COOKIE NOTICE

Last updated October 23, 2026

This Cookie Notice for Hwavoice STT ("we," "us," or "our") describes the cookies and similar technologies we use on https://stt.hwavoice.com (the "Site") and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy (https://stt.hwavoice.com/en/privacy), which describes how we process personal information more generally.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the operators of websites. We also use technologies with a similar function, such as browser local storage.

2. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES WE USE

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

• Sign-in session cookies. When you sign in (including with Google or other sign-in options), we set a session token so that you stay signed in as you browse the Site.
• Language preference. We remember the interface language you select so that the Site loads in that language on your next visit.
• Cookie consent state. We record your choice on our cookie consent banner so that we do not show it to you repeatedly.
• Guest device identifier. For visitors who are not signed in, we store a randomly generated device identifier in a cookie and in browser local storage, so that transcription tasks and usage quotas can be attributed to the same browser.

We also store a small number of entries in your browser's local storage for essential functions, such as remembering the page you were on before signing in.

Analytics and measurement

Where enabled, we use third-party analytics and counter widgets (such as Baidu statistics, 51.la statistics and Flag Counter) to understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used — for example visit counts and visitors' countries. Blocking these technologies does not affect the core speech-to-text features of the Site.

Advertising

We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not set cross-site advertising or tracking cookies of our own.

3. HOW TO REFUSE OR DELETE COOKIES

• Cookie consent banner. You can accept the banner when it first appears. To change your choice later, clear this Site's cookies (or your browser's site data for stt.hwavoice.com) and the banner will appear again.
• Browser settings. Most browsers let you view, delete, block, or set rules for cookies in their settings pages:
  • Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
  • Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
  • Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac
  • Microsoft Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge

Please note that if you block strictly necessary cookies (such as the sign-in session cookie), parts of the Site — including signing in — may not work correctly.

4. DO NOT TRACK

Consistent with our Privacy Policy, we do not currently respond to web browser Do-Not-Track ("DNT") signals because no uniform technology standard for recognizing such signals has been finalized.

5. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this Cookie Notice. We encourage you to review this Cookie Notice periodically.

6. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US?

If you have questions or comments about this Cookie Notice, please email us at [email protected].
