How ResizeCraft uses cookies and similar technologies
2026/09/11
This Cookie Policy explains how ResizeCraft uses cookies and similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, and software development kits. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser. Similar technologies can store or read identifiers and settings on your device. Some are necessary to provide a feature you request; others help measure how the website is used.
These technologies support requested functionality and security. Disabling them may prevent accounts or preferences from working.
| Technology | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Session and session-cache cookies (names may include better-auth.session_token or better-auth.session_data, with secure prefixes in production) | ResizeCraft / Better Auth | Sign-in, session continuity, and account security | Session cookie or up to 7 days; cached session data up to 1 hour |
| Authentication flow and verification cookies | ResizeCraft / Better Auth | Complete sign-in, account linking, verification, and fraud prevention | Usually session-based or short-lived |
NEXT_LOCALE | ResizeCraft | Remember your language choice | Set by the internationalization service; until expiry or deletion |
sidebar_state | ResizeCraft | Remember whether the account sidebar is open | Up to 7 days |
| Security cookies | ResizeCraft, hosting provider, or Cloudflare Turnstile when enabled | Protect forms, traffic, and accounts against abuse | Session-based or according to the security provider |
Exact names can vary due to browser security prefixes, deployment settings, or provider updates.
In production, ResizeCraft currently supports Google Analytics when its configuration is present. Google Analytics may set cookies such as:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguish website visitors for aggregated measurement | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Maintain and count session and campaign information | Up to 2 years |
Analytics may receive page URLs, referrers, interactions, approximate location, IP-derived information, browser or device details, and timestamps. Google controls its own cookies and may change their names or duration.
The codebase can also support other analytics providers if configured, including Umami, Plausible, Ahrefs, DataFast, OpenPanel, Seline, PostHog, Microsoft Clarity, Vercel Analytics, and Speed Insights. They are not active unless the related production configuration is enabled. If activated, this policy and the available consent controls should be updated before deployment.
Google or GitHub sign-in and the active payment provider, such as Stripe, may set cookies on their own domains when you choose to visit or use their hosted flows. Their policies control those cookies. Embedded or linked third-party content may do the same.
The core image-resizing tool uses temporary browser object URLs and memory to preview and download images. These are not tracking cookies, are not used to identify you, and normally disappear when the page is closed or reloaded. The core workflow does not upload images to our servers.
Where consent is required, non-essential technologies should be used only after you choose to allow them. You can also block or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent sign-in and saved preferences from functioning.
You can manage Google advertising and analytics settings through your Google account and may use browser-based opt-out tools made available by Google. Browser privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control, may also communicate an opt-out preference where legally applicable.
Deleting cookies does not necessarily delete personal information already held in our systems. See the Privacy Policy to exercise data rights.
Browsers may send a Do Not Track signal, but there is no uniform industry response. We respond to legally recognized signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where applicable. We do not currently sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We may update this policy when technologies, providers, or legal requirements change. The date above shows the latest revision.
