This Cookie Policy explains how Textlino ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit textlino.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse between pages.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
auth_session | Maintains your login session after signing in with Google. This is an HTTP-only, Secure cookie that stores a random session token — it does not contain any personal data. | 7 days |
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience.
| Storage Key | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie consent preference so the banner is not shown again. | localStorage |
textlino_ad_unlocked | Records whether you have unlocked bonus features via the ad-supported flow. | localStorage |
2.3 Third-Party Cookies
We currently do not use any third-party tracking or analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar advertising trackers.
If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
3. Cookies Set During Google Sign-In
When you click "Sign in with Google", you are temporarily redirected to Google's authentication servers. Google may set its own cookies during this process according to Google's Privacy Policy. These cookies are set by Google, not by Textlino, and we have no control over them.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Please note that blocking the auth_session cookie will prevent you from signing in and using the text generation features.
5. Do Not Track
We respect the "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signal. Since we do not use tracking cookies or third-party trackers, our behavior is the same regardless of your DNT setting.
6. Changes to This Policy
If we add new cookies or change how we use existing ones, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, request your consent again. Check the "Last updated" date at the top for the most recent version.
