1. What Are Cookies & Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet device whenever you visit a website. They act as a memory for web applications, allowing websites to recognize your browser, store preferences (like language settings), and track statistical usage metrics.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
We may also use other tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, or local storage, to gather similar diagnostic data for website optimization and programmatic ad rendering.
2. How and Why We Use Cookies
As a free tool, we rely on cookies to maintain operational security and deliver targeted advertisements to fund our servers. We use cookies to:
- Remember basic configurations (such as paste validation settings).
- Understand how visitors interact with our website through aggregated, anonymous analytics.
- Deliver relevant and non-intrusive advertisements that fund our free hosting.
- Detect and block automated scraping bots, rate-limit abuse, and DDoS attacks.
3. Classifications of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into three main groups:
Essential & Technical Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the core functionality and security of the website. They enable paste validation scripts, loading spinners, and protect our forms from spam. Without these cookies, basic page navigation and the processing of download links would not work properly.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often or if error messages occur. All data gathered by these cookies is aggregated and therefore completely anonymous. We use this data solely to improve our website's speed and stability.
Targeting & Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
