Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 27, 2026

The tools themselves

Every tool on thedevtoolset runs entirely in your browser. Whatever you type into a tool — values, CSS, text — is processed locally on your device and is never uploaded to or stored on a server. We have no backend that receives it.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember small preferences, such as your light/dark theme choice. This data stays on your device. Third parties (see below) may set their own cookies.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (Google's gtag.js) to understand which tools are useful and how the site performs — for example, page views and aggregate usage trends. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (such as _ga) and may process usage data on Google's servers. We use it only to see aggregate patterns, not to identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking cookies as described under "Your choices" below. For more on how Google uses data, see Google's policy.

Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before any analytics cookies are set. Google Analytics runs with Google Consent Mode v2, which keeps analytics storage disabled by default in these regions — no _ga cookie is created and no usage data is collected until you choose "Accept" on our cookie banner. This consent is the legal basis on which we process analytics data for you.

You can withdraw or change your choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer; declining leaves analytics disabled with no effect on the tools, which run entirely in your browser. We do not use a consent banner outside these regions.

Third-party advertising

This site may display ads served by Google, including through Google AdSense. 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 can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more on how Google uses data, see Google's partner-sites policy.

Your choices

You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings, and use a browser-level opt-out or content blocker if you prefer. Doing so will not affect the core functionality of the tools, since they run locally.

Terms of use

Your use of this site is also governed by our Terms of Service.
