Privacy policy

Last updated October 11, 2026

Binary Text Translator is run by Cozy Cog. This page explains what we collect when you use our tools, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It covers every tool Cozy Cog runs. "We", "us" and "our" mean Cozy Cog.

What we collect

  • What you type into a tool. The tool works in your browser and shows your result right away. We do not store your answers unless you ask us to email you your result.
  • Your email address, only if you give it. Giving it is optional; you see your result either way. If you ask for an email, we keep your address, the answers shown in your result, and the time you asked, and we first send a link to confirm the address is yours.
  • Visit information. Like most websites, our servers receive your IP address and browser details. We count visits to each tool by day.
  • Paid-link clicks. When you click a paid link, we record the time, which offer you clicked, your browser details, a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address, and the ad click ID if you came from an ad.
  • Ad click ID. If you came from a Microsoft ad, the web address includes a click ID (“msclkid”). We keep it in a cookie for 90 days so we can tell which ad brought you here. We do not keep it if your browser sends Global Privacy Control.

How we use it

  • To show your result and, if you ask, to email it to you along with occasional updates about the same tool.
  • To see which tools and ads work, so we can improve them or shut them down.
  • To match the payments our partners report, and to stop fraud and abuse.
  • To follow the law.

Paid links

Some tools show offers from other companies. Each one is marked “Paid link.” If you click one, you leave our site, and the other company’s own privacy policy applies there. We may be paid if you sign up or buy something. We send the company a click number, and the Microsoft ad click ID if you came from a Microsoft ad, so it can tell us the click led to a sale; neither includes your name or email address.

Services we use

We load the first three services below only for visitors in the United States. Outside the United States, none of them loads.

  • Microsoft Advertising (UET tag). Measures whether our ads lead to visits and actions on our sites. Microsoft collects or receives personal data from you through this tag, such as the pages you visit on our sites and what you do on them, and uses it as described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement. The tag can set cookies. You can turn off personalized ads from Microsoft in your Microsoft ad settings.
  • Google Analytics. Counts visits and shows how people use our pages. It sets cookies. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
  • Microsoft Clarity. Records how people use our pages, such as clicks, scrolling and replays of visits, so we can fix confusing parts. It hides what you type and the results our tools show. It sets cookies. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
  • Running the sites and sending email. Vercel hosts our sites, Supabase stores our records, ActiveCampaign keeps our email lists, and Amazon Web Services sends our emails. They work for us and may use the information only to provide their service.

Cookies

  • bets_msclkid (ours): the Microsoft ad click ID, kept 90 days. Not set with Global Privacy Control.
  • bets_trk (ours): set only for visitors in the United States, so the page knows it may load the services above. Kept 1 day.
  • Microsoft Advertising cookies, such as _uetsid and _uetvid: measure ad results. Not set with Global Privacy Control.
  • Google Analytics cookies, such as _ga: count visits. Not used with Global Privacy Control.
  • Microsoft Clarity cookies, such as _clck and _clsk: link page views in one visit. Not used with Global Privacy Control.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Our tools still work without them.

Global Privacy Control

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends it, we do not load Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity, we tell Microsoft’s ad tag not to use cookies, and we do not keep the ad click ID. Microsoft’s tag may still count the visit without cookies. GPC applies to the browser and device that sends it.

Selling and sharing

We do not sell your email address or your answers, and we do not give them to advertisers. Using Microsoft’s ad tag and keeping the ad click ID may count as “sharing” for targeted advertising under some U.S. state privacy laws. To opt out, turn on GPC in your browser, or email us at hello@cozycog.com.

Email

We only email you if you ask and confirm the address is yours. We send the result you asked for and occasional updates about the same tool. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and one click stops our emails. After you unsubscribe, we keep your address on a do-not-email list so we do not email you again, and we remove your answers and results from our records and from our email list. If we sell a tool, its email list and records may go to the new owner, who must treat them the way this policy says.

How long we keep it

  • Your email address and result: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them (then only the do-not-email record stays).
  • If you never confirm your address, we remove your answers and result after 7 days.
  • Visit counts: daily totals per tool, with nothing that identifies you.
  • Paid-link click records: the record that a paid link was clicked stays so partner payments can be checked; the scrambled IP address, browser details and ad click ID in it are removed after 90 days.

Your choices and rights

You can ask what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email hello@cozycog.com from the address you gave us and say what you want. We answer within 45 days. We will not treat you differently for asking.

Children

Our tools are meant for adults. If you are under 18, please do not give us your email address.

Security

Our sites use encrypted connections (HTTPS), and only the people and services that need our records can reach them. No system is perfect, so we cannot promise that information will never be exposed.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
