Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy for www.itqantools.com

This policy complements our Privacy Policy. For personal data and GDPR rights, see the Privacy Policy; for cookie types, consent, and advertising details, you are in the right place.

This page explains how Itqan (www.itqantools.com) uses cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described below. These technologies may allow us to access or store information on your device while you browse — for example, to remember your language or measure ad performance after you consent.

For clarity, we use the term “Trackers” in this policy to cover cookies and similar identifiers. When we specifically mean browser cookies, we refer to them as cookies.

Some technologies require your consent before activation. You may withdraw consent at any time via the consent bar or the “Manage cookie preferences” button on this page.

Itqan uses both first-party Trackers (managed by us) and third-party Trackers when services such as Google AdSense are enabled. Cookie lifetimes vary by our settings or the provider’s settings; some expire when your browsing session ends.

How Itqan uses Trackers

Necessary

We use strictly technical cookies and similar tools to operate the site and deliver the tools you request. Without them, some core features may not work.

Trackers managed by Itqan

PHP session (PHPSESSID)

Keeps your browsing session while using tools that require temporary server-side processing (such as file uploads or multi-step workflows).

Data processed: a random session identifier.

Duration: browsing session or up to about one hour.

Consent: not required — essential for service delivery.
Language preference (itqan_lang)

Stores your interface language preference so you do not need to select it on every visit.

Data processed: language code (e.g. ar or en).

Duration: up to 365 days.

Consent: not required — essential for usability.
Consent preference (itqan_consent)

Records your choice in the cookie consent bar (accept all, essential only, or custom ads/analytics).

Data processed: stored choice value (e.g. all, essential, or custom:ads,analytics).

Duration: 365 days.

Consent: no additional consent required — needed to apply your decision.

Measurement

With your consent, we may use Trackers to measure visits and understand tool usage in an aggregated, non-personal way to improve performance and content. If you do not consent, these remain disabled via Google Consent Mode v2.

Trackers that may be enabled with your consent

Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) — when enabled

A web analytics service we may use to understand visitor counts and popular pages. Google processes usage data under the Google Business Data Privacy Policy.

Data processed: session statistics, device and browser type, pages visited — in aggregate.

Place of processing: EU / US — Privacy Policy — Opt out.

Example durations: _ga (about 2 years), _ga_* (about 2 years).

Consent: required — you can refuse via the consent bar or manage button above.

Marketing

When you consent to advertising cookies, we use Trackers to deliver Google AdSense ads and measure their performance. Without consent, Google may show limited or non-personalized ads under its policies.

Third-party Trackers

Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited)
An advertising service that displays ads on www.itqantools.com. Publisher ID: pub-2979480872562505. Google may use DoubleClick cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads that may reflect your interests and measure interaction.

Manage personalized ads at Google Ads Settings. See also How Google uses data on partner sites and Google Business Data.

Data processed: cookies, ad identifiers, aggregated usage data.

Place of processing: Ireland / US — Privacy Policy.

Examples of cookies Google may set:
- IDE — about 2 years
- __gads / __gpi — about 2 years
- _gcl_au / _gcl_aw — about 3 months
- test_cookie — about 15 minutes
- NID — about 6 months
Consent: required in privacy-regulated regions (such as the EEA).
Google Drive & Dropbox — when you choose cloud upload/save

Some tools let you optionally upload from or save to Google Drive or Dropbox. When you use these options, Google or Dropbox may set their own cookies under their policies.

Consent: occurs when you sign in or approve the provider’s dialog — separate from Itqan’s consent bar.

See Google Privacy and Dropbox Privacy.

How to manage preferences on this site

You can set or update preferences at any time via:

The consent bar on your first visit (Accept all · Essential only · Manage).
The “Manage cookie preferences” button at the top of this page.
The Cookies link in the site footer.

For third-party Trackers, you may also use opt-out links in their policies or contact them directly.

Control via browser settings

Through your browser you can:

See which cookies are stored on your device;
Block cookies or similar technologies;
Delete cookies from the browser.

Note: browser settings usually do not offer granular control by category (ads vs analytics), which is why we provide an in-site consent bar.

Guides for common browsers:

On mobile, you can also adjust ad preferences in system settings (e.g. Android ad settings or iOS App Tracking).

Opt out of interest-based advertising

In addition to Itqan’s consent bar, you may use independent initiatives such as:

Consequences of refusing non-essential cookies

You are free to refuse non-essential cookies. In that case:

Core tools continue to work (session, language, file processing).
Personalized ads may not be shown or may be limited.
We may not fully measure site usage to improve it.

We will not block access to the site because you refused optional cookies.

Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2 so advertising and analytics cookies remain denied by default until you choose. When you accept, we update consent signals (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, analytics_storage) according to your choice — helping us comply with GDPR and Google AdSense requirements in the EEA.
