This Cookie Policy explains how PomodoroTimers.net (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy for a full understanding of how we handle data.

By continuing to use PomodoroTimers.net, you agree to the use of cookies and related technologies as described in this Cookie Policy.


1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, remember user preferences, and improve overall usability by storing small amounts of information related to your visit.

Cookies may be:

  • Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted

2. Cookies and Technologies We Use

PomodoroTimers.net uses cookies and browser-based storage technologies solely to support core website functionality and improve user experience. We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking.

The technologies we may use include:

  • First-party cookies
  • Browser local storage
  • Similar client-side storage mechanisms

These technologies are essential for providing a smooth and consistent Pomodoro timer experience.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and local storage for the following purposes:

  • Timer Functionality: To save your selected Pomodoro duration, short break length, and long break length so you do not need to reconfigure the timer every time you visit.
  • User Preferences: To remember your sound settings, interface preferences, and other customization options that improve usability.
  • Task Persistence: To store your task list and session progress locally so it remains available between browser sessions.
  • Stability and Performance: To ensure the website operates correctly and maintains a consistent experience across visits.

All stored data is limited to what is necessary for these functions.

4. Types of Cookies Used

a) Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for PomodoroTimers.net to function properly. Without these cookies, key features such as the timer, saved preferences, and task persistence may not work as intended.

These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled through our website.

b) Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember your chosen settings and preferences, such as:

  • Timer durations
  • Sound preferences
  • Interface behavior

These cookies help provide a personalized and efficient experience but do not track you outside of PomodoroTimers.net.

5. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, PomodoroTimers.net uses browser local storage to store timer-related information directly on your device. Local storage allows larger or persistent data (such as task lists or completed session counts) to be saved locally without being sent to our servers.

Data stored in local storage:

  • Remains on your device
  • Is not accessible to third parties
  • Is not transmitted to PomodoroTimers.net servers

You may delete this data at any time through your browser settings.

6. Third-Party Cookies

PomodoroTimers.net does not use third-party advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or behavioral analytics cookies. Any future addition of third-party services that use cookies will be disclosed clearly in this policy.

7. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have full control over cookies and local storage through your browser settings. You may:

  • Block or delete cookies
  • Clear browser local storage
  • Configure alerts when cookies are being set

Please note that disabling cookies or local storage may limit certain features, such as saved timer settings or task persistence.

8. Legal Basis for Cookie Use (GDPR Notice)

Where applicable, cookies used by PomodoroTimers.net are considered strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Therefore, they do not require explicit consent under applicable data protection laws such as the GDPR.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or website functionality. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
