Cookies Used by CopyListen
CopyListen currently uses Google Analytics 4 to understand general website usage and improve the service. CopyListen does not currently use AdSense or other advertising cookies.
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies and similar technologies to distinguish users and sessions and measure interactions with the website.
CopyListen does not currently use cookies for user accounts.
Google Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics may set cookies including:
_ga— used to distinguish users;_ga_<container-id>— used to maintain session state.
Google states that the default expiration period for these cookies is two years. Actual cookie behavior and duration may vary depending on browser restrictions, analytics configuration, consent settings, and other applicable platform policies.
Google Analytics may collect information such as page visits, session statistics, approximate geographic information, and general browser or device information.
CopyListen does not intentionally include the text entered into the editor or images selected for OCR in Google Analytics events.
Local Browser Storage
CopyListen also uses localStorage. localStorage is browser storage and is separate from cookies.
It is used to remember application preferences and settings, which may include:
- selected and recently used languages;
- default language;
- selected and recently used voices;
- default voice;
- speech speed;
- voice preferences and classifications;
- Light or Dark Mode;
- other local application settings.
CopyListen does not intentionally store the text entered into the text box or uploaded images in localStorage.
Managing Browser Data
You can use your browser settings to view, block, or delete cookies and other locally stored website data.
Blocking or deleting Google Analytics cookies may affect analytics measurement but should not prevent the core CopyListen text-to-speech interface from functioning.
Clearing localStorage may reset CopyListen preferences such as language, voice, speed, and theme settings.
Third-Party Technologies
Google Analytics 4 is provided by Google and operates according to Google's own technologies, policies, and privacy practices.
Other CopyListen functionality may rely on browser or operating-system technologies, and Tesseract.js may load OCR workers, WebAssembly code, or language data from configured external sources. Loading those components does not by itself mean that selected images are sent to those sources.
CopyListen does not currently integrate advertising into the website or use advertising cookies. Advertising services, including Google AdSense, may be introduced in the future. If that happens, this Cookie Policy will be updated as appropriate to describe the relevant cookies, data processing, and consent controls required by applicable law.
Changes to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated if CopyListen changes its use of analytics, cookies, advertising, accounts, third-party services, or local browser storage.
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
