The public production site uses Google Tag Manager and AdSense together with Google's Privacy & messaging consent platform. Development and automated testing use separate non-production configuration. UsefulUtilities may also use essential Laravel cookies for server-backed interactive features.
Essential cookies
- Session cookie: maintains short-lived application state where a server-backed feature requires it.
- XSRF token: helps protect interactive requests against cross-site request forgery.
These cookies are not used to build advertising profiles. Blocking them may prevent Livewire or other server-backed interactions from working.
Local browser storage
The personal utility shelf stores the paths of saved and recently used tools on your device; it does not store tool input or output. A local-first tool may also store an explicit preference or a recipe when you ask it to. Stored recipes must not contain source input unless the interface clearly says so. You can clear recent tools in the interface, unsave tools with their star control, or remove all site data through your browser settings.
Advertising and consent storage
Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies for consent choices, ad delivery, measurement, security and fraud prevention. The available advertising mode depends on the choices presented through Google's consent message and the requirements that apply to the visitor. You can use that message and your browser controls to manage or remove stored choices.
