Cocoon A11y — Accessibility Widget & Chrome Extension
Last updated: June 5, 2026

The short version: Cocoon A11y collects zero data. No cookies. No analytics. No tracking. No personal information. Nothing leaves your browser. Ever.

What data does Cocoon A11y collect?

None.

Cocoon A11y does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal data, browsing data, usage data, or any other information about you or your browsing activity.

Cookies and tracking

Cocoon A11y does not use cookies, tracking pixels, fingerprinting, analytics scripts, or any other tracking technology. There are no third-party scripts, no external API calls, and no network requests of any kind.

Data storage

The Chrome extension uses chrome.storage.local to save your accessibility preferences (such as which features you've enabled) on your own device. This data:

The website widget version does not use localStorage by default. Preferences reset on page refresh unless the site owner explicitly enables persistence.

Third-party services

Cocoon A11y uses zero third-party services. The entire widget runs locally in your browser. No external servers are contacted. No CDNs are required (though a CDN option is available for convenience — it serves only the static JavaScript file with no tracking).

Text-to-speech

The Read Aloud feature uses the Web Speech API built into your browser. All speech synthesis happens locally on your device. No text is sent to any external service.

Permissions

The Chrome extension requests the following permissions:

These permissions are the minimum required for the extension to function. No other permissions are requested or needed.

Children's privacy

Cocoon A11y does not collect any data from any user, including children. The extension is safe for use by people of all ages.

Open source

Cocoon A11y is open source under the MIT License. You can inspect every line of code at github.com/ammarahamed/cocoon-a11y. We believe transparency is the best privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change this policy (which we don't anticipate — our commitment to zero data collection is fundamental), we will update this page with the new date and clearly describe what changed.
