Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how visitors use their site.

We believe in privacy first.

That’s why Best Chinese Name Generator does not use any cookies at this time. Our website operates without tracking scripts, analytics tools, or advertising pixels. When you use our tool, no cookies are placed on your device by our servers.

3. Local Storage We Use

While we don’t use cookies, our website does utilize your browser’s localStorage feature to enhance your experience:

  • Recently Generated Names: We store the last 5 names you’ve generated in your browser’s localStorage. This allows you to quickly access your name history without creating an account.
  • Your Preferences: We may save your selected style preferences (gender, name length, style category) to provide a more personalized experience.

This data is:

  • Stored only on your own device
  • Never transmitted to our servers
  • Accessible only to you
  • Can be cleared anytime by clicking the “Clear history” button on our website or clearing your browser’s local storage

4. Third-Party Services

Current Third-Party Services

We may include social media sharing buttons (e.g., Facebook, X, Reddit) on our website. These third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We have no control over these cookies. If you click on a social sharing button, please review the privacy policy of that respective service.

Future Advertising (Google AdSense)

Currently, our website displays no third-party advertisements and sets no tracking cookies.

However, if we decide to monetize our website through Google AdSense or similar advertising networks in the future, those third parties may place cookies, web beacons, or similar tracking technologies on your browser to:

  • Serve relevant advertisements based on your browsing behavior
  • Track impressions and clicks on advertisements
  • Build user profiles for advertising purposes

These advertising cookies are controlled by Google and other ad networks, not by us. They are subject to each respective company’s own privacy policies and cookie policies.

When we introduce advertising, we will update this Cookie Policy and notify you of the changes.

Do Not Track

We respect the “Do Not Track” browser setting. When you enable this option in your browser, our website will not use localStorage for tracking purposes.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes:

  • We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page
  • For significant changes, we will provide a more prominent notice (such as a banner on our homepage)
  • Your continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

7. International Compliance

GDPR (European Union)

Since we currently use no cookies and collect no personal data, we are compliant with GDPR requirements regarding cookies and tracking. If we introduce advertising cookies in the future, we will:

  • Obtain your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies
  • Provide clear information about what cookies are used
  • Give you the option to accept or reject cookies

CCPA/CalOPPA (California)

We do not sell any personal information, as we do not collect any. Our use of localStorage is solely for enhancing your user experience with your explicit permission.

PIPL (China)

We do not use any cookies or tracking technologies that would fall under PIPL regulations. If this changes in the future, we will ensure full compliance with Chinese data protection laws.
