1. Summary
Emoji-Combos.com has no user accounts and shows no ads. We collect usage statistics to improve the tools, keep short server logs for security, and store messages you send through the contact form. We do not sell personal data.
2. Usage statistics
What: pages opened, tool actions (copy, generate), referrer, approximate location, device and browser type, screen size, language.
How: the Google tag runs in your browser and sends usage events directly to Google Analytics 4. Advertising storage, advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled. Text you enter in the custom combo builder is not included in copy events.
Cookie mode (after "Allow"): Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to link visits and measure sessions, traffic sources and engagement.
Cookie-free mode (default, or after "Reject"): Google consent mode sends limited usage signals without reading or writing analytics cookies. Requests go directly to Google, which receives network information including your IP address; our server does not shorten it. Cookie-free data cannot provide the same visit history as consented statistics.
Retention: up to 14 months in Google Analytics.

The web server records IP address, request, time and user agent to detect attacks and errors. Logs rotate daily and are deleted after 7 days.
