Local Storage and Preferences
In addition to cookies, FiberTools uses your browser's localStorage to save preferences like your preferred unit system (yards vs. meters) and dark mode setting. This data never leaves your device and is not shared with anyone.
Essential vs. Non-Essential Cookies
Essential: FiberTools does not use any cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function. All tools work without cookies.
Non-essential (analytics & advertising): Google Analytics and, if enabled after approval, AdSense cookies are non-essential. We request your consent before downloading their scripts or allowing their storage. You can withdraw consent at any time through the Privacy choices link in the footer.
Google Consent Mode v2
We use a prior-consent setup with Google Consent Mode v2, which means:
- Before you consent, FiberTools does not download Google Analytics or advertising scripts
- After you consent, full analytics and ad personalization cookies are enabled
- If you decline, the scripts are not loaded and no Google tracking cookies are set by FiberTools
How to Manage Cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Privacy choices: Use the consent banner when you first visit, or the Privacy choices link in the footer later, to allow or decline non-essential cookies
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu
- Google opt-out: Visit Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Ad personalization: Visit Google Ad Settings to manage personalized ads
