Cookies & Local Storage

Cookie & Storage Policy

Learn how Tool Vault uses local browser storage and minimal cookies to deliver high-performance utilities.

What We Store Locally

Tool Vault minimizes data collection. We do not use third-party tracking cookies for user profiling or behavioral tracking. Instead, we utilize your browser's localStorage exclusively to preserve your personal workspace preferences:

  • vault_theme: Remembers whether you selected Light Mode, Dark Mode, or System theme.
  • vault_reduced_motion: Stores your accessibility preference for reduced animation.
  • vault_cookie_consent: Records whether you acknowledged our privacy notice so the banner does not repeatedly appear.
  • vault_active_category: Remembers your last selected tool category filter for quick access.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

We utilize Vercel Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymous performance measurements (e.g., Core Web Vitals, page response times, and geographic distribution). This data contains zero personally identifiable information (PII) and cannot be used to track individual identity across the web.

How to Manage or Clear Stored Data

You have full control over your stored preferences. You can clear all Tool Vault local data at any time by visiting our Settings Page or by using your browser's native “Clear Site Data” controls.
