1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies cannot harm your device and do not contain executable code. They serve as a simple way for websites to recognize returning visitors and maintain state between page visits.

2. How We Use Cookies

FreeQRCodeGenerator.com uses cookies to:

  • Remember your cookie consent preferences
  • Save your last-used QR code type and settings
  • Maintain a smooth user experience across page visits
  • Analyze website traffic and usage patterns (with your consent)
  • Improve our Service based on how users interact with it

We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or build advertising profiles.

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices to improve your experience. For example, they can save which QR code type you last used so you don't have to re-select it each visit. They can be disabled, but doing so may reduce convenience.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. All data collected is anonymized and aggregated — we cannot identify individual users from this data. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. These include:

  • Google Analytics (Google LLC): Used with your consent to analyze website usage. Google may process this data in the United States. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
  • Cloudflare: Our CDN and security provider may set cookies related to bot detection and load balancing. These are strictly necessary.

We do not allow third-party advertising cookies on our website.
