What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website can place on your device to remember information between visits or during a session. Some are set directly by the site you're visiting ("first-party"), and others are set by outside services embedded on the page, such as advertising networks ("third-party").
How We Use Them
URLShortr itself doesn't require an account, so we don't use cookies for login or profile purposes. Your dark/light mode preference is stored locally in your browser (via localStorage), not as a cookie, and never leaves your device.
Advertising Cookies
Because the Service is ad-supported, the third-party advertising network(s) that serve ads on this site may set their own cookies to help select and measure relevant ads. We don't control these cookies directly — they're governed by each ad network's own privacy and cookie practices.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Blocking third-party cookies is usually available as a browser-level option and will typically limit ad personalization without preventing you from using the URL shortener itself.
