Cookie policy
We use as little as possible. Essential storage keeps the tools working. Everything else waits for your OK.
Last updated: November 11, 2026 · Fields in [BRACKETS] are placeholders and will be completed by the operator.
Essential (always on)
- consent.v1 (local storage) — remembers your cookie choice. Kept for 12 months.
- Tool settings and short hand-offs (local storage / IndexedDB) — lets you pass a file from one tool to the next. Removed automatically after a few hours.
- Speech model cache (browser cache) — the speech model, so it only downloads once. You can clear it in your browser settings.
These never leave your device and are needed for the site to work, so they don’t require consent.
Advertising (only with consent)
Ads keep Placeholdr free. If you accept advertising, Google and its partners may set cookies (such as __gads, __gpi, IDE) to show, cap and measure ads, and to personalise them. Until you choose, we use Google Consent Mode with everything set to “denied”.
Statistics (only with consent)
Anonymous counts of which tools are used, so we know what to improve.
