Cookie Policy

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. At ilovedoc.org, we primarily use browser localStorage instead of traditional HTTP cookies. localStorage works similarly to cookies but offers more storage capacity and is only accessible by your browser. Both technologies store data locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.

We use cookies and localStorage for the following purposes: (a) Essential Functionality — to remember your preferences such as dark/light mode, favorite tools, and recent tool history; (b) Tool Performance — to store tool-specific settings and configurations that enhance your experience; (c) Privacy-Respecting Analytics — to track tool popularity and usage patterns entirely on your device, without sending data to external servers; (d) User Ratings — to store your thumbs up/down ratings for tools. We do NOT use cookies for: advertising, cross-site tracking, social media integration, or any form of surveillance.

Our cookie usage is minimal and privacy-focused. See the detailed breakdown table above for specific cookies and their purposes. We categorize our cookies into Essential (required for site functionality) and Analytics (optional, helps us improve). We do not use any advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or third-party tracking cookies. All data stored via localStorage remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

ilovedoc.org does not use third-party cookies from advertising networks, social media platforms, or analytics services like Google Analytics. We do not embed social media widgets, tracking pixels, or advertising iframes that could set third-party cookies. If we introduce third-party services in the future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent where required by applicable law.

You have full control over cookies and localStorage: (a) Browser Settings — You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies through your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones; (b) Clear Local Storage — You can clear all localStorage data by clearing your browser's cache and site data for ilovedoc.org; (c) Essential Cookies — Please note that blocking essential cookies/localStorage may affect the functionality of our tools and website features; (d) Analytics — Our analytics data is stored locally on your device. You can clear this data at any time without affecting core functionality.

Our cookie practices comply with: (a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — We obtain consent for non-essential cookies and provide clear information about our cookie usage; (b) ePrivacy Directive — We comply with the cookie consent requirements and provide granular control over cookie categories; (c) California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — We disclose our cookie practices and provide opt-out mechanisms; (d) Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA, India) — We comply with data protection requirements and consent mechanisms; (e) UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) — We comply with UK cookie consent requirements.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide notice through our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
