Cookie Policy
A cookie is a small piece of data that a site stores in your browser and reads back on your next request. NoiseClear uses a small number of cookies, and each one exists to make the tool work. We do not use cookies to build an advertising profile, and we do not follow you to other sites.
What cookies are and what we use them for
A cookie is a small piece of data that a site stores in your browser and reads back on your next request. NoiseClear uses a small number of cookies, and each one exists to make the tool work. We do not use cookies to build an advertising profile, and we do not follow you to other sites.
The cookies we set
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| nc_session | Keeps your upload session alive and links a processing task to your browser while you wait for the result. | Expires when your browser session ends. |
| nc_limit | Helps apply the free monthly limit to your browser, so the free quota is counted correctly. | Up to 24 hours. |
Both of these are first-party cookies set by NoiseClear. They hold a random identifier and technical values, not your name, your email address, or the content of your files.
Cookies set by others
If you go through checkout, the payment provider may set its own cookies on its pages to keep the payment session secure. Those cookies belong to the provider and are covered by the provider's own cookie and privacy policies, not by this page. We do not run third-party advertising or analytics cookies.
Server-side records
Some of the work that people expect from cookies is done in the cloud instead. To apply the free monthly limit and to block abuse, we log the IP address that made a request, the time of the request, and how many minutes of audio or video were processed. Those records are described in the Privacy Policy. You cannot switch them off from your browser, because they do not live in your browser.
No advertising or cross-site tracking
We do not use advertising cookies, we do not run cross-site tracking pixels, and we do not share cookie data with ad networks. We do count visits, and the tool that counts them runs on a server we control: it sets no cookies at all, which is why it does not appear in the table above, and it does not follow you to other sites.
How to turn cookies off
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, usually under a settings menu named something like Privacy or Site Data:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and Site data.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which clears cookies when you close it.
What happens if you turn cookies off
If you block cookies from NoiseClear, the session cookie cannot keep your upload session alive and the limit cookie cannot be read. Uploads may fail, or the result may not come back to your browser. The free monthly quota depends on these cookies, so you may not be able to use the free tier at all. Paying for a single file still depends on the session cookie, so it will not work either.
Changes to this policy
If we change which cookies the site uses, we will update this page and change the date below.
