Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies Vootkit uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and allow third-party services (like advertisers and analytics providers) to work.
Cookies we use
| Cookie / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vk-consent | Functional | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie consent banner so we don't show it again. | 1 year |
| vk-theme | Functional | Stores your light/dark mode preference so the correct theme loads on your next visit. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| vk-recent | Functional | Remembers which Vootkit tools you used recently so we can surface them on the homepage. Stores only tool IDs and timestamps — no file data. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| Google AdSense cookies | Advertising | Google uses cookies to serve personalised or contextual ads and to measure ad performance. Vootkit is supported by advertising — this is what keeps the tools free. | Up to 13 months (Google-controlled) |
| Google Analytics cookies | Analytics | Helps us understand aggregate traffic patterns (page views, device types, countries) so we can improve the site. No personally identifying information is collected. | Up to 2 years (Google-controlled) |
Your file data is never stored
The files you process with Vootkit's tools (videos, PDFs, images) are handled entirely in your browser. They are never uploaded to our servers and are never stored in cookies or any other persistent storage.
Third-party cookies
Google AdSense and Google Analytics may set their own cookies. Vootkit does not control these cookies. You can learn more about how Google uses cookies at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
How to control cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
Browser settings: All modern browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. Look in your browser's Privacy or Security settings.
Opt out of Google ads: Visit Google Ads Settings to opt out of personalised advertising.
Industry opt-out: Visit aboutads.info/choices to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
Blocking cookies will not affect the core functionality of Vootkit's tools, since they run locally in your browser.
