Most websites say "we use cookies" and leave it there. We would like to be more useful than that, so this page lists exactly what the public side of this site stores in your browser, what each item does, and how to get rid of it.
What is a cookie, anyway?
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep. Sites use them to remember you, to keep you signed in, or to measure traffic. Browsers also offer a similar feature called local storage, which holds small bits of data for a single site. Both are controlled from your browser settings, and both can be wiped whenever you like.
What we use
No tracking or advertising cookies. The public pages of this website, including the converter, do not set cookies for advertising, retargeting or cross-site tracking. We do not use social media pixels either.
Two items in local storage. To make the site feel less forgetful, your browser may keep two tiny values:
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| tt-theme | Remembers whether you picked light or dark mode, so the page does not flash the wrong colour. | Until you clear it |
| tt-cookie | Remembers that you closed the notice at the bottom of the page, so we do not nag you again. | Until you clear it |
Neither value is sent to our server, and neither identifies you.
A sign-in cookie for the site's team. The administrators who run the site get a session cookie when they log in to the admin area. Ordinary visitors never receive it.
The optional bot-protection widget
Converters attract bots, so the site owner may switch on a service such as Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a visitor is a real person. When it is on, the service loads from Cloudflare and may set its own cookies or similar technology to do its job. Those are controlled by Cloudflare, not by us, and are described in their documentation. If we ever turn this on, the privacy and cookie notices on this site still apply to everything we do ourselves.
Statistics without cookies
We count visits on the server, not with cookies, so nothing extra lands in your browser. How that count works is explained in the Privacy Policy.
Third-party content
The result card shows the cover image of the video you converted. That image is loaded straight from TikTok's servers, which means TikTok can see your browser asked for it. We ask your browser not to send a referrer when it does so. If you would rather avoid that, you can block images from other sites in your browser, and the converter will still work.
How to control or delete what is stored
- Chrome, Edge and Brave: Settings, Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data.
- Safari on iPhone or Mac: Settings or Preferences, Safari, then Privacy and Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
Clearing site data removes the two local values above. The only effect is that the site forgets your colour choice and shows the notice again.
If this changes
If we add analytics, ads or any other service that sets cookies, we will update this page first and ask for consent where the law requires it. You can always check the current list here, and you can ask us questions through the contact page.

A few practical examples
Say you open the converter on your phone at night and flip the theme to dark. The browser saves the tt-theme value, so tomorrow the page opens dark without a flash of white. Say you close the notice at the bottom. The tt-cookie value is saved, and the notice stays away. That is genuinely all that happens on your device, and neither value says anything about who you are, where you are, or what you converted.
If you share a computer with other people, those two values are visible only to someone who opens your browser's developer tools, and even then they are just the words "dark" and "1". There is no identifier in them, and we cannot link them to the links you convert.
Do Not Track and browser privacy modes
Because we do not use tracking cookies on the public site, there is nothing for a Do Not Track signal to switch off, and private or incognito windows behave the same as normal ones, except that your browser throws the two local values away when you close the window. Privacy extensions that block scripts and trackers will not break the converter either, since it does not depend on them.
Cookies and the law
Rules about cookies differ by country. In the European Union and the United Kingdom, consent is generally required for anything that is not strictly necessary. Our two local values are preferences you set yourself, and the admin cookie is only for staff, so we do not rely on tracking consent. If you are in a place with stricter rules and think we have missed something, please tell us. We would much rather fix it than be right about it.
Still unsure about a cookie?
If you want to know more about what a particular browser setting does, your browser's help pages are the best source. If you want to know more about what we do, write to us. We answer in plain language, and we will update this page if your question shows it is unclear.
