What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember your device, preferences, and login sessions across visits. Modern web technologies also utilize HTML5 LocalStorage to persist client-side accessibility settings efficiently without sending redundant data over the network.
A11yGo Toolbar Zero-Tracking Isolation
Client-Side Preference Persistence
When visitors use the A11yGo Toolbar on any client website, their accessibility selections (e.g. High Contrast, Font Size, Dyslexia Font, Big Cursor) are stored strictly within their own browser's localStorage. We do NOT track visitor identities, inject third-party advertising cookies, or record individual user activity across domains.
How We Use Cookies on a11ygo.website
On our marketing portal and administrative customer dashboard, cookies are used for:
- Authentication & Security: Keeping administrators securely authenticated and preventing CSRF cross-site request forgery.
- Consent Tracking: Remembering whether you have acknowledged our Cookie Consent Banner (
site_cookie_consent). - Performance Diagnostics: Aggregated, anonymized telemetry for server latency optimization.
