This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on Elf Names Generator, what each one is for, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.
What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Local storage does a similar job: it lets a site keep a little information on your device between visits. Some of this storage is needed for a site to work the way you expect. Some is used by advertisers to choose and measure ads.
Storage set by this site
We don't set any cookies of our own. We use your browser's local storage for the following, and none of it is ever sent to us:
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
mf.saved | Keeps the names you've starred so they're still there next time | Until you clear your browser data |
mf.opts | Remembers your generator settings, such as gender and elf type | Until you clear your browser data |
mf.avatar | Remembers your avatar maker choices, such as size and colours | Until you clear your browser data |
eng.cookies | Remembers that you've closed the cookie notice | Until you clear your browser data |
These are needed for the features to work, so they don't require consent. If you block them, the site still works, but it won't remember your names or settings.
Cookies set by advertising partners
The site is funded by ads served by Google AdSense. When ads are shown, Google and its partners may set cookies such as __gads, __gpi and IDE. They use them to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure how ads perform, prevent fraud and, where you allow it, show ads based on your interests. Google decides how long these cookies last; you can read the details in Google's cookie information.
If you're in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you'll be asked for consent before personalised advertising cookies are set. Elsewhere, you can turn off personalised ads at any time using the options below.
How to control cookies
- Personalised ads: change your choices in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of many ad companies at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and site data. Look under Settings, then Privacy, in Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.
- This site's storage: clearing your browser's data for elfnamesgenerator.online removes your saved names and settings.
Changes
If we add or remove cookies, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
