Privacy Policy
Anything you type, paste or open in a Toolbench tool stays in your browser and is never sent to this site or anyone else. The site does use analytics, and may show Google ads, which use cookies as described below.
Last updated November 10, 2026. This policy covers tools.samcbarth.com, run by Sam Barth.
What data do the tools collect?
None. Tools process your input with JavaScript on your device. Files you open are read by your browser only. The robots.txt and sitemap checker can ask a website you name for its public file directly from your browser; that request goes to that website, not to Toolbench.
What do analytics collect?
The site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used. These tools set cookies and collect details such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived. They do not receive what you enter into a tool.
Does this site show ads?
The site may show ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalized ads in Google's Ads Settings, and learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Affiliate links
This site does not currently use affiliate links. If it adds any, they will be labeled on the page and this policy will be updated.
What is stored on your device?
Your light or dark theme choice is saved in your browser's local storage. Analytics and ad cookies are described above. You can clear both in your browser settings at any time.
Your choices
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
