This is the Cookie and Local Storage Policy for the Torii Image Translator website and browser extension.
As is common practice with almost all professional websites and modern browser extensions, we use cookies
and local storage (such as chrome.storage) to improve your experience. Cookies are tiny files
downloaded to your device, whereas local storage allows the extension to persist settings directly within
your browser. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we need to store
them. We will also share how you can manage or disable them, though doing so may downgrade or disrupt
certain elements of the service's functionality.
We use cookies and local web storage for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies or local storage without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this service. It is highly recommended that you keep cookies and storage enabled if you are unsure whether you need them, in case they are required to deliver a service you use.
You can prevent the setting of cookies and storage by adjusting the settings in your web browser (consult your browser's Help menu for instructions). Be aware that disabling cookies or storage will affect the functionality of the Torii website and extension, as well as many other websites you visit. Disabling them will usually result in also disabling critical functionalities. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable them.
We use secure cookies when you are logged in to remember your active session. This prevents you from having to log in every single time you navigate to a new page or perform a translation. These cookies are automatically cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when authenticated.
We use performance cookies, on an aggregate basis, to analyze how our website and extension are used. This information includes the date and time of visits, time spent on our website, page load times, response times, and download/upload error details. This helps us optimize page speeds, track interaction trends, and troubleshoot system performance.
The Torii browser extension utilizes Chrome's local storage APIs to cache your customized settings (such as target languages, translation models, hotkeys, inpainting modes, and your credit balance). This ensures a seamless user experience when you open the extension across different tabs.
We hope this explanation has clarified how we use cookies and web storage. As mentioned previously, if you are unsure whether you need them or not, it is generally safer to leave them enabled to ensure all functions operate as intended.
