Cookie Policy
Learn how CapitalizeText.live may use essential, preference, analytics, advertising, security, and consent cookies and how to manage your choices.
Effective date: September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how CapitalizeText.live may use cookies and similar browser technologies.
The exact cookies present on the live site depend on the services that are currently enabled. The cookie consent interface and policy should be updated when analytics, advertising, security, or other providers are added or removed.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data stored by a website or related service in your browser.
Cookies can help a website:
- Remember preferences
- Maintain consent choices
- Improve security
- Measure usage
- Deliver advertising
- Prevent fraud
- Understand performance
Some cookies last only for the browser session. Others can remain for a defined period.
Similar Technologies
Websites can also use:
- Local storage
- Session storage
- Pixels
- Tags
- SDK style browser scripts
- Device or browser identifiers
- Consent strings
This policy uses “cookies” broadly when explaining related website storage technologies, although the technical mechanisms are not identical.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies or storage are used when necessary for core site functions.
Examples can include:
- Security
- Load balancing
- Fraud prevention
- Consent status
- Basic preferences required for functionality
Essential technologies may not require the same consent as advertising or analytics cookies, depending on applicable law.
Blocking them can affect site operation.
Preference Cookies
Preference storage can remember choices such as:
- Last selected capitalization style
- Case mode
- Interface preferences
- Cookie settings
- Accessibility related preferences
If these features are implemented, they should be used to make repeat visits more convenient rather than to build an unrelated profile.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to understand general website usage.
Analytics can help measure:
- Page visits
- Navigation paths
- Device categories
- Approximate geographic trends
- Performance
- Errors
- Engagement
Where legally required, analytics cookies should not be set before the user provides the necessary consent.
The live consent system should reflect the services actually in use.
Advertising Cookies
If CapitalizeText.live displays third party advertising, advertising providers such as Google may use cookies or similar technologies for:
- Ad delivery
- Frequency control
- Measurement
- Fraud prevention
- Personalized advertising where allowed
- Nonpersonalized advertising where required or selected
Advertising choices and legal requirements differ by country and region.
Users should be offered appropriate controls where required.
Google AdSense and Related Advertising
If Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with ad delivery and measurement.
The implementation should comply with Google's publisher requirements and applicable consent obligations.
The live site should also provide the relevant consent controls for users in regions where they are required.
Consent Management
A consent banner or consent management platform may store your choices.
This allows the site to remember whether you:
- Accepted optional cookies
- Rejected optional cookies
- Chose specific categories
- Withdrew consent
The consent mechanism itself may need essential storage so that the website does not ask the same question on every page load.
Browser Based Capitalization and Cookies
The core capitalization operation does not need advertising or analytics cookies in order to change letter case.
If the converter processes text locally in the browser, that functionality should remain conceptually separate from tracking and advertising services.
A user should not have to agree to unnecessary tracking merely to uppercase or lowercase text where local processing can perform the task.
Local Storage for Tool Preferences
The website may use local storage to remember nonessential tool preferences.
For example:
Chicago
could remain selected when the user returns.
Or the site could remember:
Sentence case
as the last used mode.
If text history is stored locally in a future version, the interface should explain that behavior and offer a clear delete option.
How to Manage Cookies
Users can manage cookies through:
- The site's consent settings
- Browser privacy settings
- Browser storage controls
- Private browsing
- Advertising preference controls provided by relevant services
Blocking all cookies can affect some features.
Deleting Cookies
Most browsers allow you to delete stored site data.
Deleting cookies can reset:
- Consent choices
- Preferences
- Analytics identifiers
- Advertising identifiers
- Security state
The next visit may therefore behave like a first visit.
Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Browsers and privacy systems can send signals expressing tracking preferences.
Legal requirements for honoring specific signals vary by jurisdiction.
The website should configure its providers to respect legally required opt out mechanisms where applicable.
Third Party Cookies
A cookie can be set in connection with a third party service embedded or loaded on the site.
Possible providers include:
- Advertising networks
- Analytics platforms
- Security services
- Consent providers
- Video or media embeds
Third parties control their own technologies and privacy policies.
Avoid loading unnecessary third party scripts because each additional provider can increase privacy and performance complexity.
Cookie Retention
Cookie lifetimes vary.
A session cookie can disappear when the browser session ends.
A persistent cookie can remain until:
- Its expiration date
- The user deletes it
- The provider changes it
- Consent is withdrawn where the implementation supports deletion
The live cookie settings panel should show more specific information when technically available.
Changes to the Cookie Policy
This policy may be updated when:
- A new analytics platform is added
- Advertising is enabled or changed
- A consent provider changes
- New preference features are introduced
- Legal requirements change
- A third party service is removed
The effective date should be updated after material changes.
Contact
If you have a question about cookies or believe your consent choice is not being respected, use the Contact page.
Include the browser and a description of the issue, but do not send unnecessary sensitive information.
EDITORIAL RESEARCH NOTES
These notes are for the site editor and do not need to appear as a public section on every page.
The content pack was prepared with reference to current guidance available in September 2026, including:
- APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, especially title case and sentence case capitalization guidance.
- The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition. Current Chicago guidance uses the terms title case and sentence case, capitalizes prepositions of five letters or more in titles, and updates treatment of certain hyphenated prefixed terms.
- MLA Handbook, 9th edition, and current MLA Style Center guidance.
- The Associated Press Stylebook and current AP guidance for composition titles and newsroom style.
- The Bluebook, 22nd edition, released in 2025. Rule 8 addresses capitalization, while additional rules govern legal citation contexts.
- AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition, which remains current in 2026 and is maintained with online updates.
- Current guidance from official style organizations, university style resources, and editorial references used to cross check examples and edition changes.
Before launch, test each style preset against a suite of known examples. Pay special attention to:
- First and last words.
- First word after a colon.
- Four letter prepositions in APA and AP.
- Five letter prepositions in Chicago 18.
- MLA prepositions.
- Infinitive “to.”
- Phrasal verb particles.
- Hyphenated compounds.
- Acronyms.
- Proper names and brands.
- Unicode punctuation.
- Straight and curly quotation marks.
- Text containing line breaks.
- Multiple sentences in sentence case.
- All caps source text.
- Mixed case source text.
