Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember user preferences, maintain session state, and provide reporting information to site owners and advertisers.

In addition to standard cookies, web applications may utilize modern browser storage mechanisms such as local storage (localStorage). Throughout this policy, references to "cookies" include both HTTP cookies and local storage mechanisms.

2. Cookies We Use

TextSorter uses a minimal set of cookies and local storage items to provide our free utilities:

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies and local storage items are required for the basic functionality of TextSorter. These are purely functional and do not track you across other websites:

• Theme Preferences: Stored in your browser's localStorage (key: ts_theme) to preserve your dark or light mode preference between visits.
• Cookie Consent State: Stored in localStorage (key: ts_cookie_consent) to remember your cookie preferences and avoid showing the consent banner repeatedly.
• Editor History and State: Stored locally in your browser so you can resume your text work or retrieve recent conversions without losing your work.

Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements across our website, which allows us to keep our text tools completely free. Google AdSense sets advertising cookies (associated with domains such as google.com and doubleclick.net) to:

• Serve personalized ads based on your prior visits to TextSorter or other sites across the Internet.
• Implement frequency capping so that you do not see the same advertisement repeatedly.
• Detect and prevent click fraud and suspicious automated traffic.

Analytics Cookies

We use privacy-friendly analytics services, such as Vercel Analytics, to measure aggregate site performance and visitor trends:

• Analytics data is processed without cross-site tracking or building individual user behavioral profiles.
• No individual identity tracking is performed, ensuring your privacy is respected at all times.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to TextSorter and other websites on the Internet:

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to TextSorter and other sites.
• To learn more about how Google uses data in advertising, please read Google's Advertising Policies.
• You can manage your ad personalization settings or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google My Ad Center.
• You can also opt out of participating third-party ad networks via the AboutAds Choices page or the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Page.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You have full control over cookie settings and can choose to accept, reject, or delete cookies at any time:

• On-Site Consent Banner: You can manage your initial cookie choices directly through our cookie consent banner.
• Google Chrome: Manage cookies in Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox: Manage cookies in Firefox
• Apple Safari: Manage cookies in Safari
• Microsoft Edge: Manage cookies in Edge

Note that disabling certain essential cookies or clearing browser storage may reset your preferences, such as your theme selection.

5. Cookie Consent

When you first visit TextSorter, we present a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies or allow essential cookies only. Your consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage so that you are not asked again on future visits. You may update or revoke your consent preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and storage.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
