Transparency on Cookies

1. What are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files sent by the website to your browser and stored on your device. They allow the website to 'remember' information about your visit, making your next access easier and the site more useful to you. At Space Tools dev, in addition to cookies, we use LocalStorage and SessionStorage—modern technologies that allow data to be saved directly in your browser without the need to send it to an external server.

2. Our Philosophy: Client-Side First

The main differentiator of our ecosystem is that we prioritize client-side processing (your computer). This means that while most sites use cookies to collect data and process it on distant servers, we try to keep the functional logic of our tools within your own browser. We use local storage technologies to ensure your work data does not circulate across the network unnecessarily.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We divide our cookies into three main categories so you have full control: • **Essential:** Necessary for the basic functioning of the site, such as navigation and access to secure areas. The site cannot function correctly without them. • **Analytical (GA4):** Help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This tells us which tools are most popular. • **Marketing (AdSense):** Used to display ads that are relevant to you and your interests, helping to keep Space Tools dev free for everyone.

4. Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Tag Manager to orchestrate the loading of scripts in an optimized way, ensuring the site remains light and fast. Through GA4, we analyze performance metrics in an aggregated and anonymized manner. We do not track your personal identity, only the technical behavior of the ecosystem to identify bugs or slowness and improve the user experience of each integrated tool.

5. The Role of LocalStorage

Many of our features depend on LocalStorage. Unlike traditional cookies that are sent with every server request, LocalStorage is used exclusively to maintain your interface preferences (such as Dark/Light theme) and, in the future, specific tool settings. This data has an indefinite lifespan but resides exclusively on your hardware, allowing total control and privacy.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Advertising

We display ads through Google AdSense. These third-party providers may use cookies to serve ads based on previous visits. Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this and other sites on the Internet. We emphasize that Space Tools dev does not share the data you enter into our tools with these advertising partners.

7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Most browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Additionally, you can clear local storage (LocalStorage) at any time by clearing your cache and browsing history. Remember that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some of our tools.

8. Commitment to Transparency

This policy is periodically reviewed to ensure we are always aligned with data protection laws such as GDPR in Europe and LGPD in Brazil. Our goal is not just to comply with a legal standard, but to establish a relationship of trust with the developer community.
