Jump to section
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how they may be used on WebUtils, and what choices you may have. It applies to the website at WebUtils.my and to the browser-based tools available on the site.
WebUtils is a collection of lightweight browser-based web utilities for developers, designers, SEO professionals, content creators, and general users. Available tools include an APCA Color Contrast Checker, an LLM Token Cost Calculator, a Video Safe Zone Checker, a Schema.org JSON-LD Generator, a Lorem Ipsum Generator, and a Text Case Converter.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used on WebUtils for purposes such as supporting core site functionality, security, preferences, measuring website performance, analytics (where enabled), advertising (where enabled), and protecting the site from fraud or abuse. The specific technologies in use can change over time depending on which features and services are enabled.
§1 What this Cookie Policy covers
This Cookie Policy focuses on cookies and similar technologies that may be used when you visit WebUtils.my. It explains:
- How cookies work and why they are used
- The types of cookies that may be used on WebUtils
- How browser-based tools may use browser storage
- How advertising and third-party services may involve cookies
- How you can manage cookies and similar technologies
This Cookie Policy does not list every cookie by name because the exact cookies depend on the website configuration and any third-party services enabled at a given time.
§2 What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files (or small pieces of information) that a website can store on your browser or device. Cookies can help a website do things like:
- Remember preferences — for example, language or display settings
- Recognize your browser across pages
- Support basic features and keep the site working correctly
- Understand how the site is used, where analytics is enabled
- Support advertising delivery and measurement, where advertising is enabled
Cookies are not the only technology that can store or read information in your browser. Websites and browser-based applications may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits (SDKs), and browser storage (for example, local storage or session storage). In this Cookie Policy, "cookies" may refer to cookies and similar technologies when the context requires it.
§3 How WebUtils may use cookies and similar technologies
Depending on the features you use and the services enabled on WebUtils, cookies or similar technologies may be used for the following purposes:
-
Essential operation — page navigation and basic feature delivery
-
Security — protecting WebUtils against malicious activity and abuse
-
Preferences — remembering settings you choose, where enabled
-
Performance — measuring reliability, identifying errors, improving load times
-
Analytics — understanding how visitors interact with pages and tools, where enabled
-
Advertising — delivering and measuring ads, where enabled
-
Fraud prevention — detecting invalid traffic and automated behavior
-
Improvement — understanding which tools are used and how to make them more helpful
Not all of these purposes will apply at all times. The use of cookies can also vary by your device, browser settings, and location.
§4 Types of cookies
Different cookies serve different purposes. Some cookies are set by WebUtils, and some may be set by third parties whose services are used on the website.
Strictly Necessary
Strictly necessary cookies may be required for basic website operation and security. For example, they may help with features such as load distribution, preventing abuse, or maintaining essential site functions.
In some regions, these may not require consent where legally permitted.
Functional / Preference
Functional or preference cookies may remember choices you make to improve your experience. For example, they may help remember display settings or other preferences you select.
Analytics / Performance
Analytics or performance cookies may help measure how visitors use the website — which pages are visited, how long pages take to load, or whether errors occur. The goal is to understand website usage so the site and tools can be improved.
Applies only if analytics technologies are enabled on WebUtils.
Advertising
Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used by advertising services to deliver ads, measure ad performance, control frequency, and detect invalid traffic. In some cases they may personalize ads where permitted.
Applies only if advertising services are enabled on WebUtils.
Third-Party
Third-party cookies are set by parties other than WebUtils. They may be placed when third-party services are integrated into the website — for example advertising services, analytics services, or embedded content.
WebUtils does not control third-party cookies once they are set.
Cookie categories at a glance
The table below explains common cookie categories in general terms. It is not a complete list of all cookies active on WebUtils at any time, and it is not a live cookie scan.
| Cookie Category | General Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Website operation and security |
| Functional | Remembering preferences and supporting optional features |
| Analytics | Understanding website usage and performance, where enabled |
| Advertising | Delivering and measuring ads, where enabled |
| Third-Party | Cookies or similar technologies set by external providers |
This table is explanatory — not a live inventory.
§5 Browser-based tools and local storage
Many WebUtils tools are designed to process information directly in your browser using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This means that, for many tools, your input can be handled locally on your device as part of the tool's normal operation.
Separately from cookies, browser-based applications may use browser storage technologies (such as local storage or session storage) to remember settings, retain temporary values, or support tool functionality. Whether WebUtils uses these storage methods can depend on the specific tool and how it is implemented.
To avoid confusion
Tool processing in your browser
Some tool functions may run locally on your device to produce outputs from the information you enter. This is different from cookies or storage.
Cookies and browser storage
These are technologies that can store or read small pieces of information on your device — to support functionality, preferences, security, measurement, or advertising.
Third-party services
If third-party services are enabled (for example, advertising or analytics), they may collect or receive information through their own technologies, subject to their policies.
§6 Advertising and cookies
WebUtils may display advertisements or accept advertising placements. If advertising services are enabled, advertising providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, or similar technologies on WebUtils.my to:
- Deliver advertisements
- Measure advertising performance (for example, views or clicks)
- Limit repeated display of the same advertisement
- Detect invalid traffic, fraud, or abuse
- Personalize advertisements where permitted, depending on your settings and applicable law
Advertisements displayed on WebUtils do not necessarily mean that WebUtils endorses the advertised product, service, or provider.
§7 Third-party services
Depending on the services enabled on WebUtils, third parties may set or read their own cookies or similar technologies. These services may include categories such as:
- Advertising providers
- Analytics providers
- Security and anti-abuse providers
- Embedded content providers
- Other technical service providers that help operate or improve the website
When third-party services are used, those providers may process information (including cookie-related information) under their own privacy and cookie policies. WebUtils encourages you to review relevant third-party policies when you interact with third-party features or content.
§8 Consent and cookie choices
Cookie rules differ by location, and some cookies may require your consent before they are placed or used. This typically applies to non-essential cookies, such as certain analytics or advertising technologies.
Where required by applicable law, WebUtils may provide cookie choices or consent controls. In some cases, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where legally permitted because they are essential to provide the service you request or to keep the website secure.
If cookie controls are offered, they may allow you to accept or reject certain categories of cookies, subject to legal and technical limitations. Your choices may also be affected by your browser settings and any device-level privacy controls.
§9 How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Block cookies
Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
Delete existing
Remove cookies already stored by your browser.
Allow specific sites
Allow cookies only for websites you trust.
Set preferences
Configure how cookies are handled generally.
If you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of WebUtils may not work as intended. For example, certain preferences might not be remembered, and some features may not load correctly if they rely on cookies or similar technologies that you have disabled.
§10 Do Not Track and similar browser signals
Some browsers provide privacy signals and settings, such as "Do Not Track" or other controls that can limit tracking. How such signals are interpreted can vary. WebUtils may not respond to all browser signals in the same way across all visitors, and third-party services integrated into the site may respond according to their own policies and technical capabilities.
You can often use browser privacy settings to limit third-party cookies and similar technologies, regardless of whether a specific signal is recognized.
§11 International visitors and privacy laws
WebUtils.my may be accessed by visitors from many countries and regions. Cookie and tracking requirements can differ depending on where you are located and which laws apply. Your rights and choices may vary, and certain cookie notices or consent options may be presented to you based on your location and the technologies in use.
Having a Cookie Policy is not, by itself, a guarantee of legal compliance. Compliance depends on factors such as what technologies are used, how they are configured, and which laws apply in a given situation.
§12 Relationship with the Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy should be read together with the WebUtils Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains, in broader terms, how personal information may be handled. This Cookie Policy focuses specifically on cookies and similar technologies.
§13 Changes to this Cookie Policy
WebUtils may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Updates may be made for reasons such as changes to the website's tools or features, the addition or removal of services (including advertising or analytics), changes in cookie technologies, or changes in legal or regulatory requirements.
When this Cookie Policy is updated, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" line.
