Privacy & Cookies Policy

Codec Bench is a set of free, browser-only encoding and conversion tools, operated by an independent developer at codec64.com. Privacy questions: sebpydev@outlook.com.

Everything you enter is processed in your browser only. It is never sent to our servers, to Google Analytics, or to anyone else — not even after you accept analytics cookies.

If you accept, we use Google Analytics to see which pages are used. It collects your IP-derived approximate location, device and browser type, and which pages you view. Google Analytics processes this data as our data processor. Nothing from Google Analytics loads until you accept. Read Google's privacy policy.

Every page requests the IBM Plex Sans and JetBrains Mono typefaces from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, before any cookie decision. These requests do not set cookies; they only serve font files needed to render the page as designed.

These cookies are only set after you accept analytics; rejecting means none of them is ever set.

The consent record itself is stored in your browser's local storage, not a cookie, and is strictly necessary — see Withdrawing consent below.

Under UK PECR and UK GDPR, we only set these non-essential cookies with your prior consent. You can accept or reject with equal ease, and withdraw consent at any time — see below.

You have the right to access, erase, object to, and port your data, and to exercise these rights by emailing sebpydev@outlook.com. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, such as the UK's Information Commissioner's Office.

Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page to reopen the cookie banner and change your choice at any time. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and is re-asked every 6 months.

This policy may change. The current version is always the one on this page.
