What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to the site owners and advertising networks.

How PDFsHero Uses Cookies

First and foremost, PDFsHero does not use any cookies to process your files.

Because our PDF tools operate entirely within your browser utilizing WebAssembly and JavaScript, we do not need to track session states, upload IDs, or user accounts via cookies. You can merge, split, compress, and convert documents completely anonymously without any functional cookies required by our core engine.

How Third-Party Cookies May Be Used

While our primary PDF engine requires no cookies, our website may display advertisements to keep our tools 100% free for everyone.

• Advertising Partners: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Analytics: We may use basic, anonymized analytics (like Google Analytics or Vercel Analytics) to understand how many people visit our site, which helps us improve performance.

Managing Cookies

Your web browser allows you to control and manage cookies. If you prefer, you can adjust your settings to decline cookies from our site or third-party networks.

Rest assured, disabling cookies will not break the core PDF tools on PDFsHero. You will still be able to convert and process files securely in your browser.
