Cookies and Local Storage

Last updated: September 14, 2026

NZTool (nztool.com) may use cookies, LocalStorage, SessionStorage and other browser storage technologies to keep the website working properly, save tool settings and improve the user experience.

1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data stored by a website in your browser.

NZTool may use necessary cookies to support normal website operation, including:

  • Maintaining necessary session state
  • Saving required website settings
  • Supporting security features
  • Preventing abnormal requests or abuse
  • Improving the user experience

Cookies generally cannot directly read other files or data on your device.

2. What Is LocalStorage?

LocalStorage is a browser feature that allows websites to store a small amount of data on your device.

Some NZTool tools may use LocalStorage to save tool settings or preferences, such as:

  • Tool parameters
  • Input modes
  • Page settings
  • Recently used options
  • Practice or tool state
  • Other information that makes future use more convenient

This data is normally stored in your own browser.

3. What Is SessionStorage?

SessionStorage is similar to LocalStorage, but its data generally remains available only during the current browser tab session.

Some tools may use SessionStorage to temporarily preserve the current operation state and prevent accidental loss of settings.

The related data is normally cleared by the browser after the tab is closed.

4. Local Processing by Tools

Some NZTool tools can process data directly in your browser.

When local processing is supported, text, images, files or videos can be processed directly on your device without uploading them to NZTool servers.

This may include:

  • Text processing tools
  • Image processing tools
  • Hash calculation tools
  • Encoding and decoding tools
  • File processing tools
  • Video and subtitle tools
  • Developer tools

Whether a particular tool uses local processing depends on its actual implementation and the information provided on the tool page.

5. Server-Side Processing

Not all tools can run entirely in the browser.

Some functions may require server-side processing, third-party APIs or network requests and may therefore send the data required to perform the requested operation to a server or relevant service.

For these functions, we aim to minimize the amount of data transmitted and process only what is necessary to provide the requested feature.

If a tool involves file uploads, API requests or other server-side processing, please review the relevant information on the tool page before using it.

6. Local Storage Does Not Read Other Files on Your Device

LocalStorage, SessionStorage and cookies are different from ordinary files stored on your computer.

A website cannot use these storage mechanisms alone to read other files on your device.

When you actively select a file and grant the webpage access, the website may read the selected file according to the tool’s functionality.

7. How to Clear This Data

You can clear NZTool cookies and website data through your browser settings.

The process usually involves:

Browser settings → Privacy and security → Site data / Cookies → Find nztool.com → Delete

The exact location may differ between browsers.

After clearing website data, saved tool settings, preferences or state may return to their default values.

8. Third-Party Services

Some website functions may use third-party services such as CDNs, analytics services, APIs or other infrastructure.

These services may use their own cookies or technologies and process data according to their own privacy policies.

The specific data practices of third-party services are controlled by their respective providers.

9. Privacy Protection

NZTool prioritizes browser-based local processing where practical to reduce unnecessary data transmission.

We do not require users to provide personal information that is unrelated to the normal use of website tools.

For sensitive content, users should assess the risks before using any online service and should avoid submitting unnecessary passwords, API keys, identity documents, bank card information or other sensitive data.

10. Updates

This page may be updated as website features, technical solutions or applicable laws and regulations change.

Updated information will be published on this page and the displayed update date will apply.

If you have questions about cookies, local storage or data processing, you may contact us through the contact information provided on the website.
