This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Asli Tools uses, and how you can control them. Essential cookies are needed for the site to work. Analytics, advertising (including Google AdSense when enabled), and some functional cookies are used only when you allow those categories in our cookie banner.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember choices, keep sessions secure, and (when allowed) measure usage or support advertising.
- Session cookies: deleted when you close the browser
- Persistent cookies: stay until they expire or you delete them
- First-party cookies: set by Asli Tools
- Third-party cookies: set by services such as analytics or ad partners
2. How we use cookies
2.1 Necessary cookies
Required for core features such as security, language routing where applicable, remembering cookie choices, and basic site operation. These stay on.
- Cookie consent status and category preferences
- Security and session-related needs for signed-in features
2.2 Analytics cookies
Used only if you allow analytics. They help us understand which pages and tools people use so we can improve the site. We use Google Analytics when analytics consent is granted.
- Examples: _ga, _gid, and related Google Analytics cookies
2.3 Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
Used only if you allow advertising and when Google AdSense (or related Google advertising tags) is enabled on Asli Tools. These cookies help deliver, personalize, and measure ads that support keeping the tools free. You can reject this category in the banner or change it later under Cookie settings in the footer.
- Google AdSense and Google advertising cookies when advertising consent is granted
- May include cookies used for ad delivery, frequency capping, fraud prevention, and measurement
2.4 Functional cookies and local storage
Used to remember helpful preferences when allowed. Theme preference may be stored with a cookie and/or browser local storage so light or dark mode can persist across visits.
- Theme preference (light, dark, or system)
- Other non-essential preference storage when enabled
3. Cookies we commonly use
The table below lists common cookies. Exact third-party cookies can vary when analytics or advertising partners update their tags.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Stores whether you accepted, rejected, or customized cookies | First-party | 1 year |
| cookie-preferences | Stores your analytics, advertising, and functional choices | First-party | 1 year |
| _ga | Google Analytics user distinction (when analytics is allowed) | Third-party | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics user distinction (when analytics is allowed) | Third-party | 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics request throttling (when analytics is allowed) | Third-party | About 1 minute |
| _gcl_au | Google AdSense / ads conversion linker (when advertising is allowed) | Third-party | About 3 months |
| IDE / other Google ad cookies | Google advertising delivery and measurement via doubleclick.net or related domains (when advertising is allowed) | Third-party | Varies by Google |
| theme | Remembers light/dark preference (may also use local storage) | First-party | Persistent |
4. Third-party cookies
4.1 Google Analytics
If you allow analytics cookies, Google Analytics may set cookies to measure traffic and usage. Google has its own privacy policy. You can also use Google's analytics opt-out browser add-on.
4.2 Google AdSense and advertising
If advertising is enabled and you allow advertising cookies, Google AdSense and related Google advertising services may set cookies or use similar identifiers to deliver, personalize, and measure ads. Third parties (including Google) may place or read cookies on your device for advertising when you allow that category. Exact cookie names can change when Google updates its tags. You can turn advertising cookies off in our banner or Cookie settings, use Google Ad Settings, or industry opt-out tools.
5. Managing your preferences
5.1 Cookie banner
On your first visit you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize categories. You can change this later using Cookie settings in the site footer or help menus where that control is shown.
5.2 Browser settings
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you block all cookies, some preferences (including consent memory) may not stick, and you may see the banner again.
6. If you disable cookies
Necessary features should still work. Disabling analytics or advertising mainly reduces measurement and ad-related cookies. Disabling functional storage may reset theme or similar preferences.
7. Cookies and personal data
Some cookies can be linked to identifiers. How we handle personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. Credit limits for guests also use technical signals such as IP address and are not only cookie-based.
8. Updates
We may update this Cookies Policy when our practices or partners change. The date at the top of this page shows the latest update.
