Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data FreeToolsUse collects, how cookies are used, and how third-party advertising works.
Last updated: June 27, 2026
Overview
FreeToolsUse ("we", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. The majority of our tools run entirely in your browser, which means the content you paste, upload, or generate is processed on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Information we collect
- Tool content: For browser-based tools, your input never leaves your device. For tools that require a network request (for example DNS, SSL, or HTTP header checks), we send only the hostname or URL needed to perform the check and do not retain it after returning your result.
- Usage analytics: We use privacy-respecting analytics to count page views and which tools are used, in aggregate, so we can improve the site. This does not identify you personally.
- Anonymous usage counts: We may store an anonymous tally of how many times each tool is opened. This contains no personal information.
Cookies and local storage
We use cookies and browser local storage for essential functionality (such as remembering your theme preference) and for analytics and advertising as described below. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working.
Third-party advertising (Google AdSense)
We display ads through Google AdSense to keep the site free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can learn more about how Google uses data on its partner sites policy page.
- For visitors in the EEA, UK, and other regions, we request consent for personalized advertising and cookies through a consent management platform before such cookies are set.
Children's privacy
FreeToolsUse is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your choices
You can use most tools without providing any personal information. You may manage cookie and advertising preferences via your browser and the Google Ads Settings link above.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
