Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Piclizer uses, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?
Cookies (and similar browser storage such as localStorage) are small text files that websites save in your browser. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, and are widely used to make websites work, to remember choices, and — only with consent — to measure usage and support advertising.
2. How we use cookies
Piclizer is deliberately light on cookies. Storage falls into four clearly separated groups:
Only the essential group is active by default. Analytics and advertising storage are created solely after you press “Accept” in the consent banner, and never before.
- Strictly necessary — your cookie-consent choice, selected language and light/dark theme. Without these the site cannot remember your basic preferences.
- Preferences — optional conveniences such as recently used settings inside a tool (kept in your browser only).
- Analytics — set by Google Analytics only after you consent, to measure aggregate usage anonymously (IP anonymised).
- Advertising — set by Google AdSense only after you consent, used to select and measure ads.
3. Third-party cookies
When advertising or analytics is consented to, the corresponding provider (currently Google) may set its own cookies from its domains. Google uses cookies such as the DART cookie to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can review Google's practices in Google's Privacy & Terms. We do not place any third-party marketing cookie ourselves and no such cookie is set if you decline.
4. Managing your consent
You can accept or reject non-essential storage in the banner shown on your first visit, and change your mind at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer. Rejecting removes consent for future analytics/advertising scripts immediately; already-set third-party cookies can be cleared in one step from the same panel.
5. Browser controls
Every modern browser lets you view, delete and block cookies from its settings (usually under Privacy & Security). Blocking strictly necessary storage may prevent the site from remembering your language or consent choice, but the tools themselves will keep working, since all file processing is independent of cookies.
6. Do Not Track
We honour consent choices made in our banner. Where a browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a rejection of analytics and advertising storage.
7. Changes and contact
If our cookie usage changes, this policy and the consent banner will be updated accordingly. Questions? Visit the contact page or email privacy@piclizer.app.
