Privacy Policy for Cookies Editor - View, Import & Export

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains the information collection, use, and sharing practices of Cookies Editor (“we,” “us,” and “our”) regarding your use of our browser extension (the "Extension").

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of user privacy and data security. Before you use the Extension, please carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using the Extension, you understand that your information will be handled as outlined in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Extension.

1. Our Principles

Cookies Editor is designed with the following principles in mind:

• Minimalism: We only access data that is absolutely necessary for the Extension to function (managing browser cookies).
• Transparency: We clearly state what data is accessed and how it is processed.
• User Control: You retain full ownership and control over your cookies and session data.

2. Information We Access and How We Process It

To provide its core functionality—allowing you to view, create, edit, delete, import, and export cookies—the Extension requires access to the browser's cookies and storage permissions. Here is exactly how this data is handled:

• Cookie Data Access: The Extension reads the cookies stored in your browser for the active tab or websites you manage, allowing you to modify values, change expiration dates, or delete them.
• Import / Export Functions: When you use the Import or Export features, the cookie data is processed into text formats (such as JSON or Netscape format) entirely within your browser.

🔒 Local Processing (100% Offline & Private)

Crucial Privacy Note: All cookie data accessed, edited, imported, or exported by the Extension is processed 100% locally on your machine. We do not own any servers to store your cookies, and we never transmit, collect, or monitor your browsing history, account sessions, or cookie values. Everything stays inside your local browser environment.

3. Information You Provide Voluntarily

We may collect minimal personal information only when you explicitly interact with us outside the extension's core functionality:

• Support and Feedback: If you contact us via email (maxzhdev@gmail.com) for support, we will collect your email address and any information you provide in the message to resolve your issue.
• Donations/Purchases: If you make a voluntary financial contribution or purchase a premium license (if applicable), payment processing is handled entirely by secure third-party processors. We do not store your credit card or billing details.

4. Third-Party Analytics

The Extension may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) solely to track aggregated, non-personal usage statistics (e.g., number of active installations, extension popup openings). This helps us improve user experience. These tools do not have access to your browser cookies, website data, or values you edit.

5. Google Chrome Web Store "Limited Use" Compliance

Cookies Editor strictly complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements:

1. No Sale of Data: We never sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data, web browsing history, or cookie information to third parties, data brokers, or advertising networks.
2. No Ad Targeting: We do not use or disclose your data for personalized ads, behavioral advertising, or credit-scoring purposes.
3. No Human Review: No human beings (including the developers) can access, read, or intercept your cookie data, as it never leaves your local device.
4. Functional Use Only: We only use the accessed browser permissions to provide and improve the core cookie management features of the Extension.

6. Security Measures

We implement strict extension-side security configurations to ensure that your local cookie data is secure and cannot be accessed by other unauthorized extensions or malicious websites through our interface.

7. Children's Privacy

The Extension is intended for developers, testers, and general users over the age of 18. It is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or browser store compliance rules. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
