Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how MorseCodeGenerator.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use this website (the “Service”).

Quick summary

• The translator runs locally in your browser. We do not require accounts or logins to use the tool.
• We use analytics (Google Analytics 4) to understand general usage (for example, which pages are popular).
• We may show ads (Google AdSense). Ads and analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers depending on your settings and region.
• You can control cookies/ads via your browser settings and Google’s ad/analytics controls.

Information we process

1) Information you provide

If you contact us by email, you provide your email address and the content of your message. We use it only to respond. Contact: morsecodegenerator@gmail.com.

2) Usage data (analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure and improve the Service. GA4 may collect information such as: page views, approximate location, device/browser information, and interaction events. We configure GA4 with IP anonymization (where supported) to reduce identifiability.

3) Advertising data (AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display ads. AdSense may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and measure performance. Depending on your region and settings, Google may serve personalized or non-personalized ads.

4) Translator input

The translator runs in your browser. We do not intentionally collect the text you type into the translator through the website’s own servers. However, remember that your browser, extensions, operating system, or third-party scripts may still have access to what you type.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Analytics and advertising providers may use cookies, local storage, or similar identifiers for measurement, fraud prevention, and ad delivery.

Cookie consent banner & Google Consent Mode

On your first visit you'll see a banner asking you to choose between Accept all (analytics + ads cookies enabled) and Essential only (nothing loaded). Your choice is stored locally as mcg-consent in your browser's localStorage — not in a server-side cookie — and is honoured on every subsequent page load.

We use Google Consent Mode v2. Before you choose, all storage and advertising signals default to denied: no cookies or other identifiers are written to your device. In this state Google Analytics sends only cookieless, non-identifying signals that Google uses to model aggregate usage — we never receive or store anything that identifies you. Cookies and personalized/measurement storage are enabled only if you click Accept all. If you click Essential only, we treat it as a full opt-out and load no analytics or ad scripts at all.

You can change your decision at any time by clicking Cookie preferences in the site footer. Switching from "Accept all" back to "Essential only" stops analytics and ad scripts from being loaded on the next pageview; already-loaded scripts may persist in the current tab until you reload. Clearing your browser's site data will also clear your preference (the banner will reappear).

Funding & disclosure
