Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks a browser to store on a device. When the reader visits the site again, the browser can send that file back, so the site can recall a choice or a state from the last visit.

Cookies have many uses. Some keep a reader signed in, some recall a choice, and some serve ads. Some cookies are set by the site being visited, and some are set by a third-party service that the site uses.

This policy explains which cookies are used on [Snapseed QR Codes](/), why they are used, and how readers can control them.

This site sets no cookies of its own. It has no sign-in, no accounts, no comments, and no contact form, so it has no need for a cookie that recalls a reader, a choice, or a session.

This site runs no analytics and no advertising today, so it sets no analytics cookie and no advertising cookie. A reader can read every page and download every QR image here without this site storing a cookie on their device.

If this site starts to set its own cookies in future, this policy will be updated first, before any new cookie is set. The update will name each new cookie, state its purpose, and state how long it lasts.

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Workers, and Cloudflare acts as the host and content delivery network. Cloudflare may set security cookies when it protects the site from automated traffic and abuse.

Two cookies that Cloudflare may set are __cf_bm and _cfuvid. The __cf_bm cookie helps Cloudflare tell real visitors apart from automated traffic, and it is used for bot management. The _cfuvid cookie helps Cloudflare manage traffic and apply its security rules.

Those cookies are set by Cloudflare, not by this site. This site does not read them, does not use them to follow readers, and does not use them for advertising. Cloudflare gives more detail on its cookies in its own privacy policy at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

The only cookies that may appear on this site are Cloudflare security cookies, and they are used for one purpose: to keep the site safe and working. They help Cloudflare block automated traffic that tries to overload the site or abuse its pages.

No cookie on this site is used to build a profile of a reader, to follow a reader from page to page for advertising, or to record which photos a reader edits in the Snapseed app. The Snapseed app runs on the reader's own phone, and this site never sees those photos.

No consent banner is shown on this site today, because no tracking or advertising cookies exist here. The only cookies that may be set are Cloudflare security cookies, which are used to protect the site and keep it running.

If tracking or advertising cookies are added later, consent will be asked first, before any such cookie is set. This policy will be updated at the same time to name each new cookie and state its purpose.

Readers who want to block cookies can still do so in their browser, as explained in the next section. Questions about cookies can be sent through the Contact page.

Every modern browser lets readers control cookies. Readers can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, delete cookies that are already stored, or set the browser to delete cookies when it closes.

The exact steps differ by browser. In most browsers, the cookie controls sit under Settings, then Privacy or Privacy and Security. Readers can search their browser help pages for the word cookies to find the exact steps for their browser and version.

Blocking cookies will not stop this site from working, because this site sets no cookies of its own.

This policy may change if the site starts to set its own cookies, or if Cloudflare changes the cookies it uses. Any change will be posted on this page, with a new last updated date.

The current version of this policy is the version on this page.

This Cookie Policy deals with cookies only. The Privacy Policy on this site gives the full picture on data, retention, and reader rights.
