The short version

The short version

ToolNest is here to solve life’s little problems, not create new privacy ones.

We aim to collect as little information as reasonably necessary to operate the website. Some third-party services used to host, understand and support the site may process technical information, and advertising services such as Google AdSense may use cookies or similar technologies.

This page explains what that means.

Technical information may also be processed automatically when you visit the website. This can include information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate location derived from your connection and referral information.

This information may be processed by the services used to host, secure, analyse or monetise ToolNest.
