Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 11, 2026

What we use cookies for

PhotoShrinker uses minimal local storage to remember your theme preference (light or dark) and, if you consent, to support anonymous analytics that help us improve the tool. We do not use cookies to identify you personally.

Local storage

We store a small preference entry in your browser's local storage so the app remembers your theme and your cookie consent choice. This data never leaves your device.

Cookie categories and consent

When you first visit, a consent banner lets you Accept, Reject, or Manage Preferences for three categories: Essential (required for the site to function — theme, language and your consent choice; always on), Analytics (anonymous usage statistics) and Advertising (Google AdSense cookies). Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device.

Third-party advertising

This site is monetized with Google AdSense. If you consent to advertising cookies, third-party vendors, including Google, may use them to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. If you decline, we set Google's non-personalized ads signal so ads are still shown but are not based on your interests or visits. Vendors are governed by their own policies, and you can opt out of personalized advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings.

Managing cookies

You can change your consent choice at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of every page, and you can clear all stored data through your browser settings.
