Last Updated: August 22, 2026
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, AVIF, JPEG XL and image tools. 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 by websites like WebPict. They help remember preferences, improve functionality and keep the site secure. We use them sparingly and process all image conversions entirely in your browser — no server-side storage of your images.
- First-Party Cookies: Set by WebPict for essential site operations.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by trusted partners (mainly Google) for analytics and advertising.
- Session vs Persistent: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last longer (e.g. 30 days).
