1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
Similar technologies include web storage (localStorage / sessionStorage) and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as “cookies.”
2. Your Consent
When you visit oMyPDF for the first time, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. It gives you two clear choices:
- Accept analytics — essential cookies are set, and Google Analytics is enabled so we can understand how the Service is used in aggregate. Your IP address is anonymised before any data is sent to Google.
- Essential only — only the strictly necessary cookies listed in §3 are set. Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics data is collected from your visit.
Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key omypdf_cookie_consent for up to 12 months. You can change your choice at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page. Changing your choice takes effect on the next page load.
We never use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not share your data with advertising networks.
3. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (always active)
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled because without them, core features such as authentication and security protection would not work.
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| auth-token | Keeps you logged in to your oMyPDF account during your session. | omypdf.com |
| csrf-token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks. | omypdf.com |
| theme / prefs | Remembers your display preferences (if any) between visits. | omypdf.com |
Analytics Cookies (require your consent)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Service in aggregate — which tools are most used, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the Service. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent.
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Distinguish unique users and sessions (Google Analytics). Expires after 2 years. | omypdf.com |
| _gid | Distinguish users within a 24-hour window (Google Analytics). Expires after 24 hours. | omypdf.com |
We use IP anonymisation — your full IP address is never stored by Google Analytics. Data is aggregated and we cannot use it to identify individual users.
Advertising Cookies
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not run ads on oMyPDF and do not share your browsing behaviour with ad networks.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party services integrated into oMyPDF may set their own cookies. These are governed by each provider's own cookie and privacy policies:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Security and performance cookies (rate limiting, bot detection) | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
| Google Analytics | Analytics cookies set only with your consent | policies.google.com/privacy |
