Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This Cookie Policy explains how FlexyPdf (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit flexypdf.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have about their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use a site, and deliver relevant advertising. We also use similar technologies such as browser localStorage and sessionStorage to save your preferences directly in your browser.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into four categories based on their purpose:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the site to function. They enable core features such as remembering your cookie consent choice, storing your light/dark theme preference, and keeping tool settings (for example, compression levels) between sessions. These cookies cannot be switched off and they do not store any information that personally identifies you.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use FlexyPdf in aggregate — for example, which tools are most popular and where users encounter errors. This helps us prioritise improvements. Analytics data is collected in an aggregated form and we have enabled IP anonymisation where applicable. If you decline optional cookies in our cookie banner, analytics cookies are treated as optional.
2.3 Advertising Cookies
FlexyPdf is funded by ads served through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
2.4 Functional Cookies
These remember preferences that improve your experience, such as recent tool history, preferred language, and interface settings. They are strictly optional and do not track you across other websites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies directly. The main third parties are:
| Provider | Purpose | More Info |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense | Serve ads, measure performance, limit ad frequency. | Google Ads Privacy |
| Google Analytics | Measure aggregated, anonymised site usage. | Google Privacy Policy |
| DoubleClick DART | Google uses the DART cookie to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites. | DART info |
4. How to Control Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies on FlexyPdf:
- On this site: use the cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit to accept all cookies or keep only essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser and you can clear it at any time by clearing site data.
- In your browser: most browsers let you view, manage and delete cookies through the settings menu. You can also set your browser to block third-party cookies by default.
- Ad personalisation: visit Google Ads Settings to control the ads Google shows you, or opt out at aboutads.info.
- Do Not Track: we respect the Do Not Track (DNT) signal where practical. If DNT is enabled in your browser, we treat it as a signal to limit optional tracking.
Please note that if you block essential cookies, some parts of FlexyPdf may not work as expected (for example, your theme preference will reset on every visit).
5. Children's Privacy
FlexyPdf is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect or target information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. When we make a material change we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to revisit this policy periodically.
