Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 2026

1. Transparency First

At Tico URL, we keep things short—including our fine print. We respect your privacy, but to keep this service free and "tico-sized" for everyone, we use advertising to pay the server bills.

2. Advertising & Google DoubleClick Cookie

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on Tico URL. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

What you should know:

  • Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.

3. Data We Collect

  • URL Data: We store the original long URL you provide.
  • Analytics: We track clicks, timestamps, and general location (Country/City) to show you how your links perform.
