Cookies and similar storage
Cookies are small values stored by a browser and sent with relevant website requests. Local storage and session storage also keep information on your device, but they are not automatically attached to every request like cookies. Browser caching and page memory serve different purposes again.
The keyboard does not require a login or set a processing-session cookie. It uses browser storage for the features below. A saved draft is not a registered account and is not synchronized to a cloud profile. Statcounter and Yandex Metrica analytics are enabled only on the public live website and can also use cookies or browser storage.
Storage used by the tools
A feature uses its storage when needed. Storage is specific to a browser profile and site address; another browser or device normally has separate data.
| Storage item | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance preference | Local storage remembers light, dark or system appearance. | Until you change the preference or clear site data; no application expiry. |
| Editor formatting | Local storage remembers font, size, text styles, color and text direction. | Until changed or browser site data is cleared; no application expiry. |
| Latest editor draft | Local storage saves the latest text from the keyboard editor for recovery. A new tab can start from this copy. | Until replaced, cleared or removed by the browser; no application expiry. |
| Current-tab draft | Session storage preserves the current tab’s editor draft separately from the latest persistent draft. | For the tab session. Browser session restoration can retain it. |
| Typing mode and keyboard settings | Local and session storage remember Fast, Smart or Simple mode and virtual keyboard settings. | Until changed or the relevant site data is cleared; no application expiry. |
| Word alternatives and editor history | Page memory holds undo/redo states, local alternative menus and a bounded cache of recent Smart lookup results. Smart suggestions are not persisted as a word cache in local or session storage. | Until the page is reloaded or discarded; cached suggestions may expire sooner. Browser back/forward restoration may retain page memory. |
| Public resource cache | The browser may cache fonts, scripts, keyboard layouts and other public resources to make later visits faster. | Managed by the browser and resource cache settings; remove through the browser’s cached-data controls. |
Manage your choices
If browser storage is blocked or unavailable, saving preferences or restoring drafts may fail. You can still type and keep a copy using the available copy or download controls. Browser private modes and session restoration can change storage lifetimes.
- Change light, dark or system appearance using the control in the site header.
- Use Text style above the editor to change formatting preferences. Reset style restores the default typography; text direction is controlled separately in the same dialog.
- Use Clear in the editor to empty the current draft. It is undoable while the page remains open and does not erase other tabs’ drafts.
- Copy or download any text you want to keep before clearing storage or switching devices.
- For broader removal, close other ClavierArabe.io tabs, then use your browser’s settings to clear this site’s data, including local and session storage. Close or reload remaining pages so an open tab does not save its old state again.
- Manage clipboard history, downloaded documents and browser history separately. Clearing site storage does not remove those copies.
Advertising and analytics storage
The public live website uses Statcounter and Yandex Metrica for traffic statistics. Statcounter may use an analytics cookie to distinguish first-time and returning visits. Yandex Metrica may use cookies and local storage for browser identifiers and visit measurement. The exact items and lifetimes depend on the provider and browser; consult Statcounter's Privacy Policy and Yandex Metrica's cookie and storage information. Local development and other hosts do not load these counters.
Statcounter offers an analytics-cookie refusal control; its refusal setting is specific to the browser and device and may need to be set again after clearing cookies. Yandex provides Yandex Metrica opt-out information. Your browser can block cookies, third-party resources or site storage. We do not provide an on-site consent or opt-out control.
Advertising is currently disabled and this version does not load Google Analytics. Yandex Session Replay (Webvisor) is disabled. External search, sharing and i2Suite links lead to separate sites whose cookies and storage follow their own policies.
Smart word lookups, including previews while typing, send the current word to our server, but do not require a login or processing-session cookie. Local draft storage is separate from server request handling. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
