Which cookies RandomCount uses, who sets them, and how to control them.
Cookies are tiny data files that a website may save in your browser to remember certain information during or between visits.
RandomCount uses cookies for three purposes:
Most of our tools, including the word counter, the random generators and the image converters, run inside your browser, so what you type or upload stays on your device. The Background Remover is the one exception: your image is uploaded to our server and sent to remove.bg for processing, and both copies are deleted within 24 hours. Whatever you type, paste or upload into any tool is never stored in a cookie.
The table below lists the cookies that may be set when you visit RandomCount. Our own code sets only rc_consent; every other cookie comes from Google's services and is set only when the matching category is allowed.

AdSense cookies appear only on pages where Google serves an ad. FCCDCF and FCNEC are set only for visitors who are shown Google's consent message. Third-party cookie names and durations are set by those providers and may change.
The word counter also uses your browser's local storage, which works like a cookie but is never sent to our server or to anyone else.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |

RandomCount | Shows your running and daily word-count totals; the text you count is not saved | Functional (local storage) | Until you clear site data |
Advertising partners such as Google may use cookies to tailor advertisements based on your browsing activity on this site and other websites, depending on your advertising settings.
RandomCount shows ads through Google AdSense, and Google decides which ads appear. Whether those ads are personalized depends on your choice. If you allow advertising cookies, Google and its partners may use them to personalize and measure ads. If you reject them, Google does not use advertising cookies on this site for personalization and may still show non-personalized ads, which are chosen from context such as the page content and your approximate location.
The IDE cookie belongs to Google's doubleclick.net domain, so RandomCount cannot read or delete it. You can delete stored cookies through your browser's privacy controls and adjust available Google advertising preferences through Google Ads Settings.
Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You may update or revoke your cookie consent whenever the available settings allow. Your updated choices will be applied according to the website's consent system. The options for managing your preferences are outlined below.
IDE, stay until you clear them in your browser.Blocking all cookies may stop parts of some websites from working, and opting out of personalized ads means the ads you see will be less relevant, not that ads disappear.
How consent works depends on where you are visiting from:
We work out which option applies from your device's time zone and from whether Google's consent message is shown. If this places you in the wrong region, for example while using a VPN, the "Cookie settings" link and your browser controls remain available.
We update this page when we add, remove or change a service that sets cookies. The date displayed at the beginning of this policy indicates the most recent revision of this document. For the wider picture of how we handle personal data, read our Privacy Policy.
Google and other third-party vendors use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can manage or opt out of personalised ads at Google Ads Settings. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
