1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements. They are primarily used to remember your browser or device during and across website visits, providing a seamless and personalized experience.
2. How We Use Cookies & Local Storage
At Format & Validate Json, we use cookies and similar browser-based technologies for two primary purposes:
- Essential Local Storage:We use your browser's
localStorage to save your user interface preferences (such as Light or Dark mode). This is not technically a "cookie," but it functions similarly to remember your interface choices across sessions locally without transmitting data to any server. - Third-Party Advertising:To keep this JSON formatting tool entirely free for the community, we display advertisements using Google AdSense. Google and its partners use tracking cookies to serve advertisements tailored to your interests based on your prior visits to our website or other sites on the internet.
3. Google AdSense and Personalized Advertising
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

4. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most modern web browsers allow you to control cookies directly through their settings or preferences. You can choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies when closing your browser.
Note: If you strictly limit the ability of websites to set cookies or use local storage, you may worsen your overall user experience, as features like preserving your preferred dark/light theme will no longer function properly across sessions.
