Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Overview

FVideoDownload.com (“we”, “our”, or “the Service”) operates a free web utility designed to preview and download publicly available YouTube video and Shorts cover graphics. We respect your privacy and are committed to operating with minimal data collection.

2. No Account or Registration Required

You do not need to create an account, log in, or provide personal details (such as your name, email address, or billing information) to use FVideoDownload.com. We do not maintain user profiles.

3. How Media and Thumbnails Are Handled

When you enter a YouTube URL, our service extracts the public video identifier and fetches the available thumbnail resolution links directly from Google's open content delivery servers (i.ytimg.com). We do not host, store, or archive any image files on our servers. When you click download, the file streams directly to your browser with standard attachment headers for local saving.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense and third-party advertising vendors to serve advertisements when you visit our website. Google uses cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other websites on the internet.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this website or other sites.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to gather anonymized information about visitor traffic and usage trends (such as browser type, pages visited, and session duration). This helps us optimize performance and troubleshoot website errors. Google Analytics does not collect personally identifiable information.

6. Server Access Logs

Like standard web infrastructure, our web servers automatically log basic request metadata including IP address, request timestamp, HTTP user agent, and referring URL. These logs are maintained temporarily for security monitoring, rate limiting against automated scraping, and debugging system errors. They are never sold or used to track individuals.

7. External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party platforms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.
