Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that keeps data on your device. This page lists what Ali Tools Express uses and why.

Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to measure which pages and tools are used. Page addresses are sent without query strings, and nothing you type into a tool is ever sent. The Accounts workspace does not load analytics.

In the EEA, UK and Switzerland these cookies are not set unless you consent (Google Consent Mode defaults to “denied” there). Elsewhere you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
Advertising is not active yet. When we enable Google AdSense, Google and its partners may set cookies such as __gads, __gpi and IDE to deliver and measure ads and, with your consent, to personalise them. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent through a Google-certified consent management platform before personalised advertising cookies are used.
Managing your choices
- Consent: once ads are live, use the Cookie settings link in the site footer to review or withdraw your consent at any time.
- Browser settings: you can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser’s privacy settings. Blocking our preference storage will not stop the tools from working; they will simply forget your unit choice.
- Google ads: manage personalised ads at Google Ads Settings.
- Google Analytics: opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
