Bing Webmaster Tools uses a verification tag in the site's code and may set cookies or collect data when Bing's crawler indexes the site. This data is governed by Microsoft's privacy policy, available at privacy.microsoft.com.

I use this tool solely to improve the site's visibility in search engines and to ensure the site is indexed correctly. No personally identifiable visitor data is shared with Microsoft through this tool.
