1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
At Bing Info TOOL, we use cookies primarily to ensure our calculators, converters, and developer utilities function correctly and efficiently.
2. How We Use Cookies
Our use of cookies is categorized into four distinct areas to ensure you have granular control over your data:
Essential Operations
These cookies are critical for the security and stability of our platform. For instance, when you use our Password Generator or Hash Calculators, strict security cookies ensure that the session remains encrypted and isolated. Without these, the core services of the website would fail.
Tool State Management
Many of our tools, such as the EMI Calculator or Age Calculator, may use temporary local storage cookies to preserve your input if you accidentally refresh the page. This is done purely for user convenience and is not transmitted to external servers.
Performance Analysis
We use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) to measure traffic and usage trends. This helps us understand which tools are most popular (e.g., "Are more people using the JPG Converter or the PNG Converter?") and optimize our server resources accordingly.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site:
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google uses the DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times a specific ad is shown to you.
- Social Media Integration: Our site includes buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn that allow you to share results from our tools. These social media sites may set cookies through our site which may be used to enhance your profile on their site or contribute to the data they hold for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies.
4. Managing Your Preferences
You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Dashboard located at the top of this page. Furthermore, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org.
Please note that if you disable certain cookies, some functionalities of Bing Info TOOL (like saving your favorite color picker settings) may not work as intended.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
