We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us provide and improve our services. We categorize the cookies we use as follows:
| Category | Purpose | Can Disable? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Theme preference (dark/light mode), cookie consent status — required for the site to function | No |

For more details about specific cookies and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy.
4. Google AdSense and DoubleClick
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Specifically, Google AdSense may use the following:
- DoubleClick Cookie: Google's DoubleClick ad serving cookie is used to serve targeted advertisements and track ad performance. The DoubleClick cookie enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. You can learn more about the DoubleClick cookie at Google's Advertising Policies.
- Google Analytics Advertising Reporting Features: When enabled, Google Analytics collects data that is used to create interest-based advertising audiences. This includes Demographics and Interest reports, and remarketing audiences for Google Ads. You can opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising at Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Remarketing: We may use Google AdSense remarketing to advertise our website to visitors who have previously visited. Remarketing ads are served through Google's Display Network and use cookies to track visits.
5. Third-Party Advertising Partners
We work with third-party advertising companies to display ads on our website. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to our site and other websites in order to provide targeted advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Our advertising partners include, but are not limited to:
- Google AdSense / Google Ireland Limited
- Google DoubleClick (part of Google Marketing Platform)
These third-party ad servers have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
6. Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising
You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising. You can exercise this right through the following methods:
- Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com — Opt out of personalized ads from Google
- Google Analytics Opt-out: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout — Browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ — Opt out of behavioral advertising from NAI member companies

- Browser Settings: You can also manage cookies through your browser's privacy settings. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies or delete all cookies when you close the browser.
Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads — it means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.
7. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
We have enabled the following Google Analytics features:
- IP Anonymization: We have implemented IP anonymization, which truncates your IP address before it is sent to Google.
- Data Retention: User and event data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted.
- Data Sharing: We do not share Google Analytics data with any other Google services for marketing purposes.

9. Data Security
Since all image processing is client-side, there is no risk of your images being intercepted or leaked from our servers. We use HTTPS encryption for all data transmission between your browser and our website. We also take reasonable measures to protect any analytics and advertising data collected through third-party services.
10. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
11. International Data Transfers
Our website is hosted on Cloudflare's global network, and our analytics and advertising services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) are operated by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC, with data processed on servers in the United States. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of information to the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for data transfers from the EEA to the United States.
