Cookies Policy

This page explains what cookies are, how Responsive Test Tool uses them (spoiler: barely at all), and what choices you have. We believe in full transparency.

Section 01

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted). They can also be first-party (set by the site you are visiting) or third-party (set by a different domain).

Similar technologies like localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB serve comparable purposes. This policy covers all such technologies, not just traditional cookies.
Section 02

How We Use Cookies

Responsive Test Tool is designed to be a privacy-first, client-side tool. We use an absolute minimum of cookies. Specifically, we only use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Theme Preference: We store your light/dark mode preference locally so you don't have to re-select it each visit.
  • UI Settings: Basic interface preferences (e.g., sidebar state, selected viewport) may be stored locally on your device.
  • Cookie Consent: We store your cookie preferences so you are not shown the consent banner on every visit.
We do not use cookies to track your browsing behavior, build advertising profiles, or share data with third parties for commercial purposes. Your URLs and test data are never stored in cookies or sent to our servers.
Section 03

Section 04

Third-Party Cookies

We use a very limited set of third-party services that may set their own cookies. These services have their own independent privacy and cookie policies.

Google Analytics (Optional)

If you consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site in aggregate. This helps us improve the tool. Google Analytics uses pseudonymous identifiers and does not collect personally identifiable information through our implementation. We have IP anonymization enabled.

Cloudflare

Our site is protected by Cloudflare, which may set security-related cookies as part of its bot protection and DDoS mitigation services. These cookies are classified as strictly necessary and cannot be opted out of without disabling essential site protection.

We do not use advertising networks, social media trackers, remarketing pixels, or any marketing-related third-party cookies. We never sell data to advertisers.
Section 05

Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the controls below. Changes take effect immediately.

Strictly Necessary Cookies
Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled as they are essential for security and core features such as theme saving and cookie consent storage.
Always On
Functional Cookies
Remember your UI preferences (sidebar state, default viewport) to improve your experience on return visits.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site (Google Analytics). All data is anonymized and no personal information is collected.
Section 06

Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to our preference center, you can manage cookies at the browser level. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Note that disabling all cookies may impact the functionality of this and other websites.

  • Google Chrome: Settings โ†’ Privacy and Security โ†’ Cookies and other site data.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options โ†’ Privacy & Security โ†’ Cookies and Site Data.
  • Apple Safari: Preferences โ†’ Privacy โ†’ Manage Website Data.
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings โ†’ Cookies and site permissions โ†’ Manage and delete cookies.
  • Opera: Settings โ†’ Advanced โ†’ Privacy & Security โ†’ Site Settings โ†’ Cookies.
You can also use browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger for more granular control over tracking technologies across all websites you visit.
Section 07

Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is currently no industry-wide standard for responding to DNT signals, our site does not currently alter its behavior based on DNT headers.

However, given our minimal use of tracking technologies, this has limited practical impact for most users. If you would like to ensure no analytics data is collected, you can disable analytics cookies using the preference center in Section 05 above.

Section 08

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, technical, or business reasons. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you disagree with any changes, you should adjust your cookie preferences or discontinue use of the site.

For major policy changes that affect how we process your data, we may also display a notice on the website or send an email notification if you have provided us with your contact details.
