Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
PrivQR uses limited browser storage to keep the site functional, remember preferences, and understand aggregate site performance. QR content is generated in your browser and is not stored by PrivQR servers. Core tools do not require an account or login.
Cloudflare hosts and delivers our website. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for information about how it processes service data.
We may use cookies or local storage for essential product behavior, including:
- Remembering generation preferences such as size or export settings
- Keeping optional local counters or diagnostics on your device
- Supporting offline or browser-only QR generation
We load Google Analytics 4 only after you allow analytics. If you decline or have not chosen, we do not load Google tags or send visit requests to Google.
Only after you allow analytics do we enable cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to measure page visits and optional tool actions. Advertising storage, advertising user data, and advertising personalization always remain denied. Google signals are disabled.
QR content from our browser tools stays on your device and is never uploaded to analytics. Wallet details, WiFi credentials, Matter payloads, pairing PINs, barcode values, and product data are excluded. Tracked page URLs exclude query strings and fragments; external referrers are limited to their origin.
Your choice is stored on this device under privqr.analytics-consent.v1. Use Analytics preferences in the footer to change it at any time. Declining or withdrawing permission disables Google Analytics collection and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies. QR generation and file downloads remain available. You can also clear cookies using your browser settings.
You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Some preferences or local counters may reset when you do this, but core QR generation should remain available.
For broader data handling details, read the Privacy Policy.
Questions about cookies or browser storage can be sent to support@privqr.com.
PVUV.ai optional analytics
After analytics consent, we use the free hosted PVUV.ai service for page counts and bot filtering. Its script runs in a separate document that receives only a registered page path, without query strings, fragments or referrers. It does not receive QR code content, decoded payloads, WiFi credentials, Matter setup PINs, wallet details or images. The separate document does not record tool clicks or tool engagement; traffic-quality signals may be less complete. PVUV processes browser, screen, language, timing and automation signals. Its collection service receives your IP address; analytics uses keyed IP/network hashes, while infrastructure may process request logs. Its own first-party cookies (_pv_id, _pv_sid, _pv_ft and, when used, _pv_v/_pv_uid) maintain visitor/session and attribution state. Visitor/attribution cookies last about 13 months and may refresh; _pv_id may also remain in localStorage without automatic expiry. We add no separate one-year visitor cookie or account identification. Declining or withdrawing consent stops the frame and clears accessible PVUV identifiers. Browser settings can clear site data; cookie expiry does not delete server records. See https://www.pvuv.ai/privacy for provider access and retention.
