Cookie Policy
Name Generator uses as few cookies as possible: only anonymous analytics, with no advertising or cross-site tracking.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember something about your visit — for example, that you have been here before.
Cookies we use
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), which sets first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. These measure anonymous, aggregated traffic: which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors come from, and what kind of device they use. They do not contain the names you generate, and they are not used to identify you personally.
Cookies we do NOT use
- No advertising or remarketing cookies.
- No cross-site or third-party tracking cookies.
- No cookies that personalize content or remember the names you create (those stay in your browser's local storage, on your device only).
Why we use them
Aggregate analytics help us understand which tools are useful so we can improve them. They are not linked to you as an individual.
Managing cookies
- Block or delete cookies anytime in your browser's privacy settings.
- Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser.
- Install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.
- The name generators work fully with analytics cookies disabled.

GA4 cookies typically persist for about two years, after which they refresh.
