Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files (typically 4KB or less) that websites store on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit them. They serve as a 'memory' for websites, allowing them to remember information about your visit and preferences. Each cookie contains: a unique identifier, the website domain that created it, an expiration date, and specific data relevant to its purpose. Cookies cannot access other files on your device, run programs, or contain viruses—they're simply text data. Modern websites rely on cookies for essential functionality (like keeping you logged in) and optional features (like remembering your language preference). Browser standards and privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) give you full control over which cookies you accept. While the term 'cookie' might sound concerning, most cookies are harmless and necessary for websites to function. However, some cookies (especially advertising cookies) can track your browsing behavior across multiple websites, which is why we give you transparent control over optional cookies on our platform.

Types of Cookies We Use

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over cookies stored on your device. Modern web browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies at any time through their settings menu. You can choose to: (1) Block all cookies (may break website functionality), (2) Block only third-party cookies (recommended for privacy), (3) Delete all cookies periodically or after each browsing session, (4) Allow cookies only from specific trusted websites, (5) Receive notifications when websites try to set cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent our file conversion service from working properly. Most browsers also offer a 'Private' or 'Incognito' mode that automatically deletes cookies when you close the browser window. See browser-specific instructions in the sections below for detailed guidance.

  • Browser-Specific Cookie Settings: Every modern web browser provides built-in tools to control how cookies are stored, used, and deleted on your device. You can access these settings through your browser's preferences or settings menu, typically under 'Privacy' or 'Security' sections. Common cookie control options available in all major browsers include: (1) Blocking all cookies completely (not recommended—breaks most websites), (2) Blocking only third-party cookies (recommended for privacy while maintaining functionality), (3) Allowing cookies only from websites you visit directly (first-party cookies), (4) Viewing a list of all stored cookies and deleting specific ones, (5) Setting cookies to auto-delete when you close your browser, (6) Creating exceptions for trusted websites. Below are step-by-step instructions for the most popular web browsers. Remember that blocking essential cookies on our website will prevent file uploads, conversions, and downloads from working properly. We recommend blocking only third-party and advertising cookies if privacy is a concern.
  • Cookie Preferences: Manage your cookie preferences and opt-out options
  • Third-Party Opt-Out Tools & Resources: Beyond browser settings, several specialized tools and services help you opt out of tracking and advertising cookies across the web. These tools give you more granular control over your online privacy: (1) Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) - Opt out of personalized Google AdSense ads while still seeing non-personalized ads. This is the primary tool for controlling ads on our website. (2) NAI Opt-Out Tool (optout.networkadvertising.org) - Opt out from dozens of advertising networks at once. (3) DAA WebChoices (optout.aboutads.info) - Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool for interest-based advertising. (4) Browser Extensions - Install privacy tools like Privacy Badger (EFF), uBlock Origin, or Ghostery to automatically block tracking cookies. (5) VPN Services - Hide your IP address and location from advertisers. (6) Do Not Track (DNT) - Enable in browser settings; we honor DNT signals by disabling non-essential tracking. Important: Opting out of advertising cookies means you'll still see ads (which keep our service free), but they won't be personalized to your interests. Essential cookies for file conversion functionality cannot be opted out as they're necessary for the service to work.
  • Mobile Device Cookie Management: Mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) running iOS, Android, or other operating systems also allow you to control cookies through system-level settings and individual browser settings. Cookie management on mobile devices works differently than desktop browsers: (1) Each mobile browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet) has its own cookie settings, (2) Some operating systems provide system-wide privacy controls affecting all browsers, (3) Mobile browsers often sync cookie settings with your desktop browser if you're signed in to the same account. For iOS (iPhone/iPad): Settings app → Safari → Block All Cookies or Advanced → Website Data to view/delete individual cookies. For Android: Chrome browser → Settings → Site Settings → Cookies; Firefox browser → Settings → Privacy → Cookies → Clear private data. Mobile browsers typically offer 'Private' or 'Incognito' modes that don't save cookies after closing. Note that blocking cookies on mobile may affect app functionality if apps use embedded web views. For our file conversion service, essential cookies are required for file uploads and downloads to work properly on mobile devices.

Understanding Our Cookie Usage: This comprehensive Cookie Policy explains how File Converter Free uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us provide, protect, and improve our file conversion services. This policy details what types of cookies we use, why we use them, what data they collect, how long they're stored, and how you can control them. We believe in complete transparency about data collection practices, especially regarding advertising cookies that fund our free service. By understanding our cookie usage, you can make informed decisions about your privacy preferences. We're committed to GDPR compliance and giving you full control over optional cookies while clearly explaining which cookies are essential for the service to function.
