1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. These technologies allow a website to recognise your device, remember certain information across pages or visits, and support various website functions.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party) or by third-party services that provide functionality on that page (third-party). They may persist for a session only or for a longer period depending on their purpose.

They cannot be disabled through optional cookie preferences without affecting core site functionality.
Essential technologies do not track you across third-party websites or serve advertising.
5. Analytics
If analytics services are enabled on PNG Valley, they may process information about how you use the website, including pages visited, time spent, device type, and general location. This information is used to understand visitor behaviour and improve the site.
Where Google Analytics is used, it may place cookies or use similar technologies on your device. You can opt out of Google Analytics data collection by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
Where legally required, analytics technologies should not be activated until appropriate consent has been obtained.
6. Advertising and Google AdSense
PNG Valley may use Google AdSense or other advertising partners if advertising is enabled. When active, Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies in connection with ads shown on PNG Valley.
Advertising technologies may be used for:
- Delivering advertisements relevant to your interests
- Frequency capping to limit how often an ad is shown
- Measuring ad performance and effectiveness
- Fraud prevention and invalid traffic detection
- Ad personalisation where permitted by applicable law
Google advertising technologies may use information from your visits to PNG Valley and other websites to serve ads. You can manage your personalised ad choices through Google Ads Settings. For more information, see Google's Advertising Technologies page.
7. Consent and Cookie Choices
Where legally required, optional analytics and advertising technologies should not be activated until you have been given the opportunity to accept or decline them. A consent management interface may be provided on PNG Valley for this purpose.
If a consent management interface is available, you may accept, reject, or change your optional cookie preferences at any time through that interface. Withdrawing consent does not affect any processing that took place before withdrawal.
Essential technologies that are strictly necessary for security and core site operation cannot always be disabled through the consent interface.
Note: This policy page describes cookie practices and consent rights. It does not itself provide the consent management interface. CMP implementation is a separate operational function.
