This Cookie Policy explains if, how, and why the Terms & Conditions Summarizer browser extension uses cookies. The short version? We don't use them. But here's the full scoop, because we believe in transparency (and we like cookies, just not digital ones).

📌 Summary

✅ We do not store cookies.

✅ We do not track your activity across websites.

✅ We do not collect or sell personal data.

🚫 This extension does not use analytics or third-party trackers.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser by websites you visit. They're typically used to:

  • Keep you logged in
  • Track browsing behavior
  • Store preferences

However, browser extensions (like this one) do not behave like regular websites — and that's key to understanding our cookie usage.

3. Do We Use Local Storage?

We use local extension storage only for:

  • Your preferred language setting for translation
  • Highlight toggle preferences

This data:

  • Stays entirely on your device
  • Is never transmitted to external servers
  • Can be cleared at any time by uninstalling or resetting the extension
chrome.storage.local.set({ language: 'en', highlight: true });

No personal identifiers, session IDs, or site logs are stored.

4. Third-Party Cookies?

Nope again.

We don't load analytics scripts, social widgets, ad networks, or pixel trackers. That means:

  • No Google Analytics
  • No Facebook tracking
  • No cookies from Gemini or Google Translate APIs

All API communication is strictly stateless, done via secure HTTPS requests without cookie headers.

5. Why This Matters

We believe:

  • Privacy is a right, not a toggle
  • Simplicity beats silent complexity
  • Tools should work for the user, not on them

So when we say we don't use cookies — we mean it.

6. How Can You Verify?

You can:

  • Open Developer Tools → Application → Storage → Cookies — see for yourself.
  • Monitor network requests via the Network tab — no cookies exchanged.
  • View the source code on GitHub — it's all transparent.

🔒 Security Promise

We operate on three core principles:

  • No tracking
  • No ads
  • No profiling

Our architecture is intentionally simple to minimize risk.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can any cookies be created accidentally?
A: Not by us. If any are created, they may come from third-party websites you're visiting. Our extension does not interact with those cookies.

Q: Is extension storage the same as cookies?
A: No. chrome.storage.local is scoped to the extension and is sandboxed — it's inaccessible to websites and cannot be used to track you.

Q: Will future features change this?
A: If we ever introduce cookie usage (unlikely), we'll update this policy and require your explicit opt-in.
