Cookie Policy
What cookies and local storage FossTool sets, and how to manage them.
Last updated: November 13, 2025
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, improve the user experience, and provide information to operators.
2. Cookies Used by FossTool
FossTool uses no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no third-party tracking cookies. Specifically:
- We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, or any other analytics service.
- We do not set cookies that follow you across other websites.
- We do not share visitor data with advertisers or data brokers.
3. Local Storage (Not Cookies)
For your convenience, FossTool stores a very small amount of data in your browser's local storage so that preferences you set — such as your last chosen sort order in the directory — persist between page visits. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us.
4. Third-Party Cookies
When you click a link to an external website listed on FossTool, that destination site may set its own cookies. We have no control over those cookies. Please consult the cookie policies of the third-party services you visit.
5. Managing Cookies
You can disable cookies or clear existing cookies at any time using your browser's settings. Please note that some features of external sites you reach through FossTool may not function properly if you disable cookies.
6. Consent
By continuing to use FossTool, you acknowledge that you have read this Cookie Policy. Because we do not use non-essential cookies, we do not present a separate cookie banner.
7. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly.
8. Contact
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact the site administrator.
