Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how Textly uses cookies and similar technologies. We are committed to minimizing data collection. Your text content is never stored in cookies — all tool processing happens entirely in your browser.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by external services like advertisers).
Cookies We Use
Textly uses the following cookies:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
textly-theme | First-party | Stores your dark/light theme preference | Persistent (localStorage) |
| AdSense cookies | Third-party | Used by Google to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance | Up to 13 months |
| __cf_bm | Third-party | Cloudflare bot management — protects against malicious traffic | 30 minutes |
Cookie Categories
- ✓ Essential: The
textly-themelocalStorage entry is essential for remembering your theme preference. Without it, the site still works but defaults to your system preference. - • Advertising: Google AdSense uses cookies to display ads relevant to your interests and measure campaign performance. These are third-party cookies controlled by Google.
- • Security: Cloudflare uses the
__cf_bmcookie to distinguish between humans and bots, protecting the site from automated attacks.
