Cookie policy
Last updated:
LocateImages sets no cookies of its own, and no advertising or third-party cookies. The little it keeps in your browser is there for the website to work (remembering your language and your choice in the banner) and to measure how it is used without identifying you. The only thing that depends on your choice is a random visitor id, which does not exist unless you press Accept.
Your choice
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics, that is, the visitor id. Accept and Reject are equally easy, and rejecting changes nothing of what you can do. You can change your mind at any time with the Cookies link at the foot of every page, which opens the banner again. Choosing Reject also deletes the id if it already existed.
You can also delete everything from your browser's settings (the site data of locateimages.com).
Cookies
The pages of LocateImages create no cookies. Cloudflare, which delivers and protects the website, may set a strictly necessary security cookie (such as __cf_bm) to tell people from automated traffic.
Browser storage
The website keeps a few things in your browser's local storage (which lasts until you clear it) and session storage (which disappears when you close the tab). None of it is sent anywhere except as described here.
| Name | Where | What it is for | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
loc_consent | Local | Remembers your choice in the banner | Strictly necessary |
loc_lang | Local | Remembers your language, so you are not redirected again | Functional |
loc_vid | Local | A random visitor id for measuring, only if you accept | Analytics, with consent |
loc_sid | Session | A random number that orders the steps of a visit; deleted when the tab is closed | Measuring without identifiers |
loc_n, loc_gate | Session | The events sent in this visit and the language redirect done once | Strictly necessary |
Your photo is never stored in your browser or anywhere else: the tool reads it to show it to you and send it to the analysis, and forgets it when you close the page or choose another.
What I measure
The website sends me short events of my own (a page was opened, a photo was chosen, a result was copied) without your name, e-mail address, IP or photos. With the visitor id, I can also tell that two visits come from the same browser. The privacy policy explains it in detail.
