Cookie Policy

How cookies and browser storage may be used

This policy explains cookies, local browser storage, analytics, advertising, and user controls for Convert My Docs.

What cookies are

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website or third-party service may store in your browser. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels, scripts, device identifiers, and browser cache. They can help a website work, remember preferences, measure usage, serve ads, or protect against abuse.

Convert My Docs is designed to work without requiring a user account. That means the core tools do not need login cookies for ordinary use. However, some features, hosting systems, analytics providers, advertising providers, and browser-based tool features may still use cookies or browser storage.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. The goal is to explain what may happen in plain language so users understand how tools such as Image to Text, PDF to Text, PDF to Word, Word to PDF, Image to PDF, and CV Builder can operate on a modern website.

Essential browser behavior

Some browser behavior is necessary for the site to work. When you open a page, your browser downloads HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and static assets. Next.js and Vercel may use technical mechanisms to serve pages, cache static assets, route requests, and keep the website fast. These processes are part of normal website operation.

The document tools also use browser capabilities. For example, Image to Text uses browser-side JavaScript to run OCR, Image to PDF uses browser-side file handling to preview and convert images, and CV Builder can store CV data locally if the user chooses to save.

Local storage for CV Builder

The CV Builder may use local browser storage when a user chooses to save a CV locally. This is intended to help users return to their draft without creating an account. Local save means the data is stored in the user's browser on the user's device, not in a Convert My Docs user account.

CV information can include personal details, contact details, work experience, education, skills, languages, certifications, achievements, professional memberships, references, and optional profile photo information. Because CVs contain personal information, users should only save locally on devices they trust.

Users can clear saved CV data inside the tool when that option is available, or through browser settings that clear site data, local storage, cookies, or browsing data. Clearing browser data may remove saved CV drafts.

Analytics cookies and scripts

Convert My Docs includes optional support for Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. If enabled, these tools may use cookies or similar technologies to understand page visits, user interaction, device types, approximate location signals, referral sources, and technical errors. Analytics helps improve pages such as PDF to Text, PDF to Word, and Word to PDF by showing which workflows need clearer instructions or better error handling.

Analytics is not intended to read the contents of uploaded files. It is used to understand website usage and performance. Users can control many analytics cookies through browser settings, privacy extensions, and any controls offered by the analytics provider.

Google AdSense cookies

Convert My Docs may display Google AdSense ads. When AdSense is enabled, Google may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, prevent invalid activity, limit frequency, and personalize ads where applicable. Ad areas are labeled as advertisements.

AdSense ads may be based on the page content, general signals, previous ad interactions, or settings controlled by Google and the user. Convert My Docs does not choose every ad a visitor sees and does not treat advertisements as endorsements of an advertiser, product, service, or claim.

Users can manage advertising personalization and cookies through browser settings and Google ad settings where available. Blocking advertising cookies may change which ads appear or whether ads load, but the main document tools are intended to remain accessible.

Managing cookies

Browser controls

Most browsers let users delete cookies, block third-party cookies, clear site data, manage local storage, or use private browsing modes. The exact steps depend on the browser. Clearing cookies or site data may remove saved preferences, local CV drafts, or other browser-held data.

Privacy extensions and device settings

Some users choose privacy extensions, ad blockers, tracking protection, or device-level privacy settings. These tools may block analytics, advertising, or scripts used by parts of the site. If a tool fails to load, a strict extension may be one possible reason.
