Cookie details and browser settings guide
Read moreThis long-form section explains what cookies are, why a website might use them, and how you can control them. Anku AI Tools aims to keep core workflows usable even without cookies, while still supporting basic preferences and reliability improvements where needed.
What cookies are (simple explanation)
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by your browser. Websites use them to remember preferences, maintain sessions (when sign-in exists), and understand aggregate usage patterns.
Cookies are not programs and cannot directly read files from your device. They are typically used for lightweight state like settings, identifiers, or analytics signals.
Many modern websites also use local storage or other browser storage mechanisms for similar purposes.
- Cookies are stored in the browser, per site/domain.
- They can store small text values (not large files).
- Used for preferences, sessions, analytics, and security signals.
Why a tool site might use cookies
A tool site may use cookies to remember user preferences (for example, last-used settings) and to measure aggregate usage patterns that help improve performance and reliability.
Security-related cookies may help prevent abuse and keep the site stable. Analytics cookies may help identify which tools are most useful or where users face friction, so pages can be improved.
If you prefer not to use cookies, you can block or clear them. Core tool workflows should still function, but optional UX improvements may not persist.
- Preferences: remember UI settings
- Analytics: improve performance and UX
- Security: abuse prevention signals (where applicable)
- Reliability: error monitoring and debugging
How to control cookies (practical steps)
You can control cookies directly from your browser settings. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies for a specific website.
If you clear cookies, some preferences may reset. That’s normal. The simplest approach is to clear site data only for this domain if you want to keep other sites unchanged.
If you experience issues after blocking cookies, try enabling cookies for the site temporarily and reloading the page.
- Block all cookies (strongest privacy, may reduce convenience).
- Block third-party cookies (common default setting).
- Clear site data for this domain only.
- Reload the page after changing settings.
Indexable pages note
Policy pages like this are public and indexable. They exist for transparency and to explain expectations clearly.
If you want to browse all public pages and tools, use the sitemap page which lists categories, tools and important pages in one place.
