Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
How LingoJam Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies
Local Storage (Not Cookies)
Instead of traditional cookies, LingoJam primarily uses browser local storage to:
- Remember your theme preference (light, dark, or neon mode)
- Improve your user experience by maintaining your settings between visits
Third-Party Analytics Cookies
We use Ahrefs Analytics which may set cookies to:
- Measure website traffic and understand how visitors use our site
- Analyze user behavior to improve our font generators
- Track performance and identify popular features
Types of Data Storage We Use
Essential Local Storage
- Purpose: Store your theme preferences
- Duration: Until you clear your browser data
- Can be disabled: Yes, through browser settings
Analytics Tracking
- Purpose: Website analytics and performance monitoring
- Duration: As per Ahrefs’ retention policy
- Can be disabled: Yes, through ad blockers or browser privacy settings
