Cookie Policy

Effective & Last Updated: September 18, 2026

Version 3.0

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. Cookies on this site are used exclusively for: (1) your cookie consent preference, (2) aggregated traffic analytics (Google Analytics 4), and (3) display advertising (Adsterra Network). We do not sell personal data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. 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.

2. Cookie Inventory

The table below lists the main cookies we and our partners currently use. Third-party providers (especially Adsterra and its demand partners) may set additional cookies depending on your region, device, and their live ad inventory. Cookie names and durations used by third parties can change without notice. Please review their policies for the most current information. We do not control third-party cookies set by Adsterra's demand partners.

4. Your Consent Choices

When you first visit EvoTechTool, our Cookie Consent Banner gives you 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 on your next page load, without affecting the lawfulness of any prior processing.

Note on Consent Strength: When you interact with our Cookie Consent Banner (clicking "Accept All" or "Reject Non-Essential"), you are also providing affirmative notice of acceptance of our Terms of Use, including the arbitration clause. This creates a stronger, click-based agreement record.

5. Managing & Opting Out of Cookies

A. On-Site Consent Banner

Use our Cookie Consent Banner or the Cookie Settings link in the footer to change your choices at any time.

B. Browser Controls

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings:

C. Ad Network Opt-Out

To opt out of Adsterra's interest-based advertising, please visit the Adsterra Privacy Policy for their available opt-out options. If a direct opt-out page is not available for your region, use your browser cookie controls as described above. You may also use industry opt-out tools such as Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or Your Online Choices (EU).

D. 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 a request to opt out of the sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising purposes. You can enable GPC via browsers like Brave or Firefox extensions that support it.

6. Adsterra Data Processing Relationship

For GDPR purposes, Adsterra operates as an independent data controller for advertising data collected via their platform, and also as our data processor for ad delivery services. Our publisher agreement with Adsterra includes GDPR-compliant data processing provisions. However, we do not control Adsterra's independent data processing activities. You should review the Adsterra Privacy Policy for their independent processing. We set Adsterra scripts only after explicit user consent and are not responsible for Adsterra's independent data processing activities once scripts are loaded under consent.

7. International Data Transfers

Cookies set by Google (GA4) and Adsterra may result in data being transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries outside the EEA/UK. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) as legal safeguards for such transfers. Please review the respective privacy policies of Google and Adsterra for their international transfer mechanisms.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external sites and ad destinations served by Adsterra. We are not responsible for the cookie or privacy practices of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review their cookie policies separately.
