What are cookies?

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them. For the purpose of our service, "cookies" can also refer to other local storage technologies like your browser's `localStorage`.

How we use "cookies" (`localStorage`)

Persistent Word Counter does not use traditional HTTP cookies. However, we do use your browser's `localStorage` technology, which is essential for the functionality of our application.

We use `localStorage` for the following purposes:

Essential Functionality: We store the text you enter into the word counter in `localStorage`. This is the "persistent" feature of our tool, allowing your text to be automatically saved in your browser so that you do not lose your work if you close the tab or browser.
Activity Log: We also store a log of your writing activity (word counts and timestamps) to help you track your progress. This data is also stored in `localStorage`.

This data is stored exclusively on your own device and is never sent to our servers. We do not have access to it.

Your Choices

Since `localStorage` is essential for the auto-saving feature of our tool, it cannot be disabled without breaking the core functionality. However, you have full control over this data. You can clear all stored text and activity logs at any time by using the "Clear All" button within the application. You can also clear your browser's site data through your browser settings to remove all locally stored information.
