Cookies and Similar Technologies

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site.

How We Use Cookies

This website itself does not set any first-party cookies. We rely on browser localStorage (a similar but distinct technology) for storing your preferences locally. However, third-party services we use may set cookies:

• Google AdSense: If implemented, Google AdSense may set cookies on your browser to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing history and interests. These cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and/or other websites across the internet.
• Google Fonts: Google may set cookies when your browser requests font files from their servers.

Types of Cookies That May Be Used

• Preference Cookies: To remember your settings and preferences.
• Advertising Cookies: To serve ads relevant to your interests and limit the number of times you see an ad.
• Analytics Cookies: To understand how visitors interact with the Site and improve its performance.
• Security Cookies: To detect fraud and protect the security of the Site.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You can:

• View cookies stored on your device
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies
• Delete cookies when you close your browser

To learn how to manage cookies in your browser, visit aboutcookies.org or your browser's help pages. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and other websites you visit.

We may use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on this Site. Google AdSense is a third-party advertising program that uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads.

How Google Uses Your Data

When you visit this Site, Google may use cookies to:

• Serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites
• Measure the effectiveness of advertisements
• Prevent fraud and abuse
• Provide aggregated reporting to us

Google's Use of Data

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet. Google uses the DoubleClick cookie (on Google-ran services) and the Google Ad Manager cookie (on partner sites) to serve interest-based ads.

For more information about how Google uses data when you use this Site, visit How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

Third-Party Advertisers

In addition to Google, other third-party advertisers may serve ads on this Site. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites to measure advertisement effectiveness and provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.

Web Beacons

Third-party advertisers may use web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags) in conjunction with cookies. Web beacons are small graphic images that help advertisers measure the effectiveness of their campaigns and understand user behavior.

Data Storage and Retention

Local Storage: Your preferences, generated number history, and favorited numbers are stored locally in your browser using the Web Storage API (localStorage). This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Server-Side Data: We do not operate servers that collect, store, or process your generated phone numbers. Any data sent to third-party services (such as QR code generation) is processed in real-time and is not stored by us.

Log Data: If we collect server log data, it is retained for a limited period for security and analytical purposes and then securely deleted.

Ad Data: Data collected by Google AdSense and other advertising partners is retained according to their respective privacy policies.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With third-party vendors who help us operate the Site (e.g., Google Fonts, QR Server API, Google AdSense), subject to confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
