Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-18
1. What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Translatize ("Translatize," "we," "us," or "our") stores and accesses information on your device when you use translatize.com and the Translatize service. It is incorporated into, and forms part of, our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Where this policy describes how personal data is processed, our Privacy Policy governs the lawful bases, your data-subject rights, and the broader processing terms; in the event of any conflict regarding data processing, the Privacy Policy controls. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms of Service. For questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@translatize.com or support@translatize.com.
2. What We Store on Your Device
Translatize does not use tracking cookies, third-party advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies. Instead, the service relies on your browser's local storage to hold a small set of items on your own device: - Authentication token — keeps you signed in to your account between page loads and sessions. - Language preference — remembers the interface language you have selected. - Cookie/storage preference record — remembers the choices you make under this policy (see Section 5) so we do not repeatedly prompt you. These items are written to and read from your browser as you use the service. We do not use first-party or third-party analytics, behavioral profiling, or advertising technologies, and the data stored in your browser is used solely to deliver the service to you. It is never sold or shared for advertising purposes. Account data and translations you create are stored in our databases (MongoDB) as described in our Privacy Policy, not in browser local storage.
3. Strictly Necessary Storage and Lawful Basis
The authentication token is strictly necessary for the service to function: it is required to keep you signed in and to allow core features such as project management, Git-like translation branching, multi-format import and export (including JSON, Android XML, iOS .strings, and CSV), and AI and machine-translation suggestions to operate. Because this item is strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, it is exempt from prior-consent requirements under applicable ePrivacy rules and is processed on that basis. If you block or remove this strictly necessary storage, you will be signed out and the service will not function until it is restored. The language preference and the storage preference record are functional, not strictly necessary in the ePrivacy sense; they improve your experience but the service can operate without them. We do not classify any non-essential item as strictly necessary, and we do not store AI-suggestion settings or any marketing or profiling identifiers in your browser.
4. How Long Items Persist (Retention)
The authentication token persists for the duration of your authenticated session and is refreshed or removed in line with the session and security settings of the service; it is cleared when you sign out. The language preference and the storage preference record persist until you change them, clear your browser's local storage, or use a different browser or device, at which point they are no longer available and may be set again. None of these items are retained on your device longer than needed for the purposes described above. Server-side retention of your account data and translations is addressed in our Privacy Policy.
5. Your Choices, Consent, and Withdrawal
We do not rely on continued or implied use as a basis for any storage that requires consent. Strictly necessary storage (Section 3) is used without consent because it is required to deliver the service you request. For functional items that are not strictly necessary, you may accept or decline them, and you may change or withdraw your choice at any time — without affecting the lawfulness of anything done before withdrawal. You can manage these items in two ways: (a) through the storage or cookie controls we make available within the service, where you can accept or reject non-essential items individually; and (b) through your browser settings, where you can view, clear, disable, or block local storage at any time. Withdrawing consent for, or clearing, the language preference will reset that setting to its default. Clearing the strictly necessary authentication token will sign you out, after which you must sign in again to continue using the service. To exercise data-subject rights or ask about lawful bases, see our Privacy Policy or contact privacy@translatize.com.
6. Third-Party and Browser-Set Technologies
This policy covers only the storage that Translatize itself sets. We are not responsible for cookies, local storage, or similar technologies that your browser, browser extensions, operating system, network, or other third-party software may set independently of the service, and we do not control them. You should review the relevant third party's own policies to understand and manage those technologies.
7. Customer Responsibilities: Backups and Verification
You are responsible for maintaining your own independent backups of your data, translations, projects, and branches, and for retaining copies of any import and export files you rely on. Local storage on your device is not a backup mechanism and may be cleared by you, your browser, or your system at any time. AI and machine-translation suggestions are provided as automated assistance and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purpose; you are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving any such suggestion before relying on or publishing it. We are not responsible for any consequence arising from your reliance on unverified AI or machine-translation output, or from your failure to maintain adequate backups.
8. No Uptime Guarantee; Right to Modify or Discontinue
The service is provided without any guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free availability, and we do not warrant any particular level of uptime. We may, at our discretion and without liability to you, add, change, suspend, limit, or discontinue all or part of the service or any feature, and we may change the storage items described here or update this policy from time to time. Where required by law, we will provide notice of material changes; otherwise, the updated policy takes effect when posted, and your continued use after a non-consent-based change does not constitute consent to any item that legally requires consent.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the service and all storage and features described in this policy are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We expressly disclaim all implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the service or its storage will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any AI or machine-translation suggestion will be accurate or fit for your purpose. You use the service, and rely on its outputs, at your own risk, and you assume all risk arising from your use of the service to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in this policy excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Translatize and its affiliates, officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, lost or corrupted translations, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to the service, this policy, or any storage or AI or machine-translation output, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In all cases, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the service and this policy will not exceed the greater of the total fees you actually paid to Translatize for the service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100). These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that applicable law prohibits limiting.
11. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Translatize and its affiliates, officers, employees, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the service, your violation of this policy or the Terms of Service, your reliance on unverified AI or machine-translation output, or your infringement of any third-party right in connection with content you import, export, or process through the service.
12. Force Majeure
We will not be liable or in default for any failure or delay in performing, or for any unavailability of the service or its storage features, that results from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental action, epidemic or pandemic, failures of telecommunications or internet infrastructure, power outages, cyberattacks, or failures or acts of third-party service providers, hosting providers, or upstream suppliers.
13. Severability and Blue-Pencil
If any provision of this policy is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or competent authority, that provision will be modified and interpreted to accomplish its objectives to the greatest extent permitted by law, and any limitation of liability, exclusion of damages, or assertion that a storage item is strictly necessary or exempt from consent that is found overbroad will be reduced or read down to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable rather than struck in whole. If it cannot be so modified, that provision will be severed, and the remaining provisions of this policy will continue in full force and effect.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This policy, and any dispute arising out of or relating to it or to the storage described here, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Latvia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and you and Translatize submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Latvia for the resolution of any such dispute, except where applicable mandatory consumer-protection or data-protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings, or requires proceedings to be brought, in the courts of your place of residence. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law applicable in your country of residence.
