The fine print
Privacy policy
NameForge is built to know as little about you as possible. There are no accounts and no sign-up forms. This page explains what does happen when you use the site, including how cookies and any third-party advertising work.
Name generation happens in your browser
Every generator on this site runs entirely on your own device. When you forge a batch of names, nothing is sent to a server: the names are computed in your browser and exist only on your screen. We never see, store, or log what you generate.
Favourites live in local storage
When you star a name, it is saved to your browser's local storage on your own device so it is still there next time you visit. That data never leaves your machine. Clearing your browser data for this site removes it permanently.
Cookies, analytics, and third-party ads
As things stand today: no advertising runs on this site, and no advertising or analytics script is loaded. NameForge does not need cookies to run its generators, and none are set. This paragraph is here rather than in the future tense because a policy that describes advertising a site does not carry tells you nothing about the site you are actually on.
If that ever changes, ads would be served by third-party partners such as Google, and those partners may set cookies or use similar technology to serve ads and measure how well they perform. Visitors in the EEA or UK would be asked to give or decline consent before any non-essential cookie is set, in line with GDPR and UK data protection rules, with the choice changeable at any time. The consent banner and the ad slots already exist in the code and render nothing at all until they are switched on, so this section will change in the same release the ads do. See the disclosure page for the current state.
The commercial generators show links out to domain registrars and platform search pages. Those are ordinary links: nothing is looked up and no generated name is sent anywhere until you click one, and following a link takes you to that third party's site under their own privacy policy.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel's infrastructure may process standard technical request data (such as IP addresses) to serve pages and protect against abuse. See the Vercel privacy policy for details.
External links
Some pages link to other websites. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy practices apply.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you would like to ask something, the contact page is the way to reach us. This policy was last updated in July 2026; if the site starts collecting anything new, such as turning on advertising or analytics, this page will be updated first.
