Cookie Policy

What cookies and browser storage Color Analysis uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

Last updated:

The short version: your photos are never stored in cookies or sent to us. We don't set our own tracking cookies. Third-party cookies are used only for analytics or ads, and neither is switched on right now.

1Introduction

Color Analysis ("we," "us" or "our") uses a small amount of browser storage, and may use third-party cookies, to run this website, remember what you choose to save, understand overall traffic and keep the tool free.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.

2What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit. They can remember information about your visit and preferences. There are two main types:

  • Session cookies: temporary, deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: stay for a set time or until you delete them.

Cookies can be set by the site you visit (first-party) or by services that site uses (third-party). Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, also let a site remember information on your device.

3How We Use Cookies

Here is every category, and whether it is currently in use on this site:

Essential

Active

Needed for the site to load and stay secure. We don’t set any essential cookies of our own; your browser and our hosting provider may use standard technical data (such as your IP address) to deliver pages safely over HTTPS.

Preferences (browser storage)

Active

Remembers things you choose to save, like favorite results and custom palette colors. This uses your browser’s local storage, not cookies, and never leaves your device.

Analytics

Not in use

Helps us understand overall traffic, like which pages are popular and roughly how many people visit. It is aggregated, never linked to your photo, and only runs if analytics is switched on.

Advertising

Not in use

Lets Google AdSense show ads and measure their performance, which keeps the tool free. Ads may be personalized based on your visits to this and other sites, unless you opt out.

4Third-Party Cookies

When they are switched on, these third parties may set their own cookies:

  • Google Analytics (not in use): aggregate traffic statistics.
  • Google AdSense (not in use): shows ads and measures them. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. See how Google uses data.

These companies have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to read. We don't control the cookies they set.

5Your Rights and Choices

🌐 Browser settings

You can block or delete cookies and site data at any time. Guides: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.

🚫 Do Not Track

There is no common standard for "Do Not Track" signals, so we don't respond to them. Use the options above instead.

Note: blocking cookies won't stop the color analysis from working. Clearing site data will remove your saved favorites and custom colors.

6Data Retention

  • Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
  • Local storage (favorites, custom colors): kept until you remove them or clear your browser's site data.
  • Analytics cookies: up to 2 years; reports are aggregated.
  • Advertising cookies: up to 13 months in the EU/UK and up to 24 months elsewhere, depending on the cookie.
  • Your photos: never stored. They are gone as soon as you close or reload the page.

7Privacy and Security

  • We never upload or store the photos you analyze
  • All image processing happens in your own browser
  • The site is served over a secure HTTPS connection
  • We don't sell your personal information
