Cookie & Local Storage Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. Local storage (localStorage) is a standard browser mechanism that allows web applications to store key-value data directly on your device without sending it to a server.

TryFormatter uses a limited number of cookies and browser storage technologies to support essential functionality, understand website usage, and help keep our platform free to use through advertising.

For supported browser-based tools, TryFormatter does not store your tool inputs or processed file outputs in cookies or on remote servers. All file transformations run locally in browser memory.

We use localStorage exclusively on your device for functional user preferences:

• Theme Preferences: Remembers dark mode vs light mode theme selection.

• Recent Tools History: Stores a small list of your recently used tools locally for quick navigation.

This information is stored locally within your browser and can be removed at any time by clearing your browser's site data.

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use TryFormatter, measure feature adoption, and identify opportunities to improve performance and user experience.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized technical telemetry such as page views, browser types, device categories, and approximate geographic region. This data is never linked to personal user identities.

TryFormatter displays advertisements served by Google AdSense to support the ongoing maintenance and free availability of our productivity tools.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to TryFormatter or other websites on the Internet.

Users can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) or aboutads.info.

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through browser settings. You can set your browser to block or alert you about cookies, or clear existing cookies and localStorage data.

Instructions for common web browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies.

• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.

• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Prevent cross-site tracking.

• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain analytics measurements or ad delivery, but core tool formatting functions will continue to operate.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect technological or regulatory changes. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
