1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website, or a service it uses, can save in your browser. They can remember settings, help a page work, or help advertisers deliver and measure ads.
2. What local browser storage is
Local storage is a feature of your browser that lets a website save small pieces of information on your device. Unlike cookies, it is not sent automatically to a server with each request.
3. How clocbox uses browser storage
clocbox itself does not set cookies. It uses local storage only to remember your preferences on this device: theme, Night Mode, time zone, focus duration (including a custom duration), and Pixel Shift. This information stays in your browser and is not sent to clocbox's servers. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.
4. How advertising providers use cookies
clocbox shows advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and, where allowed, show ads based on your interests and previous visits to this and other websites.

- Google Partner Sites: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

5. Analytics
clocbox does not add its own analytics cookies or tracking scripts. Aggregate visit statistics may be produced by the hosting platform, as described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Managing cookies and storage
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and site data in their settings, and some offer private browsing that clears them when you close the window. You can turn off personalized ads from Google in My Ad Center.
Browser settings may not stop every type of advertising technology, and blocking cookies may still leave you seeing ads, just less relevant ones. Clearing site data will also reset your clocbox preferences.
7. Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
Where the law requires your consent before advertising cookies are used, Google may show a consent message on behalf of clocbox. Your choices in that message control how Google uses cookies for advertising on this website.
