Essential cookies support functions required for the website to operate properly or securely. Some essential cookies may be necessary even when a user does not consent to optional advertising or analytics cookies, where permitted by applicable law.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may remember choices you make while using PDF Mentor, such as language preferences, display settings, consent choices, or other website preferences.

Analytics or performance cookies may help us understand how visitors use PDF Mentor. Information may include pages visited, time spent on pages, referring sources, device type, browser type, general website interactions, performance information, and technical errors.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used by Google AdSense and other advertising partners to support ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency control, aggregated reporting, personalized advertising where permitted, and non personalized advertising.

5. Google AdSense

PDF Mentor may use Google AdSense to display advertisements.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with advertisements shown on PDF Mentor.

Google advertising technologies may process information such as browser information, device information, IP addresses, cookies, advertising identifiers, and website activity.

Depending on your location, consent choices, and applicable laws, Google may use this information for personalized or non personalized advertising.

Google Advertising Technologies: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/

6. Personalized Advertising

Personalized advertisements may use information about interests, previous website visits, or other permitted activity to select advertisements that may be more relevant to a user.

Whether personalized advertisements are available depends on your country or region, consent choices, Google advertising settings, applicable privacy laws, and PDF Mentor's advertising configuration.

7. Non Personalized Advertising

Non personalized advertisements are not selected based on a user's past behavior in the same way as personalized advertisements.

They may instead use contextual information such as the content of the current page, general location, or current search context.

Non personalized advertising may still use cookies or identifiers for purposes such as frequency capping and aggregated advertising reporting.

8. Google Analytics

PDF Mentor may use Google Analytics or similar analytics services to better understand general website usage and performance.

Analytics technologies may process information such as browser type, device type, approximate location, IP related information, pages visited, traffic sources, website interactions, visit duration, and technical performance information.

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies may only be activated after appropriate user consent.

9. Third Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies used on PDF Mentor may be provided by third party services.

1. Google AdSense
2. Google Analytics
3. Hosting providers
4. Security providers
5. Content delivery networks
6. Performance monitoring services
7. Consent management services
8. Other technology providers

PDF Mentor does not directly control cookies placed by independent third parties. Third party providers process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

10. Consent Management

Where required by law, PDF Mentor may display a cookie or privacy consent message before certain optional technologies are used.

Depending on your region, the consent interface may allow you to:

1. Accept certain uses

4. Review advertising partners
5. Change previously selected choices

PDF Mentor may display a consent interface to eligible visitors before applicable advertising or analytics technologies are activated.

Consent requirements may apply to cookies, local storage, certain advertising technologies, and certain uses of personal data for advertising personalization.

12. United States Privacy Choices

Some US states provide users with additional privacy rights concerning targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or certain uses of personal information.

Where applicable, PDF Mentor may provide privacy choices or consent controls appropriate to the user's location.

14. Changing Your Cookie Preferences

Where PDF Mentor provides a consent management interface, you may be able to reopen that interface and change your privacy or advertising preferences.

The method available may depend on the consent platform being used and your country or region.

Changing preferences does not necessarily delete cookies already stored in your browser. You may need to remove those separately using your browser settings.

15. Cookie Duration

Session Cookies

Session cookies normally remain available only during the current browser session and may be deleted when the browser is closed.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies can remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them.

The exact duration depends on the cookie, provider, purpose, and configuration. Third party services determine the retention periods for cookies they control.

16. Browser Based PDF Processing and Cookies

Cookies used by PDF Mentor are separate from the contents of PDF or image files processed locally inside the browser.

Where a tool performs local browser processing, advertising or analytics cookies do not mean that the contents of your selected document are automatically uploaded to PDF Mentor for processing.

File handling is explained separately in our Privacy Policy and Security Policy.

17. Do Cookies Contain My PDF Files?

No.

Normal website cookies are small pieces of browser data and are not designed to contain complete PDF documents or image files.

Files processed locally by PDF Mentor tools are handled separately from normal website cookies.

Temporary browser memory or storage may still be used by certain tools while processing a file.

18. Advertising and PDF Content

PDF Mentor does not intentionally use the contents of locally processed PDF or image files to personalize advertisements.

Advertising providers may process website related technical or advertising information according to their own policies and the consent choices available to you.

For more information, review the PDF Mentor Privacy Policy.

19. Cookie Security

Cookies themselves can serve different purposes and may contain identifiers or preferences.

PDF Mentor aims to use reasonable website security practices, but no browser, website, cookie technology, network, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should keep their browsers updated and use trusted devices when accessing websites or handling sensitive documents.

20. Children's Privacy and Cookies

PDF Mentor is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly design advertising or analytics practices specifically to collect personal information from children under 13 through our general services.

Additional protections may apply depending on the user's country, age, and applicable law.

21. External Websites

PDF Mentor may contain links to third party websites.

Once you leave PDF Mentor, that website may use its own cookies and tracking technologies.

PDF Mentor does not control cookies, privacy practices, or data handling on independent third party websites.

22. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

Updates may be necessary because of changes to PDF Mentor features, advertising services, analytics providers, consent technologies, privacy laws, Google policies, website infrastructure, or other operational or technical changes.
