Cookie Policy
A plain-English guide to the cookies on this site — no fine print, no tricks.
What cookies are
Cookies are tiny text files that websites place on your device to remember things. They can store preferences, support site functionality, and help us understand how people use the site. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser; others stick around longer. Here's what we use and why.
Cookies we use
We keep our cookie usage to a minimum. Here is every category of cookie you may encounter on ResizeImg:
- Essential & functional cookies — These make the site work properly. For example, we use a cookie to remember your dark-mode preference so you don't have to toggle it every visit, and another to store your cookie consent choice. Without these, the site can't remember basic settings you've made.
- Analytics cookies — We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages people visit and how they navigate the site. The relevant cookies are
_gaand_ga_*(the wildcard suffix varies). These cookies do not identify you personally — they help us see aggregate trends like "the image resizer gets more traffic than the PDF merger." That information helps us improve the tools that matter most. - Advertising cookies — We display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies — including the well-known DoubleClick (DART) cookie — to serve ads based on your browsing habits across the web. These cookies enable ad personalization. They are only set when you have given consent through our cookie banner, and you can opt out at any time (see the links below).
How to manage cookies
You have full control over cookies. Here are your options:
- Browser settings. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help or settings menu for cookie controls. Note that blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.
- Google Ads Settings — Turn off ad personalization across Google services, including AdSense.
- Digital Advertising Alliance (US) — Opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies in the United States.
- Your Online Choices (EU) — Manage advertising cookies across participating companies in Europe.
Consent
When you first visit ResizeImg, our cookie consent banner lets you Accept or Reject non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active because the site needs them to function. Your consent choice is stored in a cookie itself so the banner doesn't reappear on every page load.
You can change your mind at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in our site footer. When you update your choice, the change takes effect immediately — any advertising cookies will be cleared if you revoke consent.
