Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and similar technologies used on iloveimg.online. Applicable frameworks: EU GDPR; EU ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC as transposed into Italian law (D.Lgs. 196/2003 as amended; Italian Garante DPA cookie guidelines, June 2021); UK GDPR / PECR; CCPA / CPRA.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. Similar technologies (local storage, pixel tags) serve similar purposes and are governed by this Policy.

2. Cookie categories used

Strictly necessary cookies

Required for the Site to function. No consent required.

• Laravel session cookies for navigation and CSRF protection.
• Conversion-job tokens linking your upload to your download.
• Consent-management cookies storing your consent state.
• Caching / load-balancing cookies set by hosting / Cloudflare infrastructure.

Advertising cookies (consent required for personalised)

Used by Google AdSense (active) for ad selection, frequency capping, fraud prevention, revenue measurement.

Common AdSense cookie patterns:

• __gads, __gpi — AdSense ad-selection identifiers.
• IDE (DoubleClick) — ad selection and conversion tracking.
• NID (Google) — preferences and ad selection.

Analytics cookies (consent required where deployed)

Where Google Analytics or equivalent is deployed, configured for IP anonymization. Cookies typically: _ga, _gid, _gat.

3. What we DO NOT use cookies for

• Image content tracking. Cookies do not contain or reference your uploaded image content.
• Cross-site tracking beyond what AdSense's framework includes for ad-frequency capping.
• Behavioural profiling outside AdSense's standard mechanisms.

4. Consent management

The Site uses Google Funding Choices CMP (or equivalent). On first visit (or after consent expires) the CMP displays a consent interface that:

• Lists cookie categories.
• Describes purposes.
• Allows accept-all, reject-all, and per-category configuration.
• Stores resulting consent state.
• Allows revisiting and changing consent at any time.

Until consent is given, advertising cookies that require consent are not deployed. Non-consent users still see ads (non-personalised).

Global Privacy Control

The Site honours the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where transmitted by the browser.

5. Italian Garante DPA cookie guidelines

For Italian users, Italian Data Protection Authority's cookie guidelines (Linee guida cookie e altri strumenti di tracciamento, June 2021) apply:

• Consent for non-essential cookies must be active, granular, and revocable.
• "Cookie wall" designs not used.
• Continued browsing not treated as consent.
• Refused consent recorded and remembered for at least 6 months before re-prompting.

6. Browser cookie controls

You can manage cookies in your browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy.
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Disabling all cookies prevents the Site from functioning correctly (conversion tokens won't work).
