Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how gifsdownload.com and its partners use them on https://gifsdownload.com/, and the choices available to you. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, to keep services secure, and to measure and personalise advertising. Similar technologies, including web beacons, pixels, and local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy too.
Cookies that last only for the length of your visit and are deleted when you close the browser are called session cookies. Cookies that remain on your device for a set period are called persistent cookies.
Categories of cookies used on this site
- Strictly necessary. Required for the website and its core features to work, including basic security. The site cannot function properly without these and they cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Preference cookies. Remember choices you make, such as display settings, so the site behaves the way you expect on your next visit.
- Analytics cookies. Help us understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited and where people run into trouble, so that we can improve the tool. This information is not used to identify you personally.
- Advertising cookies. Set by us or by advertising partners to deliver adverts, measure their performance, limit how often you see the same advert, and, where applicable, personalise what you are shown.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by this website. Third-party cookies are set by other companies whose services appear on our pages, such as advertising and analytics providers. We do not control third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the companies concerned.
Advertising cookies and Google AdSense
This website may display advertising through Google AdSense and other partners.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve adverts based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve adverts to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.
- Where required by law, advertising and other non-essential cookies are only used after you have given consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.
You can review and control the adverts Google shows you, including turning off personalised advertising, at Google Ads Settings. You can opt out of personalised advertising from many participating companies at www.aboutads.info, the Network Advertising Initiative, or Your Online Choices in Europe.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand aggregate usage patterns, such as which pages are most visited and where errors occur. Any analytics provider we use processes data according to its own privacy policy, and we configure such tools to collect no more than we need.
How to manage or delete cookies
Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete them individually or entirely, and block them from being set. These controls are usually found in the Settings, Preferences, or Privacy section of your browser. Useful starting points are the help pages for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of this site from working correctly, and that clearing cookies will also remove any advertising opt-outs stored as cookies on that device.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is still no agreed industry standard for how websites should respond to it, so we do not currently change our behaviour based on that signal. The opt-out tools listed above remain the most reliable way to control personalised advertising.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our services, partners, or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was most recently revised, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
