Cookie policy

Last updated: 11 October 2026

This page lists what Palz Tools keeps in your browser: cookies, and the browser storage some tools use to remember things for you. It describes the site as it runs today and changes when the site does. How we handle personal data in general is in the privacy policy.

In short

• We don't set any cookies, and no analytics or advertising service that uses cookies is switched on.
• Some tools remember your settings and drafts in your browser's storage. That data stays on your device and is not sent to us.
• Pages you open are kept in your browser so the free calculators also work offline.
• You can delete all of it at any time from your browser settings.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to keep and send back with later requests.

• Ours: none. The tools work without cookies.
• Cloudflare (our host): Cloudflare can set a strictly necessary security cookie, such as __cf_bm or cf_clearance, when it checks that a visitor is a person and not a bot. These are used for security only. See Cloudflare's cookie list.
• Analytics without cookies: we count page views with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn't use cookies or other storage in your browser.

What the tools keep in your browser

Local storage, session storage and IndexedDB are parts of your browser where a page can keep data on your device. Unlike cookies, they are not sent along with your requests to our server. We use them only so tools can remember things for you:

• Your language: palz-lang keeps the language you picked, and palz-lang-dismissed that you said "No thanks" to the language suggestion (local storage, until you delete it).
• Games and daily puzzles: keys starting palz-game: keep today's progress and your stats, such as games played and streaks (local storage). Boards from earlier days are deleted automatically. The typing test keeps your best scores in palz:typing-best:v1.
• Drafts, so you don't have to type them again (local storage, until you delete them):
  • Online notepad: your note, saved as you type (palz:notepad:v1).
  • Word counter: your settings, and your text if "Keep my text" is on (palz:word-counter:v1).
  • Resume builder and CV maker: your draft and layout (resume.draft.v1, resume.settings.v1, cv.draft.v1, cv.settings.v1). The resume summary generator can add its summary to the resume draft.
  • Invoice generator: your business details, settings, logo and last invoice numbers, saved when you download (invoice.any.v1).
  • GST invoice generator: seller details and logo, saved when you download (invoice.seller.v1, invoice.seller.logo.v1).
  • Itinerary maker: your plan and paper size (itinerary.draft.v1, itinerary.paper.v1).
  • Org chart maker: your chart (palz-org-chart-v1).
  • Citation generator: your saved sources (palz:citations:v1).
• Tool settings and downloads (local storage, until you delete them):
  • Currency converter: the two currencies you picked (fx:pair) and the day's exchange rates, so they aren't downloaded again (fx:usd:v1).
  • Grammar checker: your English variety and the words you added to its dictionary (palz-grammar-dialect, palz-grammar-words), and a note that its engine was downloaded (palz-grammar-engine).
  • Image to text: the languages you picked (palz-ocr-langs, palz-ocr-have), and the language files it downloaded, kept in IndexedDB (keyval-store) so they aren't downloaded again.
• Short-lived hand-overs: when you send a picture from one image tool to the next, it is kept under palz-handoff-id (session storage) and in IndexedDB (palz-handoff) until the next tool opens it, then deleted. A picture that is never opened (say you close the tab first) stays until you next hand over a picture on this site, which deletes any left for more than 30 minutes. When a search finds no tool, the words you typed go to the request form in palz-wanted-draft (session storage) and are deleted when the form opens.

Offline copies of pages

The site has a service worker: a small script your browser runs for this site. It keeps the pages you open, and the scripts and styles they need (including ones a page loads later), in your browser's cache storage (names starting palz-), so the free calculators work without a connection after your first visit. It keeps at most 50 pages and drops the ones you opened longest ago. When you're online, pages load from the site and the saved copy is updated; the saved copy is shown only when you're offline or the site takes more than 4 seconds to answer. With Data Saver on, the only page it downloads by itself is the offline page it needs to start, so it keeps fewer pages. Nothing you type into a tool is saved in these copies.

How to remove or block them

• Delete everything: delete this site's data (tools.palz.co.in) in your browser settings. In Chrome and Edge on a computer, click the icon to the left of the address, open Site settings and choose Delete data. This removes cookies, saved drafts, settings and offline copies.
• Private window: everything is deleted when you close the window.
• Block them: the tools still work if you block cookies or site data; they just won't remember your drafts or choices, and pages won't be kept for offline use.
