Cookie Overview

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and analyzing how you use our service.

We use both first-party cookies (set by PDFVista) and third-party cookies (set by our service providers) to enhance functionality and gather analytics.

Essential Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

Examples include authentication cookies, load balancing cookies, and cookies that remember your cookie preferences.

Functional Cookies

Preference and Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.

Examples include language preferences, theme settings, and document viewing preferences such as zoom level and page layout.

Analytics Cookies

Performance and Analytics Tracking

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our service by identifying popular features and areas that need enhancement.

These cookies collect information anonymously and report website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of these cookies through our cookie banner.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. These cookies are only used with your explicit consent.

We may use these cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to personalize marketing content.

Third-Party Cookies

External Service Provider Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to the respective third party's privacy policies.

Third-party services we use include analytics providers, payment processors, and customer support tools, each with their own cookie policies.

Cookie Management

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

All modern browsers provide options to manage cookies. You can typically find these settings in your browser's privacy or security section. You can choose to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies.

Data Retention

How Long Cookies Are Stored

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

Our cookies typically expire after 30 days to 2 years, depending on their purpose. Analytics cookies generally have shorter lifespans than preference cookies.

Cookie Categories

Detailed Cookie Classification

We classify our cookies into four main categories: Strictly Necessary (always active), Functional (enhance user experience), Analytics (measure performance), and Marketing (personalized advertising).

Each category serves a specific purpose, and you can choose which categories to allow except for strictly necessary cookies which are required for basic functionality.
