Your privacy is critically important to us.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Summary

  • We use local storage to save your favorites and recent usage.
  • All emoticon data is processed locally in your browser.
  • Google Analytics may collect website usage and device information.
  • Google AdSense and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure advertisements.

Data Storage

Emoticon.io stores your preferences locally in your browser, including:

  • Your favorite emoticons
  • Recently used emoticons
  • Search history (if any)

This data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers or any third parties. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

3rd Party Services

We use the following third-party services to improve our website:

  • Google Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website
  • Google AdSense: To display and measure advertisements that help fund the website
  • Netlify: For hosting and content delivery

These services may process page visits, interactions, browser and device information, IP address, approximate location, advertising identifiers, ad impressions, and ad interactions. Learn more in Google's partner-sites policy.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Emoticon.io collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

Emoticon.io's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Emoticon.io's visitors use its website. From time to time, Emoticon.io may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.

Emoticon.io uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, remember consent choices, and serve, limit, and measure advertisements. We also use local storage to remember your favorite emoticons and recently used emoticons.

Emoticon.io visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Emoticon.io's website, with the drawback that certain features (like saving favorites) may not function properly without local storage.

Advertising and Your Choices

Google and participating advertising partners may use cookies or other identifiers to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted and consented to. When a privacy message is presented, you can accept, reject, or manage the available consent choices.

You can also manage personalized advertising through Google My Ad Center.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Emoticon.io may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Emoticon.io's sole discretion. Emoticon.io encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy.

Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
