This Cookie Policy explains how Txtopia.com uses cookies and similar technologies.
1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. We also use the term to refer to similar browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage and sessionStorage.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Provider | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential service cookies | CDN delivery, DDoS protection, bot management | Cloudflare | Yes — required for security and delivery |
Txtopia does not use the following in V0:
- Analytics cookies (Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookie-free)
- Advertising cookies (ads are not yet enabled)
- Personalization cookies
sessionStorageIndexedDB
Local Storage (Not Cookies)
We use localStorage to store your preferences:
| Setting | Purpose | Storage | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| WPM (words per minute) | Audio playback speed | localStorage |
Until you clear browser data |
| Audio pitch | Audio tone frequency | localStorage |
Until you clear browser data |
| Theme (light/dark) | Visual preference | localStorage |
Until you clear browser data |
These preferences are stored only on your device and are never transmitted to us. If localStorage is unavailable, the Service continues to work with default settings.
Your text inputs and translation results are never stored in localStorage, sessionStorage, or IndexedDB.
3. Cloudflare Service Cookies
Cloudflare may set cookies or process request data to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. For more information, see:
4. Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics is active. Its browser beacon measures aggregate page visits, referring sites, country-level location, browser and device types, and page-performance measurements such as Core Web Vitals. It does not use analytics cookies, log query strings, or collect or use visitors' personal data for analytics.
The beacon never receives translator input, results, diagnostics, generated audio, clipboard content, or local preferences. Txtopia sends no custom translator events. See the Cloudflare Web Analytics documentation and Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
5. Advertising (if enabled)
V0 does not display advertisements. If advertising is introduced in the future (e.g., Google AdSense), we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy to disclose the advertising provider(s)
- Disclose any advertising cookies used for ad delivery, measurement, or personalization
- Implement Google Consent Mode v2 or an equivalent consent mechanism for EU/EEA/UK users before loading personalized advertising cookies
- Place ads away from the translator input and output areas
Any future ads will comply with the advertising network's policies and applicable privacy laws.
6. Affiliate Links (if enabled)
V0 does not include affiliate links. If affiliate links are introduced in the future (e.g., Amazon Associates), the third-party site may set cookies according to their own privacy policy. We will disclose affiliate relationships in our Affiliate Disclosure and update this Cookie Policy accordingly.
7. Managing Cookies and Browser Storage
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Because Txtopia does not store your text or translations in the browser, clearing cookies or site data will not affect your translations. Only your local preferences (WPM, pitch, theme) will be reset.
8. Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC)
The translator itself does not collect user content or create advertising profiles. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookie-free and does not collect or use visitors' personal data for analytics. Advertising and personalized tracking are not active.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
