What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings. Related technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which store data in your browser without sending it to any server.

Third-Party Cookies
ToolRux does not use any advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies. We do not sell or share your data with advertisers.
Tool-Specific Local Storage
Some tools store data in your browser's localStorage to preserve your settings between sessions:
- Social Calendar — planned posts and content schedule
- Kanban Board — board columns and task cards
- Habit Tracker — tracked habits and streaks
- Expense Tracker — expense entries and budgets
- Scratchpad — your saved notes
- Eisenhower Matrix — task priorities
This data is stored only in your browser and never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser data will remove it.
