Effective date: 9 October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how GIF Compressor (compressorgif.com) uses cookies and similar technologies on compressorgif.com. Our approach is simple: no advertising cookies, no tracking cookies, and no analytics.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, let a website save small pieces of data on your device. Some are strictly necessary for a site to work; others are used for analytics or advertising. We only use the first kind, if any.
The GIF compression tool sets no cookies
All GIF compression happens locally in your browser and your files are never uploaded. The tool does not set any cookies. It saves your preferred settings (such as preset, colors, target size and resize options) in your browser’s local storage under the key “gc-settings”. This data stays on your device, is never sent to us, and contains no personal information.
Cookies that may be set on this website
Visitors who simply browse the site and use the tools normally receive no cookies from us. The following strictly necessary cookies may be set only in the situations described:
- WordPress login cookies (for example wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_*, wordpress_test_cookie, wp-settings-*): set only for site administrators who log in to manage the website.
- WordPress comment cookies (comment_author_*): set only if comments are enabled and you choose to have your name and email remembered when you leave a comment. They expire after about one year.
- LiteSpeed Cache cookie (for example _lscache_vary): a technical cookie that may be set, typically for logged-in users or commenters, so the server delivers the correct cached version of a page. It contains no personal information.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the functions you request, they do not require consent under the ePrivacy rules. We do not use analytics, advertising, social media or other third-party tracking cookies.
Managing cookies and local storage
You can view, block or delete cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings, usually under “Privacy” or “Site data”. Clearing the site data for compressorgif.com removes any cookies and your saved tool settings. Blocking cookies will not affect the GIF tools; the only effect is that your settings will not be remembered between visits if you also block local storage.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary (for example analytics), we will update this policy first and, where required, ask for your consent before setting them.
