Last updated: January 15, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Toolanta Agency(“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website.

Introduction
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. By continuing to use our website, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy.
If you do not agree with our use of cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies), you may decline non-essential cookies via our cookie banner, your browser settings, or the Global Privacy Control signal described below.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit it. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you return to the site or navigate from page to page.
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we use to operate, analyze, or improve our website (third-party cookies). Similar technologies include local storage, web beacons, pixels, and tracking pixels — references to “cookies” in this policy include all of these.

Global Privacy Control & Do Not Track
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. GPC is a technical specification that lets you communicate your privacy preferences — such as opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information — across websites using a single browser setting. If we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will automatically treat it as a valid opt-out for all non-essential cookies and any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable laws (including CCPA/CPRA).
We also respect the legacy Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal, where supported.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the technologies we deploy, or applicable laws.
