Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This policy lists every cookie and browser storage item Elysia Tools may set, what each one does, and how you can control them. Only the necessary category is active by default; analytics and advertising stay off until you enable them in the cookie banner.
What cookies and local storage Elysia Tools uses, and how to control them.
1. Necessary Cookies and Storage
These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. NEXT_LOCALE (cookie, 1 year) remembers your language choice. When you sign in, the server sets elysia_session (HttpOnly cookie, SameSite=Lax, 30 days) — it keeps you signed in across tabs and browser restarts and is not readable by JavaScript, so injected scripts cannot steal it. localStorage holds functional data: recently used tools, chat workspace history, and a random client id that lets us attach your anonymous tool runs to your account after you sign in. Uploaded files are processed in temporary storage and Cloudflare R2 and are automatically deleted within hours.
2. Consent
The elysia_consent_v1 cookie (1 year) stores your cookie choices as simple flags for analytics and advertising. If you reject or customize, only the necessary category runs. You can change your choice anytime via "Cookie settings" in the footer. When this policy changes materially, the version in the cookie name is bumped and we ask for your consent again.
3. Analytics and Advertising
If you enable analytics, Google Analytics sets its cookies to measure which tools are used. If you enable advertising, Google and its partners may set advertising cookies to show personalized ads based on your visits. Both categories are denied by default through Google Consent Mode and only activate after your explicit choice. You can additionally opt out of personalized advertising via Google's Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads).
4. Payments (Creem)
When you start a subscription, our payment provider Creem may set cookies on its own domain to prevent fraud and remember your payment method. These are governed by Creem's privacy policy; we only receive your billing email, plan, and subscription status.
5. Managing Cookies
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings at any time; the necessary category may then limit site functionality (for example, your language choice or sign-in may not persist). The Cookie settings link in the footer always reopens the consent panel.
