Privacy policy
Effective 2026-11-15. This policy covers webmasterbench.com (the "site").
The tools
Every tool on this site runs as JavaScript in your browser. Text you paste and files you open (robots.txt files, sitemaps, HTML, HTTP headers, server logs and so on) are processed on your device. They are not sent to us or to anyone else, and we cannot see them.
What we store on your device
If you use the light/dark switch, your choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the key theme. It never leaves your device. We set no cookies of our own.
Analytics
We do not use analytics or tracking scripts.
Hosting
The site is served by Cloudflare. To deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, Cloudflare processes technical data about each request, such as your IP address, the page requested, your browser's user agent and the time. Cloudflare acts as our service provider; see Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Advertising
The site shows, or may show, advertising served by Google AdSense in spaces marked "Advertisement".
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices.
- Google may also allow other certified ad networks to serve ads through AdSense; they too may use cookies. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be asked for your consent before cookies or personal data are used for advertising. The consent message is provided by Google, a certified consent management platform under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the "Privacy and cookie settings" link that the message adds to the page. If you do not consent, you may still see non-personalised ads.
Links to other sites
Some pages link to other websites, including specifications, Google's documentation and our paid tools on Apify. Their own privacy policies apply there.
If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply and to fix what you report, and we delete the correspondence when it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Because we do not collect personal data through the tools, there is usually nothing of yours that we hold. For questions, or to exercise rights you have under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA, write to contact@webmasterbench.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
