  • cookie consent preferences;
  • security or anti-abuse state;
  • plugin or interface preference data;
  • functional settings required for website operation.

4.2 Service-Side Stored Data

Some information saved by our systems is not itself a cookie, but is relevant to understanding what may be stored when you use our service.

As part of providing the image upscaling service, our systems may store:

  • uploaded image files;
  • upscaled output image files;
  • batch manifest data, such as batch ID, selected scale, and file lists;
  • processing progress data, such as status, total, done, failed, timestamps, and progress logs;
  • file metadata used during processing, such as source filename, file format, dimensions, and desired output extension;
  • error logs or technical records for failed processing steps.

This type of storage is part of normal service functionality and is described more fully in our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

5. Examples of Processing-Related Data That May Be Persisted

As part of the website’s workflow, technical systems may temporarily store or persist data such as:

  • Manifest information – batch ID, scale, input file keys, file names;
  • Progress information – batch ID, status, scale, total files, completed files, failed files, updated timestamps, and time-stamped logs;
  • Output paths – generated output object keys organized by batch and scale;
  • Error artifacts – technical error files or logs related to identification, resizing, processing, or output generation failures.

This information is used to operate the service, display progress, troubleshoot failures, and make outputs available for download.

6. How Long Cookies Are Kept

Cookie duration depends on the type of cookie used:

  • Session cookies are usually deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.

Retention periods may vary depending on:

  • core website behavior;
  • active plugins or integrations;
  • infrastructure providers;
  • browser settings;
  • third-party service configurations.

Service-side data retention, such as uploaded files and processing logs, is governed separately by our Privacy Policy and internal retention practices.
