Cookie Policy

This is the Cookie Policy for UtilzStack, accessible from https://utilzstack.com. Like most professional platforms, we and third-party vendors use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience, serve non-intrusive ads, and collect anonymous traffic stats.

1. What Are Cookies

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use them and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or break certain elements of the site's functionality.

2. Cookies We Deploy Directly

To preserve your layout settings, UtilzStack writes key value settings directly to your browser's persistent localStorage. While localStorage parameters are not technically cookies, they are treated similarly for privacy compliance. We store the following parameter:

• utilzstack-theme: Keeps track of your selected interface theme ('dark', 'cyberpunk', or 'light') so that your visual settings persist on future visits. No personal data is stored.

3. Third-Party Tracking Cookies

In special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

• Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. AdSense uses the DoubleClick cookie (specifically cookies such as __gads, id, and IDE) to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times a given ad is shown to you. For more information on Google AdSense, see the official Google AdSense privacy FAQ.
• Google Analytics: This site uses Google Analytics, one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web, to help us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so we can continue to produce engaging content.

5. Disabling and Managing Cookies

Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit.
