Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 August 2026

Overview

Maverick Tools ("we", "us") provides free, browser-based utilities such as the SHA-256 generator, JWT decoder, aspect ratio calculator, timezone converter, and Unix timestamp converter. Every tool runs entirely client-side — the text, tokens, or numbers you enter into a tool are processed in your own browser and are never sent to, or stored on, our servers.

This page explains the cookies used on this site and how you can control them, in line with the UK/EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What cookies do we use?

We group cookies into three categories. You choose which optional categories to allow via the cookie banner or the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

Necessary

Always on. Used to remember your cookie consent choice itself. Without this, we can't respect your preference between visits.

Analytics

Only if you consent. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage (e.g. which tools are popular) so we can improve the site. Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_*.

Advertising

Only if you consent. We use Google AdSense to show ads that help keep these tools free. If you don't consent, ads may still appear but won't be personalized based on cookies, and advertising cookies won't be set.

Google Consent Mode

This site uses Google's Consent Mode. Analytics and advertising cookies default to denied until you actively accept them. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and applied on every page.

Managing or withdrawing consent

You can change your mind at any time. Click the button below, or use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page, to reopen the preference center and update or withdraw your consent.

You can also block or delete cookies using your browser's own settings — see your browser's help pages for instructions. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how well the site remembers your preferences.

Other data we don't collect

Third parties

Google Analytics and Google AdSense are operated by Google. For details on how Google processes data, see Google's own Privacy & Terms at policies.google.com/privacy.
