Cookie policy
Last updated: 2026-05-13
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores in the visitor's browser. They are used to keep sessions, remember preferences or measure usage. Technically similar alternatives (localStorage, sessionStorage, etc.) are covered by this policy with the same safeguards as cookies.
2. Current state: no tracking, no analytics, no advertising
ToolsOps in production does not install tracking, profiling or advertising cookies. In particular:
- Analytics: no analytics provider is active (no Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo or equivalent).
- Advertising (AdSense or other network): no advertising network is active. When one is enabled, this page will list the provider, the cookies it installs, the purpose and the duration. Activation will sit behind a consent banner (CMP) under GDPR / ePrivacy / Spanish LSSI.
- Newsletter / forms: none exist.
- Tool inputs: data you enter into any tool (JSON, chmod values, etc.) is never stored in cookies or in browser local storage. It is processed in memory and discarded when you close the tab.
3. Strictly necessary technical cookies
The public site does notinstall session technical cookies for its operation. If any are introduced in the future (e.g., to remember the visitor's language preference) they will be documented here with name, purpose and duration. Strictly necessary technical cookies are exempt from prior consent under Spanish LSSI.
4. Cloudflare cookies in protected environments
The staging environment (not public) is protected by Cloudflare Access. This mechanism installs Cloudflare-owned cookies (CF_AppSession, CF_Authorization) in the authenticated user's browser to maintain the authentication session. These cookies only appear on staging.toolsops.dev, which is not publicly accessible. In production (toolsops.dev), Cloudflare is used solely for hosting and CDN; no Access cookies are installed on the public domain.
Cloudflare may additionally install the __cf_bm cookie for bot mitigation while delivering assets. Cloudflare classifies it as a security technical cookie. More details in Cloudflare's privacy policy.
5. If we enable advertising or analytics
This section will be completed before enabling any provider. When applicable, this policy will include:
- Provider name (e.g., Google AdSense, specific analytics platform).
- List of specific cookies with purpose and duration (e.g.,
_ga,__gads,NID, etc.). - Category (technical, analytics, advertising, personalization).
- Legal basis and link to the provider's policy.
Before loading any third-party scripts for those purposes, we will show a consent management platform (CMP) compatible with the TCF v2.2 framework and Google Consent Mode v2 in EEA / UK / Switzerland, under GDPR and national law.
6. Managing your cookies
You can configure your browser to block, limit or delete cookies at any time from its preferences panel. The site will still work without them. When the consent banner is available, you will also be able to revoke your preferences from the site itself.
