Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — like your preferences — and help us understand how the site is being used.

2. Cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.

• Session management — remembers your cookie preferences within a session
• Security cookies — help protect against cross-site request forgery

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. All data is anonymised.

• Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) — tracks page views, session duration, tool usage patterns. No personal data or document contents are tracked.
• Plausible Analytics — privacy-friendly alternative that collects no personally identifiable information

Advertising cookies

Used to display relevant adverts and measure their effectiveness.

• Contextual ad cookies — help serve adverts relevant to PDF tools. Never based on your document contents.
• Frequency capping cookies — prevent the same advert from showing too many times

3. What we do NOT track

• The contents of any document you process
• File names, file sizes or document metadata
• Your identity across other websites
• Anything related to the documents processed locally in your browser

4. Managing your cookie preferences

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Cookie banner — when you first visit the site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies
• Browser settings — all major browsers let you block or delete cookies (see your browser’s help documentation)
• Opt-out tools — Google Analytics opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Note: disabling analytics cookies means we can’t tell which tools are most useful and improve them accordingly.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use:

• Google Fonts — may set cookies when delivering fonts
• Cloudflare — sets security cookies for DDoS protection
• CDN providers — may set performance cookies for library delivery

These third parties have their own cookie and privacy policies which we recommend you review.

6. Cookie duration

• Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
• Analytics cookies — typically 1–2 years
• Advertising cookies — typically 30–90 days
• Preference cookies — up to 1 year

7. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or change the services we use. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
