PhotoPostman uses only essential cookies and similar storage. They are needed for the service to work and to keep it secure, so the law does not require your consent for them. We do not use analytics, advertising, social media or tracking cookies, and we do not show a consent banner because there is nothing optional to accept.
If we ever want to add optional cookies, we will ask first. Refusing will be as easy as accepting, and you will be able to change your mind at any time.
