Cookie policy

Last updated: May 9, 2026

The Color Tools uses a small number of first-party cookies and similar technologies. This page lists each one and explains your choices.

Strictly necessary

Used to authenticate you and remember settings essential to using The Color Tools. These cannot be turned off.

  • nt_session — your sign-in session, scoped to .thecolortools.com
  • nt_csrf — CSRF protection token
  • colortools-theme (localStorage) — your light/dark theme preference

Analytics

Optional. Help us understand which features get used and where people get stuck. Declined by default in EU/UK; opt-in elsewhere via the cookie banner.

  • ph_* (PostHog) — anonymous product analytics

Functional

Used to remember UI choices that aren't essential.

  • nt_dismissed_* — dismissed banners and tooltips
  • nt_recent_palettes — recent items shown on the dashboard

Marketing

The Color Tools does not use third-party marketing or advertising cookies. We do not track you across sites.

Your controls

You can manage cookie preferences via the cookie banner at the bottom of any page. You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings — but blocking nt_session will sign you out.
