Edtoolkits uses browser storage to remember choices. Your uploaded documents are not saved in cookies or local storage.
Essential and optional categories
Essential preferences keep your theme and cookie choices working and are always enabled. Cookie-based Google Analytics is optional and stays off until accepted. Choose “Essential only” to use the site without Google Analytics, “Accept all” to enable Google Analytics, or “Preferences” to choose by category. Advertising choices are handled separately by Google’s consent message.
Preferences used by the site
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme · local storage | Remembers light or dark mode. | Until you change or clear it. |
| edtoolkits.analytics.v1 · local storage | Remembers whether you allowed or declined analytics. | Until you change or clear it. |
| _ga and _ga_* · optional cookies | Google Analytics visitor/session measurement after opt-in. | Controlled by Google Analytics settings and your browser; commonly up to two years, and may be shorter. |
| Google consent records, such as FCCDCF / FCNEC | Record messaging eligibility and advertising privacy choices. | Managed by Google’s consent manager and your browser; choices can be revisited. |
| Google advertising cookies, such as __gads / __gpi / _gcl_* | Advertising delivery and measurement only when the relevant storage consent permits it. | Controlled by Google and browser settings; may vary by service and region. |
Advertising choices
Google’s published consent message controls advertising choices where it applies. Advertising requests wait for the consent manager. European visitors’ Google vendor and purpose choices determine storage, ad measurement and personalization. Denied storage or ad-measurement consent keeps requests paused. Personalization requires additional consent. Elsewhere we keep storage and personalization denied and let Google determine limited-ad eligibility. Google approval and account settings still determine whether ads appear.
Advertising consent does not enable our optional Google Analytics. You can revisit advertising choices here; the message and available options depend on your region.
Google’s privacy controls appear here when available for your visit. Content blockers may prevent them from loading.
Optional analytics
Google Analytics does not measure visits until you choose “Accept all” or enable “Usage analytics” and save your preferences. It may then set measurement cookies and measure visits, scrolling, and outbound link clicks. Declining has no effect on tool functionality. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled in our integration.
Google Ads tag
A shared Google tag loads with storage denied by default. Google Ads may receive cookieless consent and measurement signals before advertising storage is allowed. Advertising choices are separate from Analytics. Personalization signals are disabled; no tool inputs, document contents, query strings or URL fragments are added to measurement.
Cookieless page counts
Vercel Web Analytics runs independently of this Google Analytics choice to report aggregate page views and approximate visitors. Our integration uses no analytics cookies, custom events or visitor identification. Page URLs exclude query strings and fragments. See the Privacy Policy for details. Content blockers may prevent collection.
Change your choice
Use the Cookie settings button in this section to manage essential preferences and optional usage analytics. Turning it off stops further Analytics collection on this device and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies for this site. It does not delete data already processed by Google. Clearing browser storage resets the preference; using another device or browser requires a separate choice.
Browser settings and content blockers can also limit cookies and analytics. Removing the theme preference only resets the display choice. Closing or reloading a tool clears its in-memory document workspace, but does not delete files you downloaded yourself.
Advertising cookies
When advertising storage is allowed, Google may use advertising cookies to show and measure ads, subject to your choices and account eligibility. Reopening advertising choices pauses requests while the message is shown. Browser controls can also remove or block existing cookies. Analytics preferences do not grant or withdraw advertising consent.
