What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.
Our Use of Cookies
textcompa.re has a minimal approach to data collection. We do not use traditional tracking cookies. Instead, we use browser local storage for essential functionality only.
Local Storage
We use local storage in your browser to store the following preferences:
- Theme Preference: Your choice between light and dark mode
- Display Settings: Your preferred view options for text comparison
This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to any server. It exists solely to enhance your user experience by remembering your preferences across sessions.
No Tracking or Analytics
Unlike many websites, textcompa.re does not use:
- Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Advertising cookies
- Third-party tracking scripts
- Social media cookies
- Marketing or targeting cookies
Managing Your Data
You have full control over the local storage data. Here's how you can manage it:
Clear Local Storage
To clear all stored preferences:
- Chrome/Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and site data → See all site data → Search for textcompa.re → Remove
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data → Search for textcompa.re → Remove
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Search for textcompa.re → Remove
Your Choices
Since we only use local storage for essential functionality (saving your preferences), there are no cookie preferences to configure. You can choose to:
- Continue using the service with local storage enabled (recommended for the best experience)
- Disable local storage in your browser, though this will reset your preferences each visit
- Clear your local storage at any time using the instructions above
Third-Party Cookies
We do not use any third-party services that would set cookies on your device. All functionality is self-contained and runs entirely in your browser.
Changes to This Policy
If we make any changes to how we use local storage or introduce any form of cookies in the future, we will update this page and notify users through the application. We are committed to maintaining transparency about our data practices.
