Last updated: 2026-02-14

Summary

  • We do not run third-party advertising trackers.
  • We do not transmit your browsing content to cloud services.
  • We store extension settings locally using chrome.storage.local.

Data We Store

Cocoon stores only user-configured settings such as:

  • profile preset selection
  • sensory and feed-cleaner toggle state
  • grounding tool toggle state
  • per-site feed-cleaner overrides
  • adaptive suggestion rules (if enabled)

This data remains local to your browser profile.

Data We Do Not Collect

  • No account registration data
  • No remote analytics events
  • No cloud storage of browsing content
  • No sale of personal information

Permissions Usage

Cocoon requests:

  • storage: to save your extension settings
  • activeTab: to read the active tab hostname when you open the popup (for current-site controls)
  • alarms: to auto-expire timed scenario quick-switches and restore baseline settings (no browsing content is sent anywhere)
  • host permissions for supported social domains only, so content scripts can apply selected controls on those sites

Security and Retention

  • Settings persist until you remove the extension or clear extension storage.
  • You can reset settings from the options page.
