Preferences are meant
to be easy to change.
01
Necessary is not the same as convenient. A technology is only treated as essential when it is genuinely needed to provide a service you request or protect the site.
02
Non-essential categories start off. Analytics and marketing preferences are not enabled by default in this preference center.
03
Changing your mind is part of consent. You can revisit this page and update your saved preference at any time.

POLICY RECORD
This page describes
the live public site.
This policy is version 1.0, last updated August 16, 2026. The register below reflects ToolMerit’s current public configuration. Browser extensions and settings outside our control can change what appears on your device.
Question a cookie or consent practice →WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?
Small files. Significant choices.
A cookie is a small text file a website can place on a device. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, SDKs, device identifiers, and scripts that access or store information on your browser or device. They can be first-party (set by this site) or third-party (set by another service).
Set by another company, such as an analytics, advertising, video, social, consent, or affiliate attribution provider. Their own policies and controls also matter.
Some end when you close the browser. Others remain until a stated expiry or until you clear them. The live cookie register must disclose each duration.

Technology must follow the consent choice.
Before ToolMerit enables any non-essential technology, we assess its data behavior and connect its loading behavior to the applicable preference where required.
- 01
Review the service
Identify cookies, pixels, local-storage entries, recipients, purposes, retention periods, transfer locations, and the provider’s privacy information.
- 02
Update public information
Name the provider, explain why it is used, state its category, and document relevant sharing or international-transfer details.
- 03
Respect the preference
Where consent is required, do not load non-essential technology before the applicable category is enabled.
- 04
Test refusal and withdrawal
Check a fresh session, rejection, each individual choice, and a later withdrawal so the published controls match actual behavior.
OTHER WAYS TO CONTROL STORAGE
Your browser also has controls.
You can usually delete, block, allow, or limit cookies through browser settings. Blocking all cookies can affect features on this and other sites. Browser controls do not necessarily stop every kind of tracking technology, and they do not replace a site-specific consent choice where one is required.
