Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Toolbox collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our online tools and services.
Cookies We Use
Toolbox itself sets the following cookies on your device. Storage used by Yandex Metrica is listed separately below:
- theme — Stores your dark/light mode preference. This is an essential cookie required for proper site rendering.
- roundMode, roundPrecision — Store your rounding preferences for converter tools. These are optional preference cookies.
- cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent choice. Essential for compliance.
Analytics
The website uses the Yandex Metrica web analytics service. The tag starts automatically when the website is opened and sends Yandex information about the visit and interactions with the interface.
Purposes of processing
The data is used to measure traffic, identify referral sources, analyze how sections and tools are used, detect technical issues, and improve the interface. The website also sends events for section views, internal navigation, form submissions, and primary button clicks without the values entered in fields.
Data received by Metrica
Metrica may receive the IP address, page URL and title, referral source, visit date and time, browser identifiers, browser, operating system, device, language, time zone, screen and window size, JavaScript and cookie availability, and information about clicks, scrolling, navigation, and form submissions.
Session Replay (Webvisor) is enabled to analyze interactions on the website. Tool areas containing inputs and results, as well as the feedback form, are excluded from session recordings and click maps; search input is masked. The website's custom events also exclude field values, search queries, and feedback text.
Controller and processor
The owner of Toolbox determines the purposes for which Metrica is used and acts as the personal data controller. Yandex LLC (16 Leo Tolstoy Street, Moscow 119021, Russia) processes data on the website owner's instructions as a personal data processor. You can contact the owner of Toolbox at toolbox-service@mail.ru.
Cookies, local storage, and retention periods
Metrica uses cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage. The actual set depends on the browser, region, and tag settings. The main periods include:
- _ym_uid and related visitor identifiers — generally up to 1 year; they are used to distinguish browsers and visits.
- _ym_metrika_enabled — up to 60 minutes, _ym_isad — up to 20 hours, and _ym_visorc_* — up to 30 minutes; some technical records last only for the visit or browser session.
- the technical gdpr and is_gdpr cookies — up to 2 years; certain identifiers on Yandex domains may last for 1 year or longer in some countries.
The retention period for analytics data in Yandex systems is determined by the tag settings, service terms, and Yandex policies. Browser cookies and storage records are deleted by the browser when their applicable period expires or may be replaced on a later visit.
How to restrict collection
You can delete or block cookies and website data in your browser settings, disable third-party cookies, or use an extension that blocks Yandex Metrica. Blocking may reduce analytics accuracy but does not restrict the core Toolbox tools.

Data Collection
Calculations, conversions, generation, and file processing run in your browser; values entered into tools and selected files are not sent to the Toolbox server. When the feedback form is submitted, its selected category and voluntarily entered text are sent to the server. Analytics data is processed separately through Yandex Metrica as described above.
