Cookie Policy
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on ImageConverterTool, why they are used, and how you can accept or decline non-essential cookies.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website can store in your browser, and "similar technologies" include things like local storage and pixel tags that work in comparable ways. They let a site remember a preference, measure how pages perform, or support advertising. A cookie cannot read files on your device or run programs; it simply holds small pieces of data the site or a third party can read back later.
The browser-based tools on this site do their image work on your own device, so using a tool such as compressing or converting an image does not require cookies. Cookies on this site relate to the website itself — remembering your consent choice, understanding aggregate usage, and supporting ads — not to the image files you process.
The categories we use
We group cookies and similar technologies into three practical categories so you can see exactly what each one is for.
- Essential or operational — used for site delivery, security, your consent choice, and optional per-tool preferences saved in local or session storage.
- Analytics — Google Analytics helps measure page and tool usage. Analytics storage starts denied, but the Google tag may load and send consent-state or cookieless measurement requests while storage remains denied. Allowing analytics enables analytics storage. Ahrefs Web Analytics is limited to the homepage and loads only after you allow analytics.
- Advertising — Google AdSense may use cookies or similar technologies to show and measure ads and, where permitted, personalize them. Before ads are shown in regions that require a certified consent platform, advertising choices must be collected through an applicable Google-certified privacy message rather than this site’s analytics preference control.
Your consent and how to change it
When you first visit, the site preference banner lets you allow or decline analytics. Analytics storage starts in a denied state and is enabled only after you allow it. Advertising storage and personalization remain denied unless an applicable certified advertising-consent flow records a valid choice.
Your analytics choice is remembered in your browser. You can reopen the preference control from the footer. When an applicable Google privacy message is active, advertising and ad-personalization choices can also be managed through that message, Google account controls, and browser settings.
Third-party cookies
Analytics technologies are provided by Google and Ahrefs, and advertising technologies are provided by Google. These services may receive standard request information, consent-state signals, and browser details in line with their documented processing. Other requested resources, such as fonts, processing libraries, or models from hosts including jsDelivr, esm.sh, and Hugging Face infrastructure, can also expose normal connection information to their host. Background Remover uses Hugging Face-hosted model and configuration files for onnx-community/BEN2-ONNX; the browser may reuse cached copies or request them again. You can review and manage Google ad personalization through Google’s "My Ad Center" and your browser’s cookie controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to allow analytics to use the tools?
No. The image tools work whether you allow or decline analytics.
What happens if I click Decline?
Analytics storage remains denied, while essential items such as your preference and saved tool settings can remain on your device.
How do I change my choice later?
Use the Cookie settings link in the footer for analytics preferences, and use the applicable Google privacy message or account controls for advertising choices.
Are my images tracked by cookies?
No. Image processing happens locally on your device and is not associated with cookies. Cookies here relate to the website, analytics, and ads only.
