Cookie Policy

Last updated: 3 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. Web Tools Realm is operated by Baleeghuddin Shaikh, based in Karachi, Pakistan.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device through your browser. When you return to the site, the browser sends the cookie back, which allows the site to recognise your session and remember preferences. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another domain, such as an advertising or analytics provider, are called third-party cookies.

A notice about cookies is shown on your first visit to this site.

Essential Cookies

These are required for the website to function. They maintain your session, store security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery, and remember basic choices such as your selected language or theme. The site cannot operate correctly without them, and they cannot be disabled through our site.

The essential cookies we set are:

• laravel_session — maintains your session while you use the site. Expires when your session ends.
• XSRF-TOKEN — a security token that protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery. Expires when your session ends.
• lang — remembers the language you selected. Persistent.
• theme — remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. Persistent.
• Cookie consent marker — records that you have seen the cookie notice, so it is not shown on every visit. Persistent.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors find and use this site — which pages are viewed, how long visits last, and which tools are used most often. This information is aggregated and helps us decide what to improve and which tools are worth expanding.

Analytics cookies are set by Google Analytics. Their use is governed by Google's own privacy policy, and the data they collect is not used to identify you personally.

Advertising Cookies

This website may display advertising through Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These networks use cookies to measure ad performance, limit how often you see the same advertisement, and in some cases serve advertising relevant to your interests based on your browsing history across websites.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.
• Ad networks other than Google may also place cookies on your device. We do not control those cookies, and their use is governed by each network's own policies.

How to Control Cookies

• Visit google.com/settings/ads to manage how Google personalises advertising for you.
• Visit aboutads.info/choices to opt out of personalised advertising from participating third-party vendors.
• Visit youronlinechoices.com for opt-out options available in Europe.

Opting out stops advertising from being personalised. It does not remove advertising from the site, and you will continue to see ads that are not tailored to your interests.

All major browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings, usually under a Privacy or Security section. You can typically choose to block third-party cookies only, which stops advertising and analytics cookies while leaving essential site functions intact. Browsers also offer a private or incognito mode, which discards cookies when the window is closed.

What Happens If You Block Cookies

Blocking third-party cookies will generally not affect our tools, which work without them. Blocking all cookies, including essential ones, may prevent you from staying logged in, cause preferences to reset on every visit, and may stop some pages from submitting correctly.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry consensus on how sites should respond to this signal, and this website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to it.

Some browsers and extensions also send a Global Privacy Control signal. Where applicable law requires us to honour it, we will treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

The opt-out methods described above remain the effective way to limit personalised advertising.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our site or our providers change. The revised version takes effect when published here, and the date at the top will be updated.
