Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 16, 2025

1) What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

2) Our Cookie Philosophy

We believe in privacy by design. That means:

• ✅ No tracking cookies
• ✅ No advertising cookies
• ✅ No analytics cookies
• ✅ No third-party cookies
• ✅ No session cookies

3) What We Do Store

GetPassnow uses localStorage (not cookies) for exactly one thing:

Specifically:

• Key: theme
• Value: light or dark
• Purpose: Remember your theme choice between visits
• Location: Your browser's localStorage (never leaves your device)
• Expiration: Persists until you clear browser data

4) What We DON'T Store

Unlike many websites, we do NOT store:

• ❌ Generated passwords (they exist only in memory)
• ❌ Your browsing behavior
• ❌ Analytics or tracking data
• ❌ Advertising identifiers
• ❌ Session information
• ❌ User accounts or profiles
• ❌ Any personal information

5) Third-Party Cookies

None. We do not use any third-party services that set cookies, including:

• No Google Analytics
• No Facebook Pixel
• No advertising networks
• No social media tracking

The only external resources we load are:

• CDN assets (Bootstrap CSS/JS) – these don't set cookies
• Bootstrap Icons – these don't set cookies

6) How GetPassnow Differs from Other Sites

Most password generators and websites use extensive tracking. Here's how we compare:

7) Managing Your Data

To clear your theme preference:

1. Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12)
2. Go to Application/Storage tab
3. Find localStorage → getpassnow.net
4. Delete the "theme" entry

Or simply clear your browser data (localStorage is cleared along with cookies).

8) Browser Settings

Since we don't use cookies, disabling cookies won't affect GetPassnow's functionality. However, disabling localStorage may reset your theme preference to light mode on each visit.

9) GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Our minimal approach means:

• ✅ No cookie consent banner needed (we don't use tracking cookies)
• ✅ No personal data processing
• ✅ No data sharing with third parties
• ✅ No user profiling

10) Changes to This Policy

If we ever need to store additional data (which is unlikely), we'll update this policy and notify users via this page. The "Last updated" date above will reflect any changes.
