Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Online Pulse uses cookies and similar technologies.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

2. Cookies Used Right Now

We currently use essential storage needed for website operation and consent preferences. We also use an essential anonymous vote-session cookie to enforce one vote per tool per visitor, keep vote state stable across refreshes, and protect ranking integrity.

The vote-session cookie does not store your name or email and is used only for voting/session integrity. We do not enable non-essential analytics or advertising cookies by default.

3. Future Non-Essential Cookies

As traffic grows, we may enable analytics and advertising services (including Google AdSense or affiliate tracking). These categories will only run after user consent where required.

4. Third-Party Cookies

If future services are enabled, those providers may set their own cookies and process data according to their policies.

5. Consent Management

We provide a consent banner that allows accepting all, rejecting non-essential cookies, or setting category preferences. You can change your choice at any time from the cookie settings control.

6. Managing Cookies In Browser

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site behavior.

7. Updates

We may update this policy if technologies, legal requirements, or monetization features change.
