Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ShrinkStack ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Local Storage is a similar technology that allows a website to store small amounts of data in your browser without sending it back to the server with every request. We use Local Storage for essential site functionality.

How We Use Local Storage

ShrinkStack uses Local Storage for essential preferences to improve your experience. We do not use it to track you. We store:

  • Theme Preference: To remember your choice of light, dark, or system theme on subsequent visits.
  • Privacy Notice Dismissal: A simple flag to know that you have acknowledged our privacy notice so we don't show it to you on every visit.

As a reminder, all image processing is done in your browser. Your images are not stored by us in cookies, local storage, or on any server.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not set any non-essential or tracking cookies ourselves. However, we use some third-party services that may set cookies on your device to function correctly. These are:

  • Google Analytics: To help us understand how visitors use our site. This anonymous data helps us improve the application. You can learn more about Google's practices at their privacy policy.
  • Firebase (by Google): Our application hosting and feedback system is provided by Firebase. It may use cookies for its own operational and security purposes.

How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser. Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies via these links:
