Cookie Policy

Last Updated: August 6, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners.

2. How ForgeKit Uses Cookies

ForgeKit uses a minimal number of cookies and local storage entries to enhance your experience:

Essential / Functional Cookies

  • Theme Preference (forgekit_theme): Remembers your light/dark mode selection so the site loads with your preferred theme.
  • Editor Theme (forgekit_editor_theme): Stores your preferred code editor color scheme.
  • Cookie Consent (forgekit_cookie_consent): Records that you have acknowledged our cookie notice so it does not reappear on every visit.

These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function as expected. They do not track you or collect personal information.

Local Storage

ForgeKit uses your browser's localStorage to save application state such as recently used tools, favorite tools, and UI preferences. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to any server.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Google AdSense

ForgeKit uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to ForgeKit and other websites on the internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to display relevant advertisements to you.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

Google Analytics

ForgeKit uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited, how long users stay, and which tools are most popular. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information anonymously. No personally identifiable information is collected.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Managing and Deleting Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here is how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of ForgeKit (for example, your theme preference may not be remembered).
