Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 15, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Free Online No Sign Up ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit the site. We use cookies for functional preferences, site analytics (Google Analytics), and advertising (Google AdSense).
By using the site, you agree to our use of cookies and local storage as described in this policy. You can manage or clear these at any time through your browser settings.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide site owners with basic usage information.
Cookies can be "session cookies", which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies", which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Websites can also use browser local storage, which works similarly to persistent cookies but is managed separately by your browser.
Cookies we use
Functional cookies (always active)
These cookies are set only when you interact with site features such as switching to dark mode or enabling an accessibility option. They are not set on your first visit.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme | Stores your preferred colour scheme (light or dark mode). | 1 year |
| a11y-prefs | Stores your accessibility preferences (larger text, higher contrast, reduce motion, underline links). | 1 year |
Analytics cookies (requires consent)
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. These cookies are only set in full after you provide consent. Without consent, Google Analytics operates in cookieless mode and only collects anonymous, aggregate data.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated ID. Used to calculate visitor and session counts. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state. | 2 years |
Advertising cookies (requires consent)
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense may set cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing activity. These cookies are only used after you provide consent.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| IDE | Used by Google DoubleClick to register and report user actions after viewing or clicking an ad, for measuring effectiveness and showing relevant ads. | 1 year |
| DSID | Used to identify a signed-in Google user to show personalised ads across sites. | 2 weeks |
| test_cookie | Set by Google to check if the user's browser supports cookies. | Session |
Google may set additional cookies not listed here. For a full list, see the Google cookies policy.
Local storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to hold temporary state for certain tools — for example, to remember the last unit selection or input value within a session. This data:
- Is stored only in your browser and never transmitted to our servers
- Contains no personally identifiable information
- Persists until you clear your browser storage or the data expires
You can clear local storage at any time through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.
Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies on this site are set by Google (Analytics and AdSense). These are described in the cookies table above. We do not integrate with social media platforms or other ad networks.
The Inter typeface used on this site is loaded from rsms.me. This is a standard font file request and does not set cookies. Your browser may log the request in its network activity, and the font host may record the request IP as part of normal server operation.
Managing cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser settings
All modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can also configure your browser to block cookies entirely or notify you when a site attempts to set one. Note that blocking functional cookies may affect your experience — for example, your theme preference will not be remembered between visits.
Clearing site data
To remove all cookies and local storage set by this site, use your browser's "Clear site data" or "Clear browsing data" option and select cookies and site data for this domain. This resets all saved preferences to their defaults.
Browser-specific guidance
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new tools that use cookies differently. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
