1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to website owners. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixel tags are also used.

When you first visit the Service, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals. If a universal standard for DNT is established, we will update this policy accordingly.

7. Tracking Pixels

As part of the Service, users may attach tracking pixels (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight) to their shortened URLs. These pixels are placed by our users and are not controlled by us. When you click a shortened URL that contains a pixel, the pixel provider may set cookies or collect information according to their own policies.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
