This Cookie Policy explains how EvoTechTool ("we," "us," or "our"), accessible at https://evotechtool.pages.dev, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. This Cookie Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

By continuing to use EvoTechTool, you acknowledge this Cookie Policy. Non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) are set only after you provide explicit consent via our Cookie Consent Banner.

Note on Tool Privacy: Tool computations (passwords, QR codes, IP lookups) run entirely in your local browser memory and do not use cookies.

Third-party advertising network cookies (Adsterra) are currently disabled across EvoTechTool. We do not sell personal data.

Cookies are set either by the website owner ("first-party cookies") or by authorized third-party vendors ("third-party cookies"). Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — this Policy covers all such technologies.

When you first visit EvoTechTool, our Cookie Consent Banner gives you full control:

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in our website footer. This resets your preference and re-displays the consent banner smoothly, without affecting the lawfulness of any prior processing.

Note on Consent Record: When you interact with our Cookie Consent Banner (clicking "Accept All" or "Reject Non-Essential"), your choice is saved locally on your browser in a 30-day cookie for seamless compliance.

5. Managing & Opting Out of Cookies

C. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We respect Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by applicable law. If your browser or extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an automatic request to opt out of all non-essential cookies.

6. International Data Transfers

If you consent to Google Analytics (GA4), pseudonymous telemetry may be processed on Google servers in the United States and other international data centers. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) as legal transfer mechanisms.
