Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 13, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar browser storage Remove Photo Bg uses, why, and how you can control them. All cookies listed here are first-party cookies of this website. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and no third-party analytics service runs on this site.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser, for example to keep you signed in. Similar technologies such as the browser's local storage work in the same way and are covered by this policy.
Your choice
When you first visit the site, a banner lets you accept all cookies, decline the optional ones or choose per category. Essential cookies are always active. Analytics cookies are used only if you accept them: until you choose, and after you decline, the analytics script does not run. You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Your choice is stored for 180 days.
