What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by websites. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website owners. Similar technologies include pixel tags, web beacons, localStorage and sessionStorage.

This policy applies to the SpokenType website (spokentype.com). Our client apps (macOS, Windows, iOS, Android) do not use cookies, but may use local storage to save your preferences.

How We Use Cookies

The SpokenType website uses very limited cookies. We follow the data minimization principle, using only necessary cookies and a small number of functional cookies that improve the experience.

Cookies We Do Not Use

To protect your privacy, SpokenType explicitly does not use the following types of cookies and technologies:

  • Ad tracking cookies: We do not run ads and do not use any ad tracking technology.
  • Cross-site tracking cookies: We do not track your activity on other websites.
  • Third-party marketing cookies: We do not share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes.
  • Device fingerprinting: We do not use browser fingerprinting technology to track users.

Your Cookie Choices

As required by GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we ask for your consent when you first visit our website for non-strictly-necessary cookies. You can change your preferences at any time.

Managing Cookies via Your Browser

You can also manage or 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 → Manage and delete cookies and site data

Please note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some website features from working correctly. If you delete all cookies, your preferences (including cookie consent preferences) will be reset.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, our website may use browser local storage (localStorage) to save some non-sensitive preferences. This data is stored entirely on your device and is not sent to our servers. You can view and clear local storage data using your browser's developer tools.

"Do Not Track" Signal

Some browsers support the "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. There is currently no unified industry standard for responding to DNT signals. However, since we do not perform cross-site tracking ourselves, our actual behavior already meets the DNT requirements.

Policy Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we use cookies. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated date". For significant changes, we will notify you via a website banner or other appropriate means.
