Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?

Cookies are small data files stored in your web browser by sites you visit. They allow websites to remember details about your session or preferences.

Modern web applications also utilize Web Storage (consisting of localStorage and sessionStorage). Unlike cookies, Web Storage has a larger capacity and—critically for security—its contents are never automatically transmitted to servers via HTTP headers. This keeps local preference data secure and reduces network payload sizes.

2. Our No-Tracking Guarantee

At NO Exif, user privacy is our core philosophy. We ensure a tracking-free environment through the following constraints:

3. How We Use Local Storage

We use browser Local Storage (localStorage) exclusively to store your interface layout choices. This information is classified as Strictly Necessary under global cookie guidelines:

4. Regulatory Compliance (ePrivacy Directive & GDPR)

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (often called the "Cookie Law") and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), websites are required to obtain user consent before deploying non-essential cookies.

Because NO Exif only utilizes functional local storage parameters that are strictly required to fulfill your requested configurations (such as dark theme preference), our website is legally exempt from consent banner requirements. This design enables a cleaner user interface without intrusive cookie popups while maintaining complete legal compliance.

5. Anonymous Analytics

To understand how many visitors use our EXIF remover, we may utilize privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics scripts. These scripts aggregate visitor metrics (such as broad browser variants, general country locations, and aggregate click events) without deploying cookie storage, tracking IP locations, or associating individual users with file cleanups.

6. How to Manage or Clear Web Storage

Although functional preferences are harmless, you can inspect, modify, or delete Web Storage keys inside your browser settings at any time:

• Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies > See all site data and permissions. Search for noexif.com and click the delete icon.
• Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Click Manage Data, locate noexif.com, and click Remove Selected.
• Apple Safari: Navigate to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data, select noexif.com, and click Remove.
• Developer Console: Alternatively, press F12, navigate to the Application or Storage tab, choose Local Storage, and clear the data manually.

Please note: Clearing your local storage will reset the UI theme to match your system preference (light or dark) on your next visit.
