1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide anonymous reporting data.
2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage
PaperPilot uses minimal cookies and local browser storage for the following purposes:
- Essential Storage: Storing your cookie banner consent decision (
paperpilot_cookie_consent) and user interface theme preferences. - Performance & Anonymous Telemetry: If analytics is active, privacy-preserving metrics help us understand which tools are popular and whether processing errors occur.
- Advertising Cookies: When advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) are active, third-party cookies help serve relevant advertisements and cap repeat ad impressions.
3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies
Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet. You may manage or opt out of personalized cookies through your browser settings or by visiting Google Ad Settings.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You can modify your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time. Because our core PDF manipulation features rely entirely on in-browser WebAssembly and Canvas rather than cookies, disabling third-party cookies will not hinder your ability to compress, merge, split, or convert documents.
