Cookie Policy

Last Updated: August 7, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how PomodoroTimer.cn uses browser storage technologies. Spoiler: we keep it minimal.

1. We Use localStorage, Not Cookies

PomodoroTimer.cn uses HTML5 localStorage — not traditional HTTP cookies — to remember your preferences across visits. localStorage is a modern browser feature that stores data entirely on your device, and unlike HTTP cookies, the data is never automatically sent to our servers with each request. In fact, since there is no server-side processing, nothing is ever sent anywhere.

2. What We Store

Our use of localStorage is strictly functional. We store only the information needed to make the timer work the way you set it:

• Timer preferences: Your custom focus duration, short break duration, and long break duration
• Task list: Your current and completed tasks
• Display preferences: Dark mode or light theme choice, and preferred language
• Notification settings: Whether you want browser notifications enabled

None of this data identifies you personally. None of it is shared, transmitted, or accessible to anyone but you.

3. What We Do NOT Use

To be absolutely clear, the following types of cookies and storage are never used on PomodoroTimer.cn:

• Tracking cookies — We don't track your browsing behavior
• Analytics cookies — We don't collect usage statistics
• Advertising cookies — We don't show ads or build ad profiles
• Third-party cookies — No external service sets cookies through our Site
• Social media cookies — We don't embed social sharing buttons or widgets
• Session cookies — We don't use server-side sessions

4. How to Clear localStorage

You can clear all data stored by PomodoroTimer.cn at any time. Here's how in common browsers:

• Chrome: Open Developer Tools (F12) → Application tab → Storage → Local Storage → right-click the domain → Clear
• Firefox: Open Developer Tools (F12) → Storage tab → Local Storage → right-click the domain → Delete All
• Edge: Open Developer Tools (F12) → Application tab → Storage → Local Storage → right-click the domain → Clear
• Safari: Develop menu → Show Web Inspector → Storage tab → Local Storage → select and delete

Alternatively, you can clear all site data through your browser's privacy/security settings. Look for "Clear browsing data" or "Manage website data" and select cached/storage data for PomodoroTimer.cn.

Please note that clearing localStorage will reset your timer settings, task list, and preferences to their defaults. Since no data is stored anywhere else, this is a complete reset.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
