Cookies and browser storage

1. Summary

We do not set cookies. We use the local storage and session storage of your browser to remember a few choices you make while using the tools. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking technologies, and we do not share this data with anyone.

2. What these technologies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Local storage and session storage are similar browser features that let a website keep information in your browser. Rules such as Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive apply to all of them.

3. What we store

The following items are created by your own actions on the website, or to make it work offline. None of them is sent to us, and only the item called te:carry-text can contain text you have typed:

• te:settings:v1 (local storage): your editor settings, namely editor height, text size, tab size, line numbers, word wrap, visible spaces and tabs, and trimming of lines before a tool runs. Kept until you delete it.
• te:deck-layout:v1 (local storage): how you arranged the tools under the editor. Kept until you delete it or reset the order.
• te:theme (local storage): your choice of light, dark or system theme. Kept until you delete it.
• te:language-notice (local storage): that you dealt with the notice that a page is available in your language, so it is not shown again. Kept until you delete it.
• te:carry-text (session storage): while you change language, the text in the editor is held here so that it appears on the new page. It is removed as soon as it has been restored, or when you close the tab.
• Service worker and cache storage (browser cache): so that the website loads faster and keeps working without a connection after your first visit, your browser keeps copies of the website’s own pages, scripts, styles and icons. These copies are the website itself and contain no text you typed. They are replaced when the website is updated, and you can delete them at any time.

4. Why we do not ask for consent

Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested does not need your consent. We consider these items to fall under that exemption: they are created by actions you take, they only provide the features you use and keep your own choices, and they are not used for tracking, advertising or analytics. If we add anything that needs consent, we will ask for it first and update this notice.

5. Third parties

The website does not load third-party scripts, fonts or other embedded content, so no third party can place cookies or other storage on your device through this website.

6. Managing and deleting

You can see and delete everything listed above in your browser’s settings, usually under privacy, site data or developer tools. You can also set your browser to block storage. The website then still works, but your choices are not remembered. Items in session storage disappear when you close the tab.

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Because we do not track you, there is nothing to opt out of, so we have no separate handling for Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals.

8. Changes

We will update this notice when what we store changes, and the date at the top of this page will change with it.
