Cookies
How we use cookies and how you can control them.
Last updated: 29 June 2025
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how pdfruk uses them, and the choices you have. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand how visitors use the service.
How we use cookies
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Site to function. They may include cookies that remember your theme preference (light or dark mode) or support basic security features.
Analytics cookies
We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to collect aggregated, anonymous usage statistics — such as which pages are visited and how long users stay. This helps us improve pdfruk and prioritise the PDF tools our users need most.
What we do not use cookies for
- Storing the contents of your PDF files.
- Tracking you across unrelated third-party websites for advertising.
- Requiring cookies to process PDFs in browser-based tools.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may affect theme preferences and some site features, but core PDF tools that run in your browser — like merge and split — will still work.
To opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Updates
We may update this cookie policy when our practices change. Check the last updated date above for the current version.
