Cookie Policy

Last reviewed on April 24, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how englishtospanish.org ("we", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more generally.

1. What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) by a website you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site's owners and to advertisers. Similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and device identifiers are used for the same purposes, and we treat them the same way in this policy.

2. Cookies We Use

We group cookies into the following categories:

2.1 Strictly Necessary

These are required for the site to function — for example, to remember that you have dismissed a notice or to deliver the page you requested. They do not collect information used for marketing.

2.2 Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how long people stay, and where traffic comes from. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser so that it can distinguish one visit from another. The data is aggregated and used to improve the site. For more information, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

2.3 Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the Internet. This practice is known as interest-based advertising. Cookies from advertising partners may also be used to measure ad performance and to limit the number of times you see the same ad.

As stated by Google, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by services we use on the site. We do not directly control these cookies; they are governed by the third party's own cookie and privacy policies. Third parties currently used on englishtospanish.org include:

  • Google Analytics — site usage measurement. See Google Privacy Policy.
  • Google AdSense — advertising. See How Google uses advertising cookies.
  • MyMemory Translation API — used when you submit text to the homepage translator. MyMemory does not place cookies through our site, but your request is sent to their servers.

4. How to Control or Opt Out of Cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies:

4.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. The exact steps vary by browser — look for a "Privacy" or "Cookies" section in your browser's settings. Blocking all cookies may cause parts of this or other websites to stop working as intended.

4.2 Opting Out of Personalised Advertising

To opt out of personalised advertising specifically (without blocking all cookies), you can:

Note that opting out of personalised advertising does not mean you will see no ads — it means the ads you see are less likely to be tailored to your interests.

4.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. There is no industry-wide standard for how sites should respond to such signals, and we do not currently change our behaviour based on them. You can still control cookies through your browser and through the opt-out links above.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves, or to reflect legal and technical changes. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page.

6. Contact

Questions about this Cookie Policy or about cookies specifically can be sent to [email protected]. For anything else, see our Contact page.
