Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit websites or use browser extensions. They help websites and extensions remember your preferences and provide a better user experience.

XSaved uses browser storage mechanisms similar to cookies to store your preferences and bookmark data locally on your device.

How XSaved Uses Browser Storage

XSaved uses Chrome's local storage API to store data directly in your browser. This is similar to cookies but provides more storage space and better security for your bookmark data.

Essential Storage

These storage mechanisms are necessary for the Extension to function:

  • Bookmark Data: Stores your saved bookmarks locally
  • View Preferences: Remembers your preferred display mode (grid/list)
  • Settings: Stores your customization preferences
  • Tags & Folders: Maintains your organizational structure

Analytics Storage (Optional)

We use minimal local storage for anonymous usage statistics:

  • Usage Patterns: Track which features are used most
  • Performance Metrics: Monitor extension load times
  • Error Tracking: Identify and fix bugs

Note: All analytics data is anonymous and cannot be linked to you personally.

Third-Party Cookies

XSaved does NOT use any third-party cookies or tracking services.

We do not integrate with advertising networks, social media platforms, or any third-party analytics services that would place cookies on your device. Your browsing activity while using XSaved remains completely private.

Managing Your Storage

You have full control over the data XSaved stores on your device:

  2. Click on "View permissions and data stored across sites"
  3. Search for "XSaved" and select it
  4. Click "Clear data" to remove all stored information

Uninstall the Extension

Uninstalling XSaved will automatically remove all locally stored data, including your bookmarks and preferences. Make sure to export your bookmarks first if you want to keep them.

Export Your Data

You can export all your bookmarks at any time:

  1. Open XSaved extension
  2. Click on Settings
  3. Select "Export Bookmarks"

Browser Privacy Settings

Your browser provides built-in controls for managing storage and cookies:

  • Block third-party cookies in your browser settings
  • Clear browsing data regularly
  • Use incognito/private browsing mode
  • Enable "Do Not Track" in browser settings

Note: Clearing browser data will remove XSaved's local storage, including your bookmarks.

Data Security

All data stored by XSaved remains on your device and is protected by your browser's security mechanisms:

  • Data is isolated from other websites and extensions
  • Browser storage is encrypted at the operating system level
  • No data is transmitted to external servers
  • Only the XSaved extension can access its stored data

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use browser storage.
