Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.
GifyLabs uses a minimal set of cookies and local storage to provide our service. We respect your privacy and keep cookie usage to the bare essentials.
2. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| auth_token | Stores your JWT authentication token so you stay logged in | 7 days | Local Storage |
| gifylab_cookie_consent | Records your cookie consent preference | Persistent | Local Storage |
3. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
If you accept analytics cookies, we may use them to understand how visitors interact with GifyLabs. These cookies help us improve the Service by tracking usage patterns, identifying errors, and measuring performance.
Analytics cookies are only loaded if you explicitly consent via the cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics scripts or cookies will be activated.
We currently do not use any third-party analytics services. If we add them in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
4. Third-Party Cookies
When you use our billing features, you may interact with Stripe's payment processing. Stripe may set its own cookies during the checkout process. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
GifyLabs does not set any other third-party cookies.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Cookie Banner: When you first visit GifyLabs, a banner lets you accept or decline optional cookies.
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Clear Local Storage: You can clear local storage via your browser's developer tools (this will log you out).
Note: Blocking essential cookies (auth_token) will prevent you from using GifyLabs while logged in.
6. Do Not Track
GifyLabs respects browser Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals. If your browser sends a DNT header, we will not load optional analytics cookies regardless of your cookie consent selection.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via an updated banner or notification on our website.
