Cookies & tracking

We keep this simple. PhotoEditRocket sets no advertising cookies and uses no third-party analytics — there is no Google Analytics, no Google Ads or DoubleClick tags, and no cross-site tracking. Because we rely only on strictly necessary, first-party storage, there is no cookie consent banner to manage.

Strictly necessary — first-party

Aggregate visit count

We keep a simple page-view tally on our own server. It records only which page was viewed — no cookies, no IP address, no timestamp per visit, and no cross-site identifiers, so it cannot identify you and nothing about your visit is sent to any other company. We do not use Google Analytics, Google Ads, DoubleClick, LinkedIn, or any other third-party analytics tag.

Advertising: how we measure our ads without tracking you

We advertise on X and we need to know whether those ads lead to sign-ups. The usual way to do that is an advertising pixel — a script from the ad network that runs on your device and sets its own cookies. We deliberately do not do that. There is no ad-network script anywhere on this site, and no advertising cookie is ever set.

Instead: when you arrive from one of our ads, X appends a click id to the link. It identifies the click, not you — X issued it, it is meaningless to any other website, and it cannot be used to follow you anywhere. If you go on to buy, our server tells X that that click converted. The report goes from our server to X's; your browser is not involved.

• Nothing is stored on your device. The click id is held in memory for as long as the page is open and passed along in the address bar if you continue to checkout. Close the tab and it is gone. That is why this site has no cookie banner: there is nothing to ask permission for.
• No third-party script, anywhere. Not on this site, and not in the editor.
• What we send: the click id, and the fact that one of three things happened — the free editor was opened, a review licence was requested, or a purchase completed. No email address, no name, no licence key, no order value.
• Once each, not repeatedly. Each of those is reported at most once per ad click, so reloading a page does not send anything further.
• If you did not come from an ad, we send nothing at all. There is no click id, so there is nothing to report.
• We honour Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track as a refusal, and skip the report entirely.
• To opt out completely: remove the twclid parameter from the address bar before continuing, or reach the site by typing the address directly. See also X's privacy policy.

How to remove these

2. Clear the cookies and site data for photoeditrocket.com in your browser settings to remove every first-party item above.
