Cookie Policy

PhotoCloud.art ("PhotoCloud", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and platform. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

Non-essential cookies are only set after you give your explicit consent. You can review and change your choices at any time using the button below.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site operators. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the platform to operate. They cannot be disabled and do not require your consent.

• accessToken and refreshToken: short-lived, httpOnly authentication cookies that keep you signed in
• CSRF token: protects forms and API requests against cross-site request forgery
• preferred-locale: remembers your selected language
• sidebar:state: stores whether the sidebar is open or collapsed
• pc_consent: stores your cookie consent choice so we don't ask again

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand which features are used and where we can improve. Google Analytics loads for every visitor: before you accept the Analytics category it runs in a cookieless mode that stores no cookies and sends Google only anonymized measurement signals (including your IP address, used solely for aggregate reporting and never to identify you). Cookie-based analytics and Microsoft Clarity are enabled only after you accept. Data is aggregated and anonymized.

• Google Analytics (G-E1E00HSHJ0): tracks page views, session duration, and user flows
• Microsoft Clarity (wap1qsqhfw): records anonymized session replays and heatmaps to identify usability issues

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party services that we use to operate and improve PhotoCloud. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We currently use services from Google (Analytics) and Microsoft (Clarity). We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not allow third-party advertising networks to place cookies on our platform.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can change your cookie choices at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer or the "Open cookie preferences" button at the top of this page. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the site relies on them.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. If you revoke analytics consent, cookie-based analytics stop immediately without a page reload and no analytics cookies are stored; Google Analytics may still send anonymized, cookieless signals used only for aggregate reporting.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. We will post the updated policy on our website and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
