Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21 August 2025
Cookie-Free Experience
Better Word Counter does not use cookies. We are committed to providing a privacy-focused experience that doesn't track you across the web or store unnecessary data in your browser.
Local Storage vs. Cookies
While we don't use cookies, Better Word Counter does use your browser's local storage feature to save your work between sessions. This is different from cookies because:
- Local storage data never leaves your device
- It's not transmitted to servers with every request
- It's only accessible by Better Word Counter, not other websites
- It stores your actual content (text, titles, settings) rather than tracking identifiers
- You have full control over this data and can clear it anytime
Analytics: Cookie-Free Tracking
Our website analytics are provided by Plausible Analytics, which is specifically designed to be cookie-free and privacy-focused. Plausible:
- Does not set any cookies in your browser
- Does not store any personal information
- Does not track you across websites
- Does not create user profiles
- Only collects aggregated, anonymous usage statistics
Third-Party Services
Better Word Counter does not integrate with any third-party services that would set cookies. All functionality is contained within our application and runs locally in your browser.
Browser Storage Summary
Here's what Better Word Counter stores locally on your device:
- Your text content: The actual text you write in each section
- Section titles: Any titles you add to sections
- Document title: The main document title if you add one
- Preferences: Settings like whether titles are included in word counts
This data is stored using HTML5 Local Storage, not cookies, and is only used to restore your work when you return to the site.
Managing Your Data
You can manage or clear your stored data in several ways:
- Use the "Reset All Sections" button to clear all content
- Clear your browser's local storage through browser settings
- Use private/incognito browsing mode to prevent any local storage
No Cookie Consent Required
Since we don't use cookies, there's no need for cookie consent banners or complex opt-out procedures. You can use Better Word Counter immediately without accepting any tracking.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. However, our commitment to being cookie-free will remain unchanged.
