Cookie Policy

1 What Cookies Does PortImg Set?

PortImg itself does not set first-party cookies for tracking, profiling, or remembering preferences. We do not use persistent login cookies, personalisation cookies, or advertising cookies. The following third-party cookies may be set when you visit portimg.com:

• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*, _gid): These cookies are set by Google Analytics to distinguish unique users and sessions. They collect anonymised data: page views, session duration, traffic source, country, device type, and browser. IP anonymisation is enabled — your full IP address is never stored by Google Analytics. Data is retained for a maximum of 14 months.
• Google Search Console (verification tag): A meta tag (not a cookie) is used to verify ownership of portimg.com with Google Search Console. No user-tracking cookies are set by this service.
• Bing Webmaster Tools (verification tag): A meta tag is used to verify ownership of portimg.com with Bing Webmaster Tools. No user-tracking cookies are set by this service.

2 Cookies We Do NOT Use

To be completely transparent, PortImg currently does not use:

• Advertising or targeting cookies (e.g., Google DoubleClick, DoubleClick ID).
• Social media tracking pixels (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Twitter/X Pixel).
• Cross-site tracking or fingerprinting technologies.
• Retargeting or remarketing cookies.
• Cookies to build user profiles or track browsing behaviour across other websites.

3 Analytics Cookies in Detail

Google Analytics 4 sets the following cookies on portimg.com:

• _ga: Duration: 2 years. Distinguishes unique users. Contains a randomly generated identifier — no personal information.
• _ga_[ID]: Duration: 2 years. Persists session state for the specific GA4 property.
• _gid: Duration: 24 hours. Distinguishes users within a single day.

All GA4 cookies contain randomly generated identifiers only — they do not contain your name, email, IP address, or any personally identifiable information. We have configured GA4 with IP anonymisation enabled and data retention set to the minimum available period.

4 Your Consent

Under applicable law (GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, UK PECR), analytics cookies that are not strictly necessary require your consent before being placed. We are committed to handling consent properly:

• For users in the EEA and UK, a cookie consent banner is displayed on first visit, giving you the option to accept or decline analytics cookies.
• If you decline, Google Analytics cookies will not be set and no usage data will be collected.
• You can change your consent preference at any time via your browser settings or the opt-out method described below.
• Strictly necessary cookies (if any, e.g., security tokens) do not require consent.

5 The Android App and Cookies

The PortImg Android app does not use cookies in any form. The app operates without a browser cookie store, and no tracking SDKs are bundled in the app at this time. File processing in the app is performed locally where possible.

6 Third-Party Cookie Policies

Cookies set by third-party services are governed by those providers' own policies. We encourage you to review them:

• Google (Analytics, Search Console): Google Privacy & Terms
• Microsoft (Bing Webmaster Tools): Microsoft Privacy Statement

7 Changes to This Cookie Policy

We will update this Cookie Policy whenever our cookie usage changes — for example, if we introduce advertising. When significant changes occur, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where required by law, re-request consent from users. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
