Privacy & Cookies

123 Toolbox is built to be private by default. The tools run entirely in your browser — the files, text, and images you work with are processed on your device and are not uploaded to our servers. There are no accounts, no logins, and we do not sell or share your data.

This page describes what the site stores and the few third parties it contacts. It is general information, not legal advice.

Cookies

The site uses a single, strictly functional cookie:

  • tb-locale — remembers your language (English or Khmer) so the right version of a page can be served on your next visit. It stores only en or km, lasts up to one year, and contains no personal data or tracking identifier.

We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand which tools are used, in aggregate. By its design it is cookieless and does not store persistent personal identifiers about you.

We also use Databuddy to measure visits, page speed (Core Web Vitals), errors, and clicks on links to other websites (the address without its query string, and the link's text), and to record session replays that help us find pages that are confusing or broken. It does not use cookies; it keeps a random visitor ID in your browser's storage. Replays hide all page text and everything you type, and the work area of every tool is left out of replays completely, so the files, images, and text you use in a tool are not recorded.

Local storage on your device

To make the tools convenient, the site keeps some settings in your browser's local storage. Apart from the analytics visitor ID described above, this stays on your device, is never sent to a server, and you can clear it any time from your browser settings. It includes things like:

  • your language / bilingual mode preference;
  • per-tool settings and recently used values so a tool reopens where you left off;
  • favourites, recently opened tools, and a local usage count used to suggest tools;
  • the watermark on/off preference for exported files.

Third-party resources

A few tools load resources from third parties, so using those specific tools sends a request to the provider (for example, your IP address, as with any web request):

  • map tools load map tiles from providers such as OpenStreetMap, OpenFreeMap, CARTO, or Esri;
  • some tools fetch web fonts or on-device AI models from a public CDN the first time they run;
  • the site is hosted on Vercel, which processes standard request logs.

The content you put into a tool is still processed locally — only the resource (a map tile, a font, a model file) is fetched.

Questions

The project is open source. You can review exactly what the code does, or raise a question, on GitHub.
