Welcome to TakeDesigns (“TakeDesigns”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). We operate a collection of free, browser-based image editing and conversion tools accessible at https://takedesigns.com.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and what choices you have. By using TakeDesigns, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some tools. For general guidance, visit allaboutcookies.org.
5. Advertising – Google AdSense
TakeDesigns is supported by advertising revenue. We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service by Google LLC, to display ads on our website. Advertising allows us to keep all tools completely free.
5.1 How Google AdSense Works
Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites across the internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to TakeDesigns and other sites.
5.2 Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads
Depending on your consent and location, you may see personalized or non-personalized ads. Personalized ads use your inferred interests based on browsing history. Non-personalized ads are contextual — based on the content of the page you are viewing, not your personal data.
5.3 DoubleClick Cookie
Google uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve ads and track which ads have been shown to a user. This helps Google and its partners limit the number of times an ad is shown and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
5.4 Opting Out of Ad Personalization
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. You can also opt out of Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
