Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how MayOnlineTools (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies, local browser storage, and related technologies on our primary website https://mayonlinetools.com and across our connected domain extensions (.nl, .de, .eu, .online, .site, and .store, managed through Vimexx and forwarded via 301 redirect).
1. What are cookies and local browser storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve user experience, and provide analytical or advertising information to the operators of the site.
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, MayOnlineTools utilizes HTML5 Local Storage (localStorage). Unlike cookies, data in local storage remains strictly on your client device and is never automatically transmitted to an application server with each web request.
2. Essential First-Party Browser Storage
We use strictly necessary first-party local storage entries to ensure the platform operates smoothly and remembers your UI choices. These do not track you across other websites:
| Key / Identifier | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| mayonlinetools_theme | Local Storage | Remembers your display preference (Light Mode or Dark Mode). | Persistent |
| mayonlinetools_favorites | Local Storage | Stores your pinned favorite tools for 1-click sidebar access. | Persistent |
| mayonlinetools_history | Local Storage | Saves your recent tool calculation answers for instant copying and reuse. | Persistent (max 30 items) |
| mayonlinetools_active_tool | Local Storage | Restores your last opened utility on return visits. | Persistent |
| mayonlinetools_cookies | Local Storage | Remembers your consent choice (accepted or declined). | Persistent |
3. Infrastructure and Security (Cloudflare)
Our website is hosted on and delivered through Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.). Cloudflare may use security cookies (such as __cf_bm or Bot Management identifiers) to identify malicious traffic, prevent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, protect against botnets, and ensure fast edge caching. These cookies do not store personally identifiable browsing habits and are strictly necessary for the site's security and performance.
4. Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
MayOnlineTools displays advertisements served by Google AdSense (Publisher ID: ca-pub-3227577405395194) and its certified advertising network partners.
• Third-party cookies: Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie and identifiers such as __gads, __gpi, and IDE) to serve relevant advertisements based on a user’s previous visits to this website or other websites across the internet.
• Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads: Depending on your consent settings, Google may serve personalized ads (tailored to your interests and browsing behavior) or non-personalized ads (which do not use cookies for ad personalization, though cookies may still be used for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and combatting fraud and abuse).
• Consent Mechanism: For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising cookies are placed in accordance with applicable GDPR, ePrivacy, and Google EU User Consent Policy guidelines. You have full control to accept or reject non-essential advertising cookies.
