What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you visit) or "third-party" (set by other services used by the website, such as analytics or advertising providers). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period).

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features may not work as expected.

• 345tool_theme — Stores your dark/light mode preference using localStorage. This is technically not a cookie but local storage, and it never leaves your browser.
• Session cookies — Used to maintain your login session when you sign in with Google. These are deleted when you close your browser.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us identify popular content, improve navigation, and enhance the overall user experience.

• _ga — Used to distinguish unique users. Expires after 2 years.
• _gid — Used to distinguish unique users. Expires after 24 hours.
• _gat — Used to throttle request rate. Expires after 1 minute.

Google Analytics collects data anonymously and generates aggregate reports. It does not identify individual visitors. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising Cookies

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support our free services. Google AdSense may set cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing activity across websites.

• __gads — Used by Google AdSense for ad targeting and measurement. Expires after 13 months.
• __gpi — Used by Google Publisher Infrastructure for ad delivery. Expires after 13 months.

You can control personalized advertising by visiting your Google Ads Settings or using the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.
