Cookie policy
Last updated: 1 January 2026. Pixora sets exactly one cookie, and only after you answer the consent banner. Our analytics uses none at all.
Your images are never involved
No cookie on this site — ours or Google’s — has any access to the files you open. Images are processed inside your browser and never transmitted, so there is nothing for a cookie to be attached to.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to store and send back on later visits. It is the standard way a site remembers something about you between page loads. Most sites use dozens. We use one.
Cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| pixora_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected advertising cookies, so we do not ask again on every page. | 180 days | Essential |
| pxa_session | Signs the site operator into the private admin dashboard. Only ever set for us, never for a visitor. | 8 hours | Essential |
That is the complete list. Both are strictly necessary — one records your own privacy choice, the other is the admin login — so neither requires consent under the ePrivacy Directive.
Analytics — no cookies at all
We count page views so we know which tools are worth improving. This is the part most sites use Google Analytics for, and it is where most of their cookies come from.
We built ours differently. Pixora’s own analytics sets no cookie and uses no browser storage. To count unique visitors without identifying anyone, we compute a hash of your IP address, your browser’s user-agent, a secret key, and today’s date. We store only that hash — never your IP.
Because the date is inside the hash, the same person visiting on two different days produces two unrelated values. The database is structurally incapable of following you from one day to the next, let alone across other websites. That is not a promise we are asking you to trust; it is a property of the design. It is also why this needs no consent.
If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not record the page view at all.
Advertising cookies (Google)
Advertising is what keeps every tool here free, unlimited and unwatermarked. Ads are supplied by Google AdSense, which is a third party and may set its own cookies.
If you accept, Google may use cookies to show you personalised ads and to measure them. If you reject, you still see ads — but non-personalised ones, which earn less. Either way the site works identically and your images are untouched.
We signal your choice to Google using Consent Mode, and we default to denied before you answer — so nothing personalised happens while the banner is still on screen.
You can review and control Google’s advertising cookies at myadcenter.google.com, and read how Google uses data from partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Changing your mind
To withdraw or change your consent
Clear this site’s cookies in your browser and reload the page — the banner will come back and you can answer differently. In Chrome: click the icon to the left of the address bar → Cookies and site data → Manage on-device site data → delete. Most browsers have an equivalent.
You can also block cookies entirely in your browser settings. The tools will keep working — they never needed a cookie in the first place.
Other browser storage
Your light/dark theme preference is kept in your browser’s local storage, not a cookie. It never leaves your device and is never sent to us. The site also registers a service worker to cache itself for offline use, which stores the interface and the image codecs — but never your images.
