Privacy policy | Emojisly

1. Introduction

Emojisly is a simple website that lets you browse and copy emojis. You can use the site without creating an account or sharing your name, email address or similar details. However, some information is collected automatically when you visit, especially because this site uses advertising and basic analytics.

This page is written in plain language so you can understand how your data is handled. If you continue to use Emojisly, it means you are comfortable with the practices described below.

2. Information you actively provide

In normal use, you do not need to send any personal information to Emojisly. There are no user accounts, public profiles or comment sections.

You might choose to share information in these cases:

Contact: If you send an email or use a contact form (if available), the message may include your name, email address or other details you choose to share. This information is used only to respond to your message and handle your request.
Feedback and support: If you report an issue or suggest an improvement, the content of your message may be stored while your request is reviewed.

This type of information is not sold to advertisers. It is kept only as long as needed for communication and basic record keeping.

3. Information collected automatically

When you visit Emojisly, some information is collected automatically by the server and by third-party services (such as analytics and advertising providers). This is standard for most websites and helps the site stay secure, fast and sustainable.

This automatically collected information may include:

Your IP address (often stored in server logs)
Basic browser and device type (for example, mobile or desktop)
Pages you visit and the time spent on them
Referring URL (the page you came from, if any)
Technical error information if something goes wrong

This information is generally used in an aggregated way to understand overall usage, detect abuse (such as bots or attacks) and improve performance. It is not used here to build a detailed personal profile of individual visitors.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Emojisly uses cookies and similar technologies mainly for three reasons:

To support basic site functionality
To measure overall traffic and performance
To show advertising (including through Google AdSense)

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. Some cookies are set directly by Emojisly, and some are set by third-party partners such as Google for ads and analytics.

Depending on your location, you may see a consent banner or options that allow you to accept, reject or customize certain types of cookies, especially those used for personalized advertising.

5. Google AdSense and advertising

Emojisly uses Google AdSense to display ads. This helps cover hosting and development costs so that the site can remain free to use.

Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. This is sometimes called “interest-based” or “personalized” advertising.

In practice, this means:

Google may use a special cookie (such as the DART cookie) to show ads based on your past visits to Emojisly and other sites.
AdSense may collect information about which ads you see, click and interact with in order to measure performance and improve ad quality.
Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on Emojisly using their own cookies.

You can learn more about how Google uses data in advertising and how to manage your preferences on Google’s own pages, such as the Google Ads and data policies and the Ads Settings page.

If you do not want Google to use cookies for personalized ads, you can disable personalized advertising in your Google account, or you can choose to reject certain cookies via the consent options (where available) on this site.

6. Third-party cookies and advertising partners

In addition to Google AdSense, other third-party advertising or analytics partners may be used. These partners can also set cookies and collect data regarding:

Ad impressions and clicks
Basic device and browser information
How often certain ads are shown

Each partner has its own privacy policy explaining how it handles information. Emojisly does not control or store all of this data directly; it relies on these partners to manage it according to their own rules and applicable laws.

If required by law in your region, you may see a list of active partners and have options to manage consent for each of them individually.

7. Analytics and usage statistics

Emojisly may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how the site is used. Typical questions this data helps answer include:

Which categories are visited most often?
Which pages are slow and need performance improvements?
Which emojis are frequently copied?

Analytics data is usually viewed in an aggregated form, such as charts and totals, rather than as a list of specific users. The intention is to improve the site’s structure and content, not to follow the behavior of individual people across the web.

8. Data retention

Data is kept only for as long as it’s reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy:

Server logs are kept for a limited time for security, troubleshooting and operational reasons.
Analytics data may be kept longer in aggregate form to understand long-term trends.
Contact emails are kept as part of normal correspondence records.

When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized so that it cannot be linked back to individual visitors in a meaningful way.

9. Your choices and how to control your data

You have several ways to control how data is used:

Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. This may affect how some features work, but the core site (browsing emojis) should still function.
Google ad settings: You can manage how Google shows ads to you, including turning off personalized ads, at adssettings.google.com.
Consent banner or settings (where available): If you see a cookie or consent banner on Emojisly, you can use it to accept or reject certain categories of cookies, especially those related to personalized ads.
Contact: If you have questions or want to know more about what is stored about you in connection with this site, you can contact the site owner using the details on the contact page.

10. Children's privacy

Emojisly is not aimed specifically at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The site does not provide features such as user accounts or direct messaging.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the contact form or email, you can request that the information be removed by contacting the site owner. Reasonable steps will be taken to delete such data where possible.

11. Security

No website can guarantee perfect security, but reasonable measures are taken to protect data associated with Emojisly. This includes using trusted hosting providers, keeping software updated, and limiting access to systems that store logs and configuration data.

Because the site does not store sensitive information like passwords or payment details, the overall risk related to stored data is intentionally kept low.

12. Changes to this privacy policy

This policy may be updated from time to time as the site changes, new features are added or legal requirements evolve. When that happens, the text on this page will be updated. In some cases, a notice may be shown to highlight important changes, especially ones related to cookies or advertising.

By continuing to use Emojisly after a change, you accept the updated policy. If you are unsure about anything, you are encouraged to reread this page from time to time.

13. Contact

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, advertising on the site or how information is handled in general, you can contact the site owner using the details provided on the contact page. Clear, polite questions and concerns are always welcome.
