This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how PDFtooWord uses them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. Please read this policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors use their site.

Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time spent, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data is anonymized and aggregated. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit PDFtooWord, you'll see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. You can choose to "Accept All" cookies or "Reject" non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved for 1 year via the cookie_consent cookie.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, so we do not change our data collection practices based on DNT requests. We rely on your explicit cookie consent choices instead.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
