Cookies and Local Storage
Effective
This page lists everything HomeOffice Tools stores in your browser. We have kept it deliberately short because there is very little: no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no cross-site tracking.
Cookies versus local storage
A cookie is a small value a server asks your browser to store and send back with every request to that domain. Local storage is a browser-side key-value store that is never transmitted automatically — only our own JavaScript on this page can read it.
The tools here use local storage, not cookies, to remember your settings. That means your timer preferences never leave your device, and there is nothing for a third party to read along the wire.
What we store
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
ho.timer.home | Resumes the homepage 20-20-20 timer if you reload or revisit mid-interval. | Until you clear site data |
ho.timer.home.settings | Homepage sound and notification preferences. | Until you clear site data |
ho.timer.home.stats | Today's completed breaks and focused minutes on the homepage. | Reset automatically each day |
ho.timer.break | Resumes the Break Timer if you reload or revisit mid-interval. | Until you clear site data |
ho.timer.break.settings | Break Timer preset, custom intervals, sound, notification and auto-start choices. | Until you clear site data |
ho.timer.break.stats | Today's completed breaks and focused minutes in the Break Timer. | Reset automatically each day |
All of these are strictly functional: they exist so the timer does not reset every time you reload. None of them identify you, and none are shared with anyone.
Cookies set by our infrastructure provider
This site is delivered through Cloudflare. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies
for security and bot detection — for example __cf_bm, which supports bot
management and expires within about 30 minutes. These are set by the CDN rather than by our
application, are not used for advertising, and are described in Cloudflare's cookie policy.
Advertising and analytics
None are present today. We do not run Google Analytics or any comparable tag, and we do not display advertising. If that changes, we will update this page and our Privacy Policy first, name the partners involved, and ask for consent where the law requires it.
How to clear or block storage
Clearing site data for homeoffice-ai.com removes every item in the table above and resets the timers to their defaults. The site continues to work fully afterwards — you simply lose your saved preferences and today's count.
- Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → See all site data and permissions → search for homeoffice-ai.com → delete.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data → search for homeoffice-ai.com → Remove Selected.
- Safari (macOS): Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search for
homeoffice-ai.com→ Remove. - iOS Safari: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data → search for the site → Delete.
You can also block all cookies in your browser settings. Because our tools rely on local storage rather than cookies, blocking cookies alone will not stop them from remembering your settings; blocking all site data will.
