Pixel Analyzer — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-24

Overview

Pixel Analyzer is a Chrome extension for inspecting and debugging ad tracking pixel URLs. This policy describes what data the extension handles and how.

Data the extension stores

Pixel Analyzer stores the following data locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local:

URLs you have analyzed, kept as a history list of up to 10 items
The last analyzed URL, restored when you reopen the extension

This data never leaves your browser. It is not transmitted to any server, not shared with any third party, and not accessible to the developer. You can delete it at any time using the "clear history" button in the extension.

Data the extension reads

When you use the right-click context menu to analyze a pixel URL, the extension reads the contents of the active text field or current text selection on the page. This value is used only to populate the URL input field and is never stored beyond your browser session.

When the DevTools panel is open, the extension observes network requests made by the inspected page in order to display pixel requests in the hit list. This data is processed locally and is never transmitted or stored beyond your current DevTools session.
