What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They enable websites to recognize your device, save your preferences, and maintain secure sessions.

Local Storage (HTML5 Web Storage) is a browser technology that allows web applications to store data locally in your browser without transmitting it to our servers on every request. We use LocalStorage primarily to render real-time image edits locally in your browser.

Analytics & Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site by gathering aggregated, non-identifying traffic statistics:

Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat):

Collects anonymized data regarding page views, conversion rates, loading latency, and referral sources. This data is used solely to improve our user experience and server response times.
