Privacy policy

Last updated: 5 October 2026

Glottosphere has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email address or any other personal details. Dictionary lookups run in your browser against files downloaded from this site.

What is stored in your browser

• Your cookie choice. The choice you make in the cookie banner is saved in two cookies, glp_cookie_consent and fides_consent, for up to one year, with a copy in local storage, so the banner does not reappear on every visit.
• Recent lookups. If you allow it, your recent lookups are kept in your browser's local storage so you can return to them. They never leave your device, and they are not saved if you decline.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, the site treats it as a refusal of optional storage. You can clear everything above at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Hosting

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data needed to deliver pages and protect the service, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
