Cookie Policy
Last reviewed on April 27, 2026.
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies xscript.net uses, why they are used, and how you can control them. It complements the privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places in your browser. Some cookies are read only by the site you are visiting (first-party); others are read by external services that the site embeds, like analytics or advertising providers (third-party). Browsers also use related technologies — local storage, session storage, pixels — and the same controls described below typically apply to them.
Categories of cookies used on xscript.net
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Allow core pages to load and tools to remember settings within a single visit (for example, the chaos slider on the glitch text page). | Session storage, in-memory state. |
| Analytics | Measure aggregate traffic and tool usage so the site can be improved. The data is not used to identify individual visitors. | Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*). |
| Advertising | Serve and measure ads, including personalized advertising where allowed. Set by Google and its certified ad partners. | Google AdSense (__gads, __gpi, NID, IDE, and similar). |
The exact set of advertising cookies depends on which Google-certified partners participate in a given ad auction, your region, and the ad personalization settings on your Google account. Google publishes its current list of vendors and the cookies they use in its cookies policy.
Google AdSense
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to xscript.net or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on those visits.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info or, in the EU, Your Online Choices.
How to control cookies in your browser
Every modern browser provides built-in controls for cookies. You can usually:
- View and delete the cookies stored by individual sites.
- Block all third-party cookies, which removes most advertising and cross-site tracking cookies.
- Switch on a "do not track" or "global privacy control" signal that the browser sends to sites and services.
- Clear all browsing data when you close the browser, so cookies do not persist between sessions.
The exact menu names differ between Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and others, but the controls are typically grouped under "Privacy" or "Site settings". Disabling cookies in your browser may affect some site features, but the visual tools on xscript.net will still load and run.
Mobile device controls
On mobile devices, advertising identifiers are managed at the operating-system level rather than by the browser:
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, and Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads, where you can reset or delete the advertising ID and opt out of personalization.
Changes to this policy
This page may be updated when the cookies in use change, when third-party providers update their practices, or when applicable law changes. The "Last reviewed on" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent update.
