Does Cloudinary Store Any Cookies?

When using Cloudinary's service to deliver assets to your website or application users, cookies are not set or used by us.

Cloudinary's use of cookies is limited to the cookies that we use on our website at https://www.cloudinary.com/ and our Media Library interface, where those cookies may be set by Cloudinary or by different products and services that we use to manage our website's security, marketing, support, etc.  You can learn more about the cookies used by Cloudinary's website in our privacy policy and in our dedicated Cookie Policy page.

Cookies may also be set when using our widgets with third-party services, such as when using a third party upload source with our Upload Widget. In that case, cookies are set by the third-party service in order to authenticate user requests to that service, are not sent to Cloudinary, and are subject to that service's privacy policy.

Cookies on asset delivery requests

If you're seeing that requests from your browser to "res.cloudinary.com" or "<your cloud>-res.cloudinary.com" are including one or more cookies, that is likely because the cookies were set in your browser during a previous visit to our website or Media Library and because the cookie was set in a way that sends it on requests to all subdomains of cloudinary.com.

Where such asset delivery requests are received by us and contain cookies, the values are ignored, are not stored, and do not affect your account's behaviour.

If you clear all cookies for cloudinary.com and then access a site which is using Cloudinary images, you should see that no cookies are set by those asset requests. 

Please note that it's also possible depending on your plan to deliver assets via a subdomain of your own site, in which case any cookies sent with your asset delivery requests will be those scoped to your own domain, rather than to Cloudinary.com: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/advanced_url_delivery_options#private_cdns_and_cnames
