Cookie Policy
Last Updated: November 21, 2025
At WebPict, we believe in transparency and user control. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://webpict.com to enhance your experience with our free WebP converter, PDF tools, and other services. Cookies help us make the site faster, more secure, and tailored to your needs, while respecting your privacy. We do not use cookies for invasive tracking or selling data—everything aligns with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (e.g., computer, tablet, or phone) by websites like WebPict. They remember preferences, track interactions, and improve functionality. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, and beacons. We use them sparingly to ensure a smooth, privacy-first experience with our image optimization tools.
- First-Party Cookies: Set by WebPict for essential site operations.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by trusted partners (e.g., Google) for analytics or ads, but only with your implied consent via site usage.
- Session vs. Persistent: Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent ones last longer (e.g., 30 days) for preference recall.

Your Cookie Choices and Controls
You have full control over cookies. While essential ones can't be disabled (as they power core features like file uploads), you can manage others via browser settings or specific opt-outs. Disabling non-essential cookies may affect site personalization but won't break basic functionality.
- Browser Management: Use your browser's privacy settings (e.g., Safari: Preferences > Privacy; Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security) to block, delete, or accept cookies.
- Opt-Out Tools:
- Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Ads: Google Ads Settings
- GDPR/CCPA Compliance: EU/UK users can withdraw consent anytime; California residents can request data deletion. We honor "Do Not Track" signals where possible.
- Incognito Mode: Using private browsing prevents persistent cookies from being stored.
Updates to This Policy
As WebPict evolves, so may our cookie practices. We’ll update this policy and notify users via site banners or email (if subscribed). Changes take effect immediately upon posting, with the "Last Updated" date reflecting the latest version. Review periodically for the most current info.
