Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Text Converter Tools uses cookies, local storage, and optional analytics.
How We Use Cookies and Storage
We use first-party local storage for essential consent and preference features, and optional Google Analytics cookies only after you accept analytics.
- Essential / preference storage for consent, theme, favorites, recent tools, and presets
- Optional analytics cookies set by Google after consent
Google Analytics is the only optional external measurement technology currently used. Advertising cookies are not used. If advertising is introduced in the future, this policy and the consent mechanism will be updated before advertising technologies are activated.

Managing Preferences
You can:
- use Cookie preferences in the site footer to accept, reject, or change analytics consent
- clear site data in your browser settings
- block cookies via browser controls (some preferences may stop working)
On first visit we show a consent banner. Your choice is stored locally with a consent version and expiry. Changing preferences updates Google Consent Mode for future loads. Withdrawing analytics consent does not enable analytics.
Reset Local Preferences
Use the button below to clear theme, favorites, recent tools, and presets stored in local storage on this device. This does not delete text you typed into tools (that text is not saved to these keys), and it does not enable analytics. Use Cookie preferences separately to change analytics consent.
Advertising
Advertising cookies are not used. If advertising is introduced in the future, this policy and the consent mechanism will be updated before advertising technologies are activated.
Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when storage technologies or vendors change. Updates are posted on this page with a revised last-updated date.
