FreeDevKit does not display advertisements and does not use any advertising or tracking cookies from third-party ad networks. We do not share data with advertisers.

4. Managing Cookies

You have several options to manage or disable cookies:

  • Cookie consent banner — Use our consent banner (shown on first visit) to accept or decline analytics cookies.
  • Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies. Visit your browser's help documentation for instructions.
  • Google Analytics Opt-out — Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent data collection across all websites.

Note: Disabling cookies may affect your experience. The theme preference cookie (fdk-color-mode) uses localStorage, not traditional cookies, and cannot be blocked by cookie controls alone.
