Last Updated: October 19, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you load a webpage. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide analytical reporting information to website operators.
2. How ResizeKit Uses Cookies and Local Storage
ResizeKit prioritizes user privacy. We do not use cookies to track your personal identity or monitor your browsing activity outside our site.
A. Browser Local Storage (Client-Side Only)
Instead of intrusive tracking cookies, ResizeKit primarily uses modern HTML5 localStorage to store strictly functional, non-identifiable user preferences locally in your browser:
resizekit_theme: Saves your preferred color theme (Dark Mode or Light Mode) so you do not experience screen flashes between page visits.rk_last_preset: Remembers your last used social media preset (e.g. YouTube Thumbnail or Instagram Story).rk_export_format: Stores whether you prefer JPG, PNG, or WebP.resizekit_cookie_consent: Records your choice regarding cookie preferences.
Data stored in localStorage remains entirely inside your own browser sandbox. It is never transmitted to our servers.
B. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
To keep ResizeKit 100% free for all users worldwide without requiring paid subscriptions, we partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements:
- Google and its certified third-party advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies (such as DoubleClick cookies) enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads or contextual non-personalized ads depending on your consent settings and geographical jurisdiction.
3. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your preferences in several convenient ways:
A. In-App Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit ResizeKit, our consent banner allows you to select "Accept All" or "Essential Only". Choosing "Essential Only" disables non-essential advertising and analytics scripts.
B. Google Advertising Opt-Out
You can personalize or opt out of Google's customized interest-based advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.
C. Industry-Wide Opt-Out Portals
You can opt out of multiple third-party advertising cookies simultaneously through independent consumer choice portals:
- Digital Advertising Alliance (US): https://www.aboutads.info/choices/
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EU/EEA): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/
D. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to modify your settings to block cookies or notify you when a cookie is set. Note that if you choose to block all cookies in your browser settings, you may still use ResizeKit's image cropping features normally, though preferences like theme selection may reset upon refresh.
4. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect technological, operational, or regulatory modifications. Any changes will be posted immediately on this page with an updated revision date.
