1. What Are Cookies

As is standard practice across modern professional web platforms, PDFscaler utilizes small cookie files and local browser storage to streamline layouts, log visual state configurations, and serve non-intrusive advertisements.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and HTML5 local storage strictly for the layout preferences and advertisement targeting details listed below. Disabling these preferences will not break our client-side file editing capabilities.

3. Essential Cookies

We establish simple, clientside parameters to save your visual theme selection (Dark or Light layout preference) and to record whether you have clicked to accept our cookie disclosures. These do not store any personal identity details.

4. Analytics & Advertising Cookies

To fund the continued research and free deployment of our client-side software, we serve Google AdSense advertisements on our site. Google uses AdSense cookies (specifically the DART cookie) to deliver targeted ads based on your visiting history here and elsewhere on the web.

5. Browser Storage Usage

Unlike cookies, HTML5 local storage properties reside completely inside your computer and are never transferred over network protocols. We use local storage variables (such as contact_tickets) to safely archive draft operations and simulated ticketing items completely privately on your device.

6. Managing Cookies

You can prevent cookies from downloading by configuring your web browser's tracking and preference settings (consult your browser Help menu for step-by-step guidelines). Keep in mind that blocking cookies can affect layout performance and memory retention across other web domains.
