Cookie Policy
1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Tonguesage, Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on tonguesage.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy. Tonguesage is a localization platform for product teams; we use cookies to keep the site running and to understand how visitors interact with it -- not to serve targeted advertising.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your device, store preferences, and measure usage. We also use related technologies such as local storage (for example, to remember whether you have dismissed the cookie notice).
3. How We Use Cookies
| Category | Examples | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | session token, CSRF protection, cookie-banner dismissal state | session to 12 months |
| Preferences | language selection, UI state | up to 12 months |
| Analytics | self-hosted analytics, anonymised page-view counts | up to 13 months |
| Marketing | not currently used | -- |
We do not use third-party advertising or tracking pixels on tonguesage.com. Analytics data is anonymised and aggregated; it is not linked to identifiable individuals.
4. Notice and Choice
tonguesage.com operates on a notice-only consent model for US visitors. By continuing to use the Service, you consent to our use of cookies as described above. You can opt out of analytics cookies by configuring your browser or by using the cookie banner to indicate your preference. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without preventing core site functionality.
5. Universal Opt-Out Signals
Where applicable state law requires -- including California (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Section 22575), Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and Oregon -- we honour browser-transmitted opt-out signals such as the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") for sale and targeted-advertising categories. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will not initialise analytics on your session. We do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, so the GPC signal has no effect beyond analytics suppression on this site.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties acting as our service providers, for example an analytics provider. We have data processing agreements with such providers limiting their use of data to service-provision only. We do not use third-party advertising networks.
7. Managing Cookies
- Use the cookie banner (shown on first visit) to opt out of analytics. You can reopen it at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer.
- Browser settings allow you to block or delete all cookies; see aboutcookies.org for per-browser instructions. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the Service from functioning correctly.
8. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any change. Questions about our use of cookies can be directed to:
