Most tools on this site process your files and text entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to us. A couple of tools that genuinely require a server (DNS/SSL/domain lookups, the site crawler) only ever receive the domain or URL you type in, nothing else. We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic, and (where enabled) Google AdSense to show ads, both of which use cookies as described below.
FreeToolDev doesn't require an account, doesn't ask for your email to use any tool, and doesn't store the files or text you process with the browser-based tools (Base64, CSV to JSON, image resize/convert/compress, RSS generator, sitemap generator) — those never leave your device in the first place, so there's nothing for us to store.
Two tools can't work purely in your browser, because browsers are deliberately restricted from querying arbitrary external domains (a security feature called CORS). For these, only the input you explicitly provide is sent onward — never any other browsing activity:
None of these requests include your name, IP address tracking, or any identifying information beyond what's inherent to making a web request (the same as visiting any website).
This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages get used, roughly where visitors come from, and general device/browser information. This is done via cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or review Google's own practices in the Google Privacy Policy.
This site may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. Tool functionality on this site is never limited or gated by ads.
This site itself does not set cookies for its own purposes (there's no login, no preferences to remember). Cookies you may encounter here come from Google Analytics and Google AdSense, governed by Google's own privacy practices linked above.
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
