Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Websites also use similar technologies, such as browser local storage, to remember preferences, keep features working, measure traffic and show advertising.

Cookies and Storage Used by LeedyBox

• Preference storage (local storage): leedybox_theme remembers the light or dark theme, leedybox_lang remembers the language you chose, and leedybox_consent remembers your cookie-banner choice. These values stay in your browser and are not used for tracking.
• OCR language data (IndexedDB): PDF to Text and Image to Text use the Tesseract.js library, which stores the language data it downloads in your browser's IndexedDB storage (database keyval-store) so that it does not have to be downloaded again. It contains only the language data, not your images or text, and is not used for tracking.
• Audio to Text models (Cache Storage): Audio to Text stores the speech recognition engine and the Whisper model it downloads in your browser’s Cache Storage (cache leedybox-audio-to-text) so that they do not have to be downloaded again; this can take several hundred megabytes. It contains only these program and model files, not your recordings or transcripts, and is not used for tracking. The tool’s “Delete saved models” button removes it.
• Analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics only after you accept, to measure how pages and tools are used.
• Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense and its partners only after you accept, to serve and measure ads.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics helps us see which pages and tools are used, for example page views, time on page, browser type and approximate location. Until you accept, Google Analytics is told not to store cookies; if you decline, it is switched off for this site.

Advertising Cookies

LeedyBox may show ads served by Google AdSense, which helps keep the tools free. With your consent, Google and third-party vendors can use cookies to show ads based on your visits to LeedyBox and other websites. You can turn off personalized advertising at any time in Google Ads Settings.

Managing Cookie Preferences

• Consent banner: On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline optional analytics and advertising cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser.
• Cookie settings: Use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page to show the banner again and change your choice.
• Browser settings: You can block, limit or delete cookies and site storage in your browser. Clearing local storage also resets saved settings such as the theme and language, and clearing site data also deletes stored OCR language data.
