Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 24, 2026
What's a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website can store in your browser to remember information between visits — like a login session, a preference, or, most commonly, an identifier used for analytics or advertising.
The tools themselves use zero cookies
Merging a PDF, signing a document, converting an image — none of it involves a cookie. Every tool runs locally in your browser with no server round-trip, so there's nothing to remember about you between visits. You could block all cookies entirely and every tool on this site would work exactly the same.
Cookies the site may set
This site uses Google Analytics to understand traffic at a high level, and we intend to run Google AdSense to keep it free. Both are third-party services from Google that set their own cookies, described below.
| Service | Purpose | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Counts visits and page views so we know which tools people actually use. | Analytics | Active |
| Google AdSense | Shows ads that fund the site, and may personalize them based on your browsing. | Advertising | Planned |
Google AdSense is not yet active — this policy already covers it so there's nothing new to disclose the day it goes live. The Privacy Policy will be updated the same day it is enabled.
Controlling or opting out of these cookies
- Your browser. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, including third-party ones, in its privacy settings.
- Google Ads Settings. Manage or opt out of personalized advertising directly with Google at adssettings.google.com.
- Industry opt-outs. The Network Advertising Initiative and aboutads.info let you opt out of personalized ads across many providers at once, not just Google.
- How Google uses cookies. For the full technical detail, see Google's advertising cookie policy.
Opting out or blocking cookies never affects any tool on this site — only whether you see generic or personalized ads, and whether your visit is counted in our analytics.
