# Privacy Policy (Cookie Consent Handler)
Effective date: February 16, 2026
Cookie Consent Handler is designed to process cookie-consent banners directly in your browser based on your chosen settings.
## Data Collection
Cookie Consent Handler does not collect personal data.
- No analytics
- No telemetry
- No advertising identifiers
- No remote logging
## Data Transmission
Cookie Consent Handler does not transmit browsing activity, page content, or user identifiers to external servers.
## Local Storage
The extension stores settings in `chrome.storage.sync`:
- extension enabled/disabled state
- detection enabled/disabled state
- selected mode (Manual, Auto-Reject, Auto-Accept)
- allowlist and blocklist hostnames
- per-site override hostnames
This storage is used only to keep your preferences consistent across your signed-in Chrome profile.

It is designed to avoid clicking unrelated links, forms, and authentication actions.
If confidence is low, the extension takes no action.
