What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to keep. Local storage is a similar space inside your browser where a page can save a small value. Both can remember a choice you made, and some are used to measure or personalise advertising.

What YTDownloader stores

YTDownloader itself does not set cookies. The only thing the site saves in your browser is one local-storage value named theme, which remembers whether you picked light or dark mode. It stays on your device, is not sent to us, and is not used to identify you.

You do not need an account to use the tool, so there are no login or session cookies.

Advertising cookies

This site may show ads from Google AdSense. Where ads are shown, Google and its partners can use cookies to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this site and other sites. These are third-party cookies, set by those services and not by YTDownloader.

You can turn off personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings and read how Google uses advertising cookies. Both links are listed under the official sources below.

How to control cookies

Every major browser lets you see, block and delete cookies and stored site data. The wording differs between Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and Opera, but you can usually find it under privacy or site settings. Blocking cookies does not stop the downloader from working, though your light or dark mode choice may not be remembered.

Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies.
