What this site remembers.
A practical description of cookies, browser storage and your choices in the current PixKnow release candidate.
Your theme preference
When you choose dark, light or system mode, PixKnow saves that preference in this browser’s local storage. It is not a photo or an advertising identifier. The preference can persist between visits; PixKnow does not set an automatic expiry for it. Language is selected by the page address.
Photos are a separate kind of data
The photo tools keep the file and the working copy in browser memory during processing. They do not save your photo in local storage or upload it to PixKnow. Resetting the workspace ends the current task. Downloaded copies remain wherever you choose to save them.
Advertising and measurement are inactive
Google Analytics is off until you allow it in Privacy settings. With permission, Google receives content page visits, a page address without query or fragment, a reduced referring-site domain, and technical connection/device information. Google may set _ga and _ga_* first-party cookies (configured for at most 180 days). We disable Google Signals and advertising personalization; photo tools never load the Google tag. Advertising and session replay are off; AdSense ownership metadata and ads.txt do not load advertising code. Cloudflare RUM is disabled.
Delivery and security
Cloudflare delivers and protects this website. Depending on its security features and the request, it may use security cookies or process connection information. That is separate from PixKnow’s theme setting. We do not describe the entire connection as cookie-free.
Clear or restrict storage
Use Privacy settings in the footer to withdraw analytics permission at any time. Withdrawal stops measurement, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page. It does not erase data Google already received; contact Codeat3am about data requests. Clear pixknow.com website data to remove theme and consent preferences. This does not delete downloaded photos.
Before optional services are enabled
We save your allow or reject choice in local storage under pixknow:consent:v1 for 180 days, then ask again. Theme preference has no automatic expiry. If storage is blocked, the choice may only last for the open page. Advertising remains inactive and would require a separate update to these choices before activation.
