Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use Site Kit by Google to understand how visitors interact with AI Tool Pickr. This plugin integrates Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and related Google services directly into the site.

How to Opt Out of Analytics Cookies
If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you have a few straightforward options. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available directly from Google and prevents your visit data from being sent to Google Analytics across any site that uses it. Alternatively, most modern browsers allow you to block third-party cookies entirely through your privacy settings, which will also prevent analytics cookies from being set.
You can also adjust your preferences at any time through our cookie consent tool, which appears when you first visit the site and remains accessible through your browser settings.

Some pages on AI Tool Pickr may load content or scripts from third-party services. These services may set their own cookies independent of our control. Third parties that may set cookies include Google (via Site Kit and embedded content), Cloudflare (for security and performance), and Brevo (for newsletter functionality if you have subscribed). We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these providers directly if you have questions about their specific data practices.
