Cookie policy
PDFUAE uses necessary security and account cookies plus a random identifier for limited daily usage measurement. We do not store file names or file contents in analytics.
Necessary cookies
- pdfuae_session: keeps an authenticated account session and is protected from JavaScript access.
- pdfuae_global_visitor: a random identifier on the global domain used to count a device as a unique visitor and recognise a later return. The server stores a protected fingerprint rather than the original value or IP address and removes it after roughly 13 months of inactivity.
- __cf_bm: may be set temporarily by Cloudflare for bot and abuse protection; PDFUAE does not use it for advertising.
Optional analytics
PDFUAE uses aggregate first-party measurement to improve completion and performance. Google Analytics loads only after you choose “Allow analytics”. Choosing “Necessary only” keeps Google measurement disabled and does not limit the free tools. Advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation remain denied in either case.
What we do not measure
We do not store file names, contents, text or images for analytics, and we do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. Tool metrics are limited to the tool, result state, approximate duration, page count and a rounded size band.
Controls
Your analytics choice is stored locally on your device and can be reset by clearing site data in your browser settings. Removing the session cookie signs you out; removing the visitor identifier may count the device as a new visit. Free local tools remain available without an account.
