Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services used by that website ("third-party cookies").

2. How DocsConverter Uses Cookies

DocsConverter uses cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) for several purposes:

  • To remember your tool preferences (e.g., Pomodoro timer settings, World Clock favorites)
  • To analyze how visitors use our site and improve its performance
  • To display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
  • To measure the effectiveness of our content and user engagement

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential / Functional Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly. They include cookies that enable core tool functionality, such as saving your Pomodoro session settings, World Clock city favorites, and user interface preferences. Without these, some tools may not work correctly. These cookies do not track you across other websites.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest / Functionality

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with DocsConverter — which tools are most popular, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This information is aggregated and anonymized. IP addresses are truncated before processing. This helps us improve our tools and content.

Provider: Google LLC | Retention: Up to 14 months

Advertising Cookies

DocsConverter is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense, which places cookies on your device to show you relevant advertisements. These cookies may track your browsing behaviour across different websites to build a profile of your interests. This allows Google to display ads that may be more relevant to you.

Provider: Google LLC | Cookie names: NID, DSID, ANID, __gads, and others

4. Google AdSense and Advertising

We participate in the Google AdSense program. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to DocsConverter and other sites on the internet. This is known as interest-based advertising or personalized advertising.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on:

  • Your prior visits to DocsConverter
  • Your visits to other websites that use Google advertising services
  • Your location, language, and device type
  • Your interests and browsing history

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling or limiting how cookies are used:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these under "Privacy", "Security", or "Advanced" settings. You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics.

Note: Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of DocsConverter. Essential cookies (e.g., tool preference storage) are necessary for some tools to work correctly.

6. localStorage and sessionStorage

In addition to cookies, DocsConverter uses browser localStorage and sessionStorage to save your preferences. This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. Examples include:

  • Pomodoro timer session count and settings
  • World Clock city favorites
  • Tool UI preferences

You can clear this data at any time through your browser's developer tools or site settings.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
