1. Introduction
airobotstxt.com ("we", "our", or "the Service") provides free webmaster and developer tools designed to simplify the creation and validation of robots.txt files for modern search engines and AI crawlers (e.g., GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ByteSpider).
We respect your privacy and are committed to full transparency regarding data collection, cookies, and third-party advertising partners in accordance with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and Google AdSense publisher policies.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Because our core tools operate strictly client-side in your browser:
- We do not record or save your robots.txt input or directives.
- We do not collect personal names, user accounts, physical addresses, or financial data.
- We do not track specific URLs or internal file paths you enter into the generator.
3. Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) (Property ID: G-2RBNBDSVJ8) to analyze aggregate site usage, traffic trends, and browser compatibility. GA4 collects anonymized metrics such as browser type, device type, approximate geographic region (country/city), referring URLs, and page dwell time.
IP anonymization is activated by default. This aggregate data is used solely to optimize website performance and responsiveness.
4. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies
We partner with Google AdSense (Publisher ID: ca-pub-1645760984746451) to serve advertisements that support the free maintenance of this utility.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other sites on the Internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies (such as DoubleClick cookies) enables it and its partners to serve personalized and non-personalized ads to you based on your visits to our site and other websites.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you may opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice page.
6. GDPR & CCPA/CPRA Compliance
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or California, you are entitled to certain privacy rights:
- The right to know what personal data is processed.
- The right to request data deletion or correction.
- The right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal data.
