Cookie policy
Exactly what this site stores in your browser, why, and how to say no.
This page lists every cookie and piece of browser storage ImgCruncher uses. It is short, because the site stores very little. One thing worth saying up front: your images are never part of any cookie, storage or analytics. They are processed in your browser and never sent anywhere, so there is nothing about them to store.
Cookies we set ourselves
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies in the banner, so we do not ask you on every visit. | 365 days if you accept, 30 days if you decline |
| Session cookie | A standard, anonymous PHP session identifier while the site delivers pages to you. | Deleted when you close your browser |
Third-party cookies
Two Google services can set their own cookies when they are active on the site:
- Google Analytics collects anonymous usage statistics, such as which pages are visited. IP addresses are anonymized. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Google AdSense displays the ads that fund the site and may use cookies to make them relevant. You can turn off ad personalization in Google's Ad Settings.
Declining in the cookie banner limits these to what is strictly necessary. Both services are covered in more detail in the privacy policy.
Browser storage that is not a cookie
Two features store data on your own device, for your own convenience. Neither is ever transmitted anywhere:
- Recently used tools (localStorage): the tools page shows your last few used tools. That list lives only in your browser, and the Clear button next to it deletes it.
- Offline cache (service worker): the site caches its own pages and scripts on your device so the tools keep working without internet. This contains site files only, never your images.
How to delete or block all of it
Every browser lets you clear cookies and site data for a single site: look for "site settings" or "cookies and site data" and search for imgcruncher.com. Deleting the data resets your consent choice, your recent-tools list and the offline cache in one go. Blocking cookies entirely also works; the tools themselves run fine without any cookies at all.
