The fewest cookies we can get away with
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They let the site remember things between visits — like whether you're logged in, what language you picked, or which pages you've seen before. Some cookies expire when you close your browser; others stick around for longer.
Cookies we use
We group the cookies DukPdf sets into three categories. For each, we explain what it does, how long it lasts, and whether it's optional.
Session cookies
Keep you logged in during your visit. Required for signing in and using account settings.
Duration: session (cleared when you close your browser) • Essential
Preference cookies
Remember your language, theme, and other UI settings so you don't have to pick them every time you visit.
Duration: up to 1 year • Optional (disabling just means you'll reset preferences each visit)
Analytics cookies
Aggregated, anonymous page-visit data — which pages are most useful, what devices people use. No personal information. No file content.
Duration: up to 2 years • Optional
Third-party cookies
The only third-party cookies DukPdf uses are set by our analytics provider, and they collect anonymous aggregate data only. We do not use:
- Advertising cookies or ad-tracking pixels.
- Cross-site tracking cookies that follow you around the web.
- Social-media embed cookies (we don't embed Facebook/Twitter widgets).
Disabling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings — each browser calls this something slightly different (“Privacy”, “Tracking”, “Site data”). Disabling cookies will not stop DukPdf from processing your files, because file processing is local and doesn't touch cookies. It will affect:
- Staying logged in — you'll need to log in more often.
- Remembering preferences — language/theme will reset each visit.
- Analytics — we'll stop seeing your visits (which is fine with us; it's anonymous anyway).
Changes to this policy
If we add, remove, or change the cookies we use, we'll update this page and the “Last updated” date at the top. For material changes, we'll notify account holders by email.
