Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Similar technologies, like local storage, also save small amounts of data on your device. VerbCount's public tools set no cookies — the only thing they store on your device is local storage, described below. The only cookies VerbCount sets are sign-in cookies for a private admin area, also described below.

Categories we use

Essential / functional

We use your browser's local storage to remember your theme preference (light or dark) and to autosave your most recent tool input so a refresh doesn't lose your work. This data stays on your device and is not sent anywhere.

Sign-in cookies (private admin area only)

VerbCount has a private admin area for the people who run the site, which requires signing in with an approved Google account. Signing in sets the cookies needed for it to work: one keeps you signed in, and the others support the sign-in process itself, for example by protecting it against forged requests. They are not used for analytics or advertising, and you won't receive them from using the public tools. Google's own sign-in page may set its own cookies under Google's policies. See our Privacy Policy for what signing in shares with us.

Analytics (cookieless)

Our analytics are cookieless. We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to measure aggregate traffic and real-user performance without setting cookies, without tracking you across other sites, and without ever capturing the content of your text. We do not use Google Analytics or analytics cookies.

Advertising

We do not currently use advertising cookies, and no advertising scripts are loaded. If we add advertising in the future, partners such as Google AdSense may set cookies to measure and serve ads, and we will implement any consent controls required before enabling it. See Google's advertising policies for details.

Managing your choices

Because our analytics are cookieless and we don't currently show ads, VerbCount sets no analytics or advertising cookies today, and no consent banner is shown. If advertising or another consent-requiring tool is enabled later, we will implement the consent controls required before turning it on. You can also block or delete cookies and other site data through your browser settings. Some conveniences (like saved theme and autosaved tool input) may then stop working, and signing in to the admin area requires cookies.
