The short version: My Invoice Generator itself does not set any tracking cookies. We use your browser's local storage (not cookies) to save your invoice data and preferences on your device. We do run Google AdSense to display ads, which sets advertising cookies of its own; see Section 4 for details and how to opt out.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. They are commonly used to remember login sessions, user preferences, and to track behaviour across websites for advertising purposes.

Browser local storage is a related but separate mechanism. Like cookies, it stores data on your device; unlike cookies, local storage data is never automatically sent to a server with every request, and it does not expire unless explicitly deleted.

2. Our Approach to Cookies

My Invoice Generator itself does not set any first-party cookies on your device. We deliberately chose local storage over cookies for storing your invoice data because it offers stronger privacy guarantees: the data never leaves your browser unless you explicitly export or download it.

We do run Google AdSense to display advertising on this site, which sets its own advertising cookies (see Section 4) independently of anything we control. If you are visiting from the EU or UK, those cookies may require your consent under ePrivacy/GDPR rules; you can decline or withdraw consent for personalised ads at any time through Google Ads Settings.

3. Local Storage We Use

My Invoice Generator stores the following items in your browser's local storage. All items are stored under the origin my-invoice-generator.com and are not accessible to other websites.

Key Contents Purpose Expires
My Invoice Generator_v2 Your most recently saved invoice (line items, addresses, settings) Restores your work on your next visit Until you clear site data
My Invoice Generator_history Array of up to 50 previously saved invoices Powers the Invoice History page Until you clear site data or delete entries
My Invoice Generator_theme "dark" or "light" Remembers your colour-mode preference Until you clear site data

None of these local storage items contain personally identifiable information beyond the content you have explicitly typed into the invoice form (company names, addresses, etc.). None of this data is ever transmitted to our servers.

4. Third-Party Requests

When you visit My Invoice Generator, your browser makes requests to the following third-party services to load fonts and libraries. These providers may set their own cookies or use other tracking technologies, subject to their own policies.

We have no control over the cookies set by these third parties. If you wish to block them, you can use a browser extension such as uBlock Origin, use the opt-out links above, or configure your browser's cookie settings.
