What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, like your login status and preferences. This makes your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Our Approach
SharePDF only uses essential and preference cookies. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, and our preference cookies remember your display settings. We do not use any advertising or third-party tracking cookies. For website analytics, we use Umami – a privacy-focused tool that does not set any cookies.

XSRF-TOKEN | Protects against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. This is a security measure. | 2 hours | Essential |

What We Don't Use
- No advertising cookies – we don't show ads, so there's nothing to track.
- No analytics cookies – no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no tracking cookies. We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not set any cookies or track individual users.
- No social media cookies – no embedded social widgets that track your browsing.
