HCODX Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 21, 2026

Last Updated: April 21, 2026

Cookie Summary: HCODX's own cookie use is limited to Google Analytics (anonymous traffic data). Advertising networks, when active, will set their own advertising cookies directly. We use browser local storage (not cookies) to save your tool preferences — this data never leaves your device.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They allow websites and third-party services to recognise your browser across visits. HCODX's own direct use of cookies is minimal; the majority of cookies you may encounter on this site are set by third-party services operating under their own policies.

2. Cookies We Use Directly

2.1 Google Analytics (Analytics Cookies)

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use HCODX. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to distinguish visits and track usage patterns anonymously. The data collected includes pages visited, session duration, device/browser type, and approximate geographic region (country/city level). No personally identifying information is included.

Google Analytics is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You may opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Set by Ad Networks — Not by HCODX)

HCODX will soon display advertisements to support the free operation of the service. Important: HCODX does not set advertising cookies. When ads are active, the advertising networks serve ads directly from their own servers and set their own cookies in your browser. We have no access to or control over these cookies.

3.1 Google AdSense / Google Ad Manager

Google may set cookies in your browser for ad delivery and measurement. These are set directly by Google, not by HCODX.

These cookies are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

3.2 Other Advertising Networks

We may work with additional advertising partners who will similarly set their own cookies directly from their servers. These may include:

Each network operates under its own privacy policy. HCODX has no access to the data these networks collect through their cookies.

4. Browser Local Storage (Not Cookies)

HCODX uses your browser's local storage — which is distinct from cookies — to save editor and tool preferences such as theme selection and font size. This data:

8. Consent

By continuing to use HCODX, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time using the browser settings and opt-out tools listed above. Note that disabling certain third-party cookies does not affect the core functionality of HCODX, since all tools run in your browser.

9. Do Not Track

HCODX respects the "Do Not Track" browser signal. When enabled, Google Analytics will receive this signal. Note that third-party advertising networks may have their own policies on Do Not Track signals.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change — for example, when advertising becomes active or we add new third-party integrations. The updated date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Summary: HCODX uses Google Analytics cookies (anonymous) and will use third-party advertising network cookies (set directly by those networks, not by us) when ads go live. We use browser local storage (not cookies) to save your preferences locally. You have full control through your browser settings and the opt-out links above.

This Cookie Policy is effective as of the date listed above and applies to all visitors of HCODX at hcodx.com.
