Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how xtoolstack.com uses them, and how you can control them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it. Some cookies are set by the site you visit (“first-party cookies”) and some are set by other services that appear on the page (“third-party cookies”).

Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They handle things like page caching, security tokens, and session management. You cannot opt out of these because the site will not work properly without them.

LiteSpeed Cache: Stores cache-related preferences to speed up page loading.
WordPress: Session cookies for logged-in users and form submissions (e.g., comment and contact form tokens).
Really Simple SSL: Tracks whether the SSL redirect has been applied.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are popular, and where traffic comes from.

Google Analytics (via MonsterInsights): Sets cookies including _ga (lasts 2 years), _ga_* (lasts 2 years), and _gid (lasts 24 hours) to distinguish visitors and track page views. Data is sent to Google and is pseudonymous (tied to a random identifier, not your name). You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
Jetpack (WordPress.com Stats): May set cookies (typically lasting up to 1 year) to track page views and site statistics.

Marketing and Third-Party Cookies

OptinMonster: Sets cookies to track whether you have seen or closed a popup, so it is not shown repeatedly.
All in One SEO: May set cookies related to site analytics and social sharing features.

Cookies Set by Our Products

Our software products (such as SpamSlayer) do not set cookies on this website. Any local storage used by our browser extensions is covered in the product-specific Privacy Policy and operates entirely within your browser.

How to Control Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you block or remove cookies. Here are links to instructions for common browsers:

Blocking certain cookies may affect how the site works for you.

Your Rights (GDPR, CCPA, and Other Regulations)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with cookie consent laws, non-essential cookies will only be set with your consent where required by law. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies from your browser or adjusting your preferences.

If you are a California resident, you have the right under the CCPA to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion. See our Privacy Policy for details on how to exercise those rights.
