improve our tools and content.

If analytics services are not enabled at a particular time, this section explains technologies that we may introduce in the future.

10. Consent Management Platform

Online Tools Central may use a Consent Management Platform ("CMP") or similar privacy preference system.

A CMP may allow visitors to:

• accept certain categories of cookies;
• reject certain categories of cookies;
• manage advertising choices;
• manage analytics choices;
• review third-party advertising providers;
• change previously selected preferences.

Where required for Google advertising services in applicable regions, Online Tools Central may use a Google-certified CMP that supports relevant industry consent standards.

The options displayed to you may depend on your country or region.

11. Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Visitors located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland may be presented with additional privacy and consent choices.

Where required, consent may be requested before certain information is stored on or accessed from your device or before personal information is used for personalised advertising.

If Online Tools Central serves Google advertising in these regions, we may use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform in accordance with Google's applicable publisher requirements.

You may be able to change your choices through the privacy or cookie settings made available on the Website.

12. Cookie Duration

Cookies may have different lifetimes.

Session cookies

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

The duration of a particular cookie may depend on:

• its purpose;
• Website configuration;
• the third-party service that sets it;
• your browser settings;
• your privacy choices.

Because Online Tools Central may use different services over time, we do not guarantee that every cookie will have the same retention period.

13. Managing Your Cookie Choices

Depending on your location and the technologies used by the Website, you may be able to manage cookies in several ways.

Website consent controls

Where a cookie or privacy preference interface is available, you may use it to manage certain non-essential cookies or advertising choices.

Browser settings

Most browsers provide controls that allow you to:

• view cookies;
• delete cookies;
• block cookies;
• restrict third-party cookies;
• block cookies from particular websites.

The exact controls depend on your browser.

Blocking all cookies may prevent some Online Tools Central features from working correctly.

Advertising preferences

You may also be able to manage personalised advertising through the privacy and advertising controls provided directly by advertising providers such as Google.

14. Withdrawing or Changing Consent

Where we rely on consent for the use of particular cookies or similar technologies, you may be able to withdraw or change that consent.

Where a consent management interface is available on the Website, you may use that interface to change your choices.

Changing your preferences does not necessarily remove cookies already stored on your device. You may also need to delete existing cookies through your browser settings.

15. Do Not Track and Other Privacy Signals

Some browsers or devices provide privacy signals such as "Do Not Track" or other preference mechanisms.

Technical standards and legal requirements relating to these signals may vary between jurisdictions.

Where applicable law requires Online Tools Central to recognise a particular legally valid privacy signal, we will endeavour to comply with that requirement.

16. Third-Party Services

Online Tools Central may use third-party technologies that set their own cookies.

We do not control all cookies independently placed by third-party providers.

Third-party providers may change:

• the cookies they use;
• their purposes;
