Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 22, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how MettavisaraToolsOnline.com ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our Website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and serve relevant advertising.
Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage (to remember your cookie-consent choice) and web beacons (used by analytics tools to count page visits).
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons:
- To make our Website function correctly (for example, remembering that you accepted this cookie notice)
- To help us understand how our Website is used, through anonymised analytics
- To enable advertising partners such as Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements
- To protect against fraud and abuse
3. Types of Cookies We Use
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies / Local Storage
These are essential for the Website to function properly. For example, we use a small entry in your browser's local storage to remember that you have dismissed the cookie consent banner.
b) Analytics Cookies
We may use Google Analytics or similar services to collect information about how visitors use our Website. These cookies help us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors move through the site, and whether any errors occur.
c) Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Website. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
4. Specific Cookies We Use
The table below gives an overview of the most common cookies and similar technologies you may encounter on our site. This list is not exhaustive and may change as third-party tools update their implementations.

You have several options for controlling cookies:
- Browser settings — All modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies. Check your browser's Help section for instructions. Blocking all cookies may affect your ability to use some parts of the Website.

- Industry opt-out tools — You can opt out of many third-party advertising networks at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.

6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Because there is no universally agreed standard on how to interpret DNT signals, our Website does not currently respond to them. However, you can still control tracking using the opt-out methods described above.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
