Cookie & Tracking Technology Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2026 | Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Executive Privacy Principle
ChatGrow is built on data minimisation. Our public marketing website uses only strictly necessary technologies by default. Optional analytics and marketing telemetry are blocked until you grant explicit affirmative consent. Furthermore, our free WhatsApp tools operate 100% locally in your browser memory without creating tracking cookies or sending your data to our servers.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) enables websites to store small amounts of state data directly on your device. These technologies help websites recognize your browser, remember user settings, ensure security, and understand how pages are navigated.

3. Free Tools Privacy Guarantee
When using our public WhatsApp utilities — including the WhatsApp Chat Button Generator and the WhatsApp QR Code Generator — all computation and QR code generation occurs 100% locally in your browser memory using client-side JavaScript. We do not place tracking cookies, store phone numbers, log pre-filled messages, or retain business names.
4. How to Manage Your Consent Preferences
You have the right to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies at any time:
- On-Site Consent Center: You can open our preference manager at any moment by clicking the button below or using the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of any page.
