What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Websites use them to remember choices, protect sessions, understand site performance, and support services such as analytics or advertising.
Browser storage, such as local storage, may be used in a similar way for interface settings like dark mode, cookie choices, or temporary UI preferences.
How SmallPDF Tools uses cookies
Essential cookies
Support security, cookie consent, CSRF/session protection, and basic website operation.
Preference storage
Remember interface choices such as dark mode, accepted cookie settings, and simple tool preferences.
Analytics cookies
May help measure page views, device type, browser issues, and content performance when analytics is configured.
Advertising cookies
May be used by Google AdSense and partners only after advertising is approved and configured.
Google AdSense cookies
SmallPDF Tools may apply for Google AdSense. If ads are approved and added later, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, and personalize ads where permitted.
AdSense code is not required for this policy page to exist, and ad scripts should not be loaded before approval. Once ads are enabled, users can manage ad personalization through Google settings and browser controls.
Analytics cookies
Analytics tools may be used to understand which pages need improvement, which devices are common, and whether users encounter layout or speed issues. Analytics should measure website usage, not the contents of uploaded PDF files.
The site should be configured to respect consent settings where required and avoid collecting unnecessary personal information.
Uploaded files and cookies
Cookies are separate from PDF upload processing. Cookies do not read the content of a PDF file. Upload workflows may use server-side session checks or CSRF tokens to reduce abuse, but the file itself is handled through the selected tool process.
For file handling details, read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Your cookie choices
- Use the cookie banner to accept or decline non-essential cookies where available.
- Clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings.
- Block third-party cookies through your browser if you prefer stricter tracking controls.
- Use Google account settings to manage ad personalization if advertising is enabled later.
