This Cookie Policy explains how Free AI Tools Hub (free-ai-tools-hub.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the website owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember your preferences or actions over time — for example, which pages you visited, which settings you selected, or whether you are logged in. Cookies cannot access other information stored on your device, and they do not contain executable code or viruses.
There are two main types of cookies based on how long they last:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you delete them manually). They help us recognise you when you return to our website.
2. How We Use Cookies
Free AI Tools Hub uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- Ensure our website functions correctly and delivers content efficiently
- Remember your preferences, such as your cookie consent choice
- Analyse how visitors use our site so we can improve our tools and services
- Understand which AI tools are most popular and how people interact with them
- Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive behaviour
- Deliver relevant advertisements (where applicable, via third-party ad services)
We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information without your explicit consent, and we never sell cookie data to third parties.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The table below describes the categories of cookies we use and their purpose:
| Cookie Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for the website to function. These cannot be disabled — they include cookies for cookie consent records and session management. | Session / Up to 1 year |
| Performance & Analytics | Help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous information, such as pages visited and time spent on tools. | Up to 2 years |
| Functionality | Remember choices you make (e.g., preferred tool settings, theme) to provide a more personalised experience on return visits. | Up to 1 year |
| Advertising / Targeting | Used by third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) to show relevant ads based on your browsing interest. We do not control these directly. | Up to 2 years |
Strictly Necessary cookies are always active and cannot be opted out of, as they are essential for the basic functioning of our website — such as remembering your cookie consent preference.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We may allow certain third-party services to set cookies on your device when you visit Free AI Tools Hub. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we recommend reviewing them:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and user behaviour. Google may set analytics cookies. You can opt out via Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Google AdSense: We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to personalise ads based on your browsing history. You can manage ad preferences at Google Ad Settings.
- Font & CDN Services: We load fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Cloudflare CDN. These services may set performance-related cookies to optimise delivery.
We do not have control over third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of these providers for more information on how they use your data.
5. Managing Your Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary ones). You can manage cookies in the following ways:
Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Here are links to cookie management instructions for major browsers:
Please note: Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Some features or tools may not work as expected if essential cookies are blocked.
Opt-Out of Analytics: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Opt-Out of Personalised Ads: You can manage your personalised ad preferences through the Your Online Choices platform or via Google Ad Settings.
6. Cookie Consent
When you first visit Free AI Tools Hub, you will be shown a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. This banner allows you to:
- Accept All Cookies: Allows all categories of cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies.
- Decline Non-Essential Cookies: Only strictly necessary cookies will be set. Analytics and advertising cookies will not be used.
Your choice is saved in a cookie on your device so that we remember your preference on future visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our site, which will prompt the consent banner to appear again.
Your cookie consent preference is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or shared with any third party. This preference cookie itself is strictly necessary to remember your choice.
7. Data Retention
Different cookies have different lifespans. Below is a general guide to how long cookies set by Free AI Tools Hub or our partners may persist:
- Session Cookies: Automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Consent Cookie: Stored for up to 12 months, so you are not shown the consent banner on every visit.
- Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): Retained for up to 26 months as per Google's default settings.
- Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Typically retained for up to 13 months.
You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, which will immediately remove them from your device regardless of their set expiry date.
