Cookie Policy – ImgOcrTxt Image to Text Converter
ImgOcrTxt does NOT use invasive cross-site advertising cookies, nor do we sell or monetize your web browsing habits. We use minimal first-party cookies and local storage exclusively to save your functional interface preferences and maintain platform security.
1. What Are Cookies & Web Storage Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by websites you visit. Alongside cookies, modern web browsers utilize HTML5 Local Storage (`localStorage`) and Session Storage to store client-side preferences and application state directly within your local browser sandbox.
2. How ImgOcrTxt Uses Cookies and Web Storage
When you use our image to text converter and OCR tools, web storage helps provide a seamless experience by:
- Remembering your selected OCR language (e.g. English, French, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese) between conversions.
- Saving your active workspace mode (e.g. Table Extraction vs. Handwriting vs. Plain Text).
- Enabling instant image pre-processing settings like auto-contrast enhancement.
- Securing the platform against automated brute-force attempts and denial-of-service (DDoS) traffic.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies
Essential for website operation, security routing, load balancing, and preventing bot spam. The site cannot function properly without these tokens.
B. Functional & User Preference Storage
Stores non-identifying settings such as your preferred OCR language, copy-to-clipboard format defaults, and zoom preferences.
C. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Optional)
Anonymous telemetry aggregated across thousands of visitors to measure which tools are most helpful and identify conversion bottlenecks. IP addresses are anonymized.
