Cookie Policy
Last Updated: August 28, 2026 • Full Google Consent Mode v2 Compliance
This Cookie Policy explains how The PDF Converter uses cookies, browser local storage, and related web tracking technologies when you visit our website, and how you can manage your advertising preferences.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to remember user preferences, maintain session state, optimize site performance, and provide relevant commercial advertising.
HTML5 localStorage functions similarly to cookies, storing configuration tokens securely within your browser without sending them to the server on every HTTP request.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Essential & Functional Tokens
These tokens are necessary for the website to function properly. For example, app-theme stores your Dark/Light mode preference, and user_cookie_consent records your cookie consent choices so the banner is not repeatedly displayed.
B. Advertising & Google AdSense Cookies
We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its ad technology partners may place cookies (such as DoubleClick DART cookies) to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on previous visits to this or other websites.
C. Performance & Error Monitoring Telemetry
Anonymous telemetry may record client-side script errors, page rendering latency, or CDN routing health to ensure continuous stability across all browsers.
3. Google Consent Mode v2 Implementation
To respect European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Swiss user privacy requirements under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, our website integrates Google Consent Mode v2:
- Default State: Advertising storage (
ad_storage), user data (ad_user_data), and personalization (ad_personalization) remain denied by default until affirmative consent is given. - User Control: Clicking “Essential Only” ensures non-personalized ads are rendered without tracking cookies.
- Consent Modification: You can clear your browser storage or change preferences at any time.
4. How to Opt-Out and Manage Cookies
You have complete autonomy over your cookie preferences through multiple channels:
