Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 1, 2026
This page lists every cookie My PDF sets — no more, no less. We keep the list this short on purpose.
Cookies We Set
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| mypdf_sid | Maintains your session so security features like CSRF protection and upload rate limiting work correctly. | Strictly necessary | Session (expires when the browser closes, or after 2 hour(s) of inactivity) |
What We Don't Use
- No advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
- No cross-site analytics cookies.
- No cookie is used to identify you personally or build a profile of your visits.
Your light/dark theme preference is saved in your browser's local storage, not a cookie — it never leaves your device and isn't sent to our servers.
Managing Cookies
Because the only cookie we set is strictly necessary for the site's security features to function, blocking it may prevent tools from working correctly (for example, form submissions may fail a security check). You can still clear or block it through your browser's settings at any time.
Future Consent System
Analytics and advertising are both currently disabled sitewide. If either is ever switched on, a proper consent banner will be introduced at the same time, asking for your permission before any non-essential cookie is set — not after the fact. Until that happens, no consent prompt appears because no non-essential cookie exists to consent to.
Changes to This Policy
If analytics or advertising cookies are ever added to this site, this page will be updated to list them individually before they go live — not after.
