Cookie Summary

✅ We use strictly necessary cookies and browser storage to make the site work.

1. What Are Cookies?

1.1 Basic Definition

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners and service providers.

Cookies are stored in your browser and sent back to the website that created them on later visits. They cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device.

1.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Session Cookies

These temporary cookies exist only for the duration of a browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted. They are often used to remember consent or preference settings.

1.3 Types of Cookies by Origin

First-Party Cookies

Set directly by Line Counter or browser storage controlled by our code to remember site preferences and consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Set by services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These services may measure activity across multiple websites.

1.4 Similar Technologies

Local Storage

We use localStorage to save your cookie preferences. Unlike cookies, localStorage values are not automatically sent to servers with each request.

Web Beacons

Tiny invisible images or related tracking mechanisms may be used by advertising providers to measure whether a page or advertisement was viewed.

Browser Fingerprinting

We do not use browser fingerprinting or similarly invasive techniques beyond standard cookies, browser storage, and analytics integrations.

5.5 Consent for California Users

7. Do Not Track

7.1 What Is Do Not Track?

Do Not Track is a browser setting that asks websites not to track your activity across sites.

7.2 Our Response to DNT Signals

Because there is no universal standard for DNT, we do not currently alter our practices solely based on that signal. Instead, we provide granular control through our consent system.

7.3 Global Privacy Control

We are monitoring adoption of Global Privacy Control and will continue to evaluate how to honor it as standards and legal requirements mature. California users who want to opt out should still use the preference tools on this page or contact us directly.

Line Counter is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.

Clear cookies and browser storage on the child's device.

For users between 13 and 18, we recommend that parents review cookie settings with their children and consider parental controls where appropriate.
