Privacy

No ads, analytics only with your consent

PickShade does not show advertising and does not sell your data. To see which pages are useful, we count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics: it sets no cookies, does not identify individual visitors and only reports totals such as page views, countries and page load speed.

We also use Google Analytics, but only after you choose Allow in the cookie notice. Until then, the Google Analytics script is not loaded and nothing is sent to Google. With your consent, Google Analytics sets the _ga cookies and tells us which pages are visited, where visitors come from, their country and device type. Google signals and ad personalization are turned off, and the data is not used for advertising. Google may process this data outside your country.

You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, the Google Analytics cookies are deleted.

What stays in your browser

Your theme choice and your color history are saved in your browser storage on this device. You can clear the history on the history page or by clearing site data in your browser.

Images you open in the image picker or the color blindness simulator are read by your browser and are never sent to our servers.

The clipboard is used only when you copy a value or paste a color yourself.

Browser extension

The PickShade extension does not collect or send any data. Your recent colors and preferred format are kept in the extension storage of your browser and are removed together with the extension.

The extension reads the open page only after you click its icon or press its shortcut, and only to pick a color or collect the page palette. The page snapshot used by the eyedropper in Firefox stays in the memory of that tab and is not sent anywhere.

Server logs

Like any website, our web server keeps technical logs with the requested address, time, IP address and browser type. They are used only to keep the service running and secure and are deleted after a limited time.

Changes

If accounts or sync are added later, this page will describe exactly what is stored before those features launch.
