Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember information between visits — for example, a theme preference or a consent choice — and they help site owners understand how their site is used.
Because all PDF processing on GoFreeConvert happens entirely in your browser, we do not need any cookies to handle your files. The cookies and similar browser storage we do use fall into three categories:
| Category | Example | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | cookie_consent_accepted, theme | Remembers your cookie consent choice and interface preferences (light/dark mode). | Up to 12 months (localStorage). |
| Analytics | _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics 4) | Helps us understand which tools are used most so we can improve them. Data is aggregated and anonymised. | Up to 24 months. |
| Advertising | Google AdSense cookies (e.g. __gads, __gpi, IDE) | Used by Google to show ads and to measure ad performance. GoFreeConvert is supported by advertising revenue. | Up to 24 months (set by Google). |
