What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. Local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) is a modern browser feature that allows websites to remember lightweight user settings directly on your device without transmitting data back and forth to servers on every click.
How StyleText Uses Local Storage
StyleText uses zero first-party tracking or behavioral profiling cookies. We utilize client-side localStorage exclusively for one functional purpose:
- Visual Theme Preference: When you click the Dark Mode / Light Mode toggle in our navigation header, we store a key named
styletext-theme(with the value "dark" or "light") so your preference persists across future page visits without resetting.
Third-Party Cookies (Advertising Partners)
When advertising is activated on StyleText, third-party vendors such as Google AdSense may place cookies on your browser to measure advertisement effectiveness and deliver relevant commercial messaging. These third parties have their own distinct privacy policies and cookie practices.
How You Can Manage or Disable Cookies
You possess complete authority over cookie storage on your device. Most modern browsers allow you to:
- Inspect and delete stored cookies and local storage keys via Developer Tools or Browser Settings.
- Block third-party cookies globally in your browser privacy preferences.
- Use incognito/private browsing windows to clear all stored session keys automatically upon closing the window.
- Install privacy-focused browser extensions that provide fine-grained control over site permissions and storage objects.
Detailed Guide to Browser Cookie Management
You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you whenever a cookie is set. To manage cookies in Google Chrome, navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-Party Cookies. In Apple Safari, go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to use StyleText's core text conversion tools, as all processing is local.
