What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit websites. They contain information that websites can read when you return, allowing them to remember your preferences and behaviour. Cookies are essential to modern web functionality and are used by virtually all websites to enhance user experience, track performance, and deliver personalised content.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several types of cookies on NetToolReviewLab. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, enabling navigation and access to secure areas. Performance cookies (analytics cookies) track how visitors use our website, measuring traffic patterns and page performance. Preference cookies remember your settings, such as language and layout choices. Marketing cookies track your behaviour to deliver targeted advertisements and content recommendations relevant to your interests.
Essential/Functional Cookies
These cookies are required for basic website functionality and cannot be disabled. They enable features such as secure login, form submission, and session management. Examples include cookies that remember your consent preferences and cookies that prevent fraud. Without these cookies, the website would not function properly, and certain services would be unavailable.

We use analytics cookies (primarily from Google Analytics) to collect anonymised data about how users interact with our website. These cookies track metrics such as pages visited, time spent on pages, bounce rates, and click patterns. This information helps us understand user behaviour, identify popular content, fix technical issues, and optimise overall website performance. Data is stored securely and accessed only by authorised staff.
