This website, like many others, uses small files called cookies to help us optimize our service.
What are ‘cookies’?
‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Chrome or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store things like user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a ‘ local memory’ for the website, so that it can recognize you when you come back and respond appropriately.
Are cookies dangerous?
No. Cookies are small pieces of text. They are not computer programs, and they can't be executed as code. Also, they cannot be used to disseminate viruses.
How does ChromaChecker use cookies?
A visit to a page on ChromaChecker may generate the following types of cookies:

- Third-party cookies
ChromaChecker user cookies
When you use ChromaChecker, we may send one or more cookies to your computer to uniquely identify your browser and let ChromaChecker help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may convey anonymous information about how you browse the Service to us. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser so that it can be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.
Anonymous analytics cookies
Every time someone visits our website, software provided by another organisation generates an ‘anonymous analytics cookie’. These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies and, if you don’t, we generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual users we have, and how often they visit the site.
Unless you are signed in to ChromaChecker, we cannot use these cookies to identify individuals. We use them to gather statistics, for example, the number of visits to a page. If you are logged in, we will also know the details you gave to us for this, such as your username and email address.
Third-party cookies
On some pages of our website, other organisations may also set their own anonymous cookies. They do this to track the success of their application, or to customise the application for you. Because of how cookies work, our website cannot access these cookies, nor can the other organization access the data in cookies we use on our website.
How do I turn cookies off?
It is usually possible to stop your browser accepting cookies, or to stop it accepting cookies from a particular website. However, some features of our service may not function properly if you disable accepting cookies. All modern browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your browser. Use the ‘Help’ option in your browser for more details.
