Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. This page explains what cookies (and similar technologies) PDF Utils uses and how you can control them.
What we use
| Category | Purpose | Set by | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | The PDF tool is stateless and works without cookies. The only local value we store is your consent choice (see below). | PDF Utils | Yes |
| Advertising | To serve and measure ads, and (with your consent) personalize them. | Google AdSense and partners | No |
| Analytics | To understand traffic in aggregate (enabled in the future). | PDF Utils / analytics provider | No |
Consent
We only load non-essential cookies (advertising and analytics) after you chooseAccept in the cookie banner. Choosing Reject keeps them off, and the PDF tool continues to work normally. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage so we don't ask again.
Managing and opting out
- To change a previous choice, clear this site's data in your browser and reload — the consent banner will appear again.
- Block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
- Opt out of Google ad personalization at Google Ads Settings.
- Learn about interest-based ads and opt-out options at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
Local storage
We store one value in your browser's local storage: your consent decision (pdfutils_consent). It's not a cookie and isn't sent to any server; it just remembers your choice on this device.
