Cookies & Tracking Policy
How we use cookies and local storage to improve Free Image Tools, serve ads, and protect your privacy.
Welcome to Free Image Tools. This Cookies Policy explains how we use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep our image editing platform fast, user‑friendly, and free forever.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. On Free Image Tools, we use them primarily to understand how visitors interact with our tools (e.g., which filters are most popular) and to deliver non‑intrusive, relevant advertisements that support our free service.
2. How We Use Tracking Technologies
- Core Functionality: To remember your last‑used tool settings (e.g., preferred image format, watermark text) across sessions.
- Analytics: We use cookies to analyze which image tools (crop, resize, filters, etc.) are used most often, allowing us to optimize performance and user experience.
- Advertising: To keep all image tools completely free, we display advertisements. Cookies help make these ads relevant and prevent ad fraud.
3. Inventory of Cookies
| Cookie Type | Provider | Primary Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics (_ga, _gid) | Google Analytics | Monitoring traffic volume and user geographic distribution. | 2 Years (_ga), 24 Hours (_gid) |
| AdSense (__gads) | Measuring ad performance and preventing ad fraud. | 13 Months | |
| Platform (Blogger) | Maintaining security and stability of the site hosting. | Session | |
| Local Storage – Tool Preferences | Free Image Tools | Saving your last‑selected options (e.g., filter strength, output format) – client‑side only. | Persistent (remains until cleared) |
Technical Privacy: Browser‑Side Image Processing (Canvas & WebAssembly)
A cornerstone of Free Image Tools is that all image manipulation – cropping, resizing, filtering, watermarking, rotating, and converting – occurs entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API and, where needed, WebAssembly modules. Cookies and local storage are never used to store, transmit, or process your actual images. Your photos never leave your device, guaranteeing unmatched privacy for your sensitive or personal images.
4. Third‑Party Advertising Disclosure
We partner with Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings (adssettings.google.com).
We also use Google Analytics to understand anonymous usage patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected through these analytics.
5. Managing Your Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential functional cookies may affect certain preferences (e.g., saving your tool choices). However, all image editing tools will continue to work perfectly, as they rely only on local in‑memory processing. To learn more about managing cookies, consult your browser's "Help" or "Privacy" section.
6. Data Security & Your Rights
Because we never upload your images to any server, the risk of data breach is zero. Cookies and local storage contain only non‑personal, aggregated information or UI preferences. As a global service, we respect your privacy rights under applicable laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.). You have the right to clear your cookies and local storage at any time via your browser settings.
