Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how cookiedecoder.top ("we", "this site") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function, to improve your experience, and to provide information to site owners about how their site is used.

The Cookie Decoder Tool Itself

The decoding tool on this site processes any cookie string you paste into it entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste into the tool is sent to our servers or stored by us. This policy covers the cookies this website itself sets on your device while browsing — it does not apply to the third-party cookie values you choose to inspect using the tool.

Cookies We Use

This site uses cookies from the following categories:

Provider Purpose Type Duration
Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) Measures site usage — pages visited, tool interactions, and general traffic patterns — to help us understand and improve the site. Analytics / Performance Up to 2 years
Google AdSense / DoubleClick (e.g. IDE, test_cookie, __gads, __gpi) Used by Google to serve ads, measure ad performance, and — where permitted by your consent choices — personalize the ads shown to you. Advertising Varies (up to 13 months / 2 years depending on the cookie)

We do not use these cookies to identify you personally. Google may combine this data with information from other sites you visit, in accordance with Google's own policies.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site — for example, how many cookie strings are decoded, which encoding formats are most common, and which FAQ sections are opened. This helps us prioritize what to build and explain next. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you individually.

Google AdSense

This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

Please note that blocking cookies may affect certain site features, such as analytics-driven improvements, though the core cookie decoding tool will continue to work normally since it runs entirely client-side.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page periodically.
