Cookie transparency
Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how MC NovaTools uses cookies and similar technologies on mc-novatools.com. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels, tags, scripts, and identifiers that help a site remember information or measure activity. Some cookies are necessary for a website to function, while others support analytics, preferences, or advertising after the appropriate consent is collected.
We use cookies to keep the site secure, remember consent choices, improve performance, understand aggregate usage, preserve interface preferences, and support advertising that funds free public tools. Our product philosophy remains browser-first: tool files and inputs should stay on your device whenever technically possible. Cookie use is separate from file processing, and rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent core tools from working.
You can manage cookies through our consent management platform, the site cookie banner, and your browser settings. The banner allows you to accept, reject, or customize non-essential categories where required. Browser controls can delete existing cookies, block third-party cookies, clear localStorage, or limit tracking. If you delete cookies or switch devices, the site may ask for your choices again.
Cookies do not usually identify you by name on their own, but they can be personal data when combined with identifiers, IP addresses, device information, account data, or advertising profiles. For that reason, we describe each category in practical terms and give users a way to withdraw consent. We also avoid using cookie walls that would make basic public tools unavailable solely because a visitor rejected analytics or advertising cookies.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Purpose
These cookies and local storage records make the site work. They may store consent choices, support security, keep pages loading correctly, remember that a notice was dismissed, and prevent repeated prompts during a session. They are not used for behavioral advertising.
Duration
Usually session-based or retained long enough to remember legal choices, security states, and essential preferences. Consent records may persist until you change them or clear browser data.
Examples
Cookie consent status, security tokens, load-balancing records, language routing safeguards, and basic page-delivery identifiers.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Purpose
These cookies help us understand how visitors use pages and tools in aggregate. They may measure page views, tool starts, tool completions, error rates, Core Web Vitals, navigation paths, and browser performance so we can improve reliability and content quality.
Duration
Retention depends on the analytics provider settings and may range from session duration to a configured analytics retention period. We review settings periodically to avoid unnecessary storage.
Examples
Google Analytics events, anonymized performance measurements, referral data, device category, and aggregate engagement reports when analytics consent is granted.
Functional Cookies
Purpose
Functional cookies and storage improve convenience by remembering choices that are not strictly required. They can keep your theme, language, recent interface preference, or tool setting available when you return.
Duration
Typically retained until you clear browser data, change the setting, or the stored preference expires according to the browser or site configuration.
Examples
Dark mode selection, language preference, dismissed educational prompts, and non-sensitive tool interface settings.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Purpose
Advertising cookies may help deliver ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, detect invalid traffic, and support contextual or personalized advertising depending on consent and provider settings. We use advertising to keep tools free, but ads must not block core functionality.
Duration
Duration depends on the advertising provider and your consent choices. Some identifiers may persist across sessions unless you withdraw consent or clear browser data.
Examples
Google AdSense cookies, ad measurement identifiers, frequency-capping signals, fraud-prevention signals, and consent-mode signals.
How to withdraw or change consent
You may withdraw consent at any time by opening the site cookie banner or Cookie Settings link provided by our consent management platform. After changing preferences, reload the page so optional scripts can be disabled or enabled according to your choice. You can also use browser settings to clear cookies and localStorage, block third-party cookies, send privacy signals, or install privacy extensions.
Withdrawing consent does not automatically delete records already processed by third parties before withdrawal, but it stops future non-essential cookies from being set by this site where our consent controls apply. Some strictly necessary technologies remain active because they are required for security, consent storage, or page delivery.
If the banner is not visible, check the footer for a cookie settings control, clear site data for mc-novatools.com, or use your browser privacy menu. Browser-level blocking may affect features that rely on localStorage, such as theme or language memory, but core pages should remain readable.
