Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to the site owners, and enhance the user experience.

Cookies serve various purposes: they can remember your preferences, help you navigate between pages efficiently, keep you signed in, and provide anonymized tracking data to help site owners understand how visitors interact with their content.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers, embedded videos, or social media plugins ("third-party cookies").

2. How Webtoz Uses Cookies

We use cookies on webtoz.com for the following purposes:

• Essential functionality: To enable core website features such as page navigation, secure form submissions, and access to protected areas. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off.
• Analytics and performance: To understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, what content they engage with, and where they come from. This helps us improve our content and user experience.
• Preferences: To remember your choices (such as your cookie consent preferences) so we can respect them on future visits.
• Marketing (if applicable): To deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We currently use minimal marketing cookies, and any such usage will be clearly disclosed.

We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information without your explicit consent. The data collected through cookies is either anonymized or pseudonymized.
