Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 3, 2026. This page explains what cookies and similar technologies Converty uses today and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and — in the case of advertising partners — deliver and measure ads.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. Converty keeps conversion queue state in browser memory for your current session; it is not written to persistent storage for standard use.
Cookies we use
Technical / security
Converty does not require login cookies. Our backend may use request metadata such as your IP address for rate limiting and abuse prevention. This is handled at the server level rather than through a persistent first-party cookie on your device.
Advertising preference
When using our native consent banner, your choice is stored in browser local storage under the key converty-ad-consent until you clear it or change your preference via the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer.
Advertising cookies
When advertising is enabled in production, we serve ads through Google AdSense. Google may set cookies or use similar technologies to deliver ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure ad performance.
In production, a consent banner appears before AdSense loads. If you reject advertising cookies, placeholder ads are shown instead and the AdSense script is not loaded.
In local development, placeholder ads are shown instead. They do not load the AdSense script or set advertising cookies.
We do not use the contents of files you convert to personalize advertising.
Analytics
When configured in production, Converty may load Plausible Analytics. Plausible's default script is cookieless and collects only aggregate usage data (page views, referrers, devices). It does not receive file contents.
If analytics is not configured, no analytics script is loaded.
What we do not use cookies for
- Tracking your file uploads across other websites
- Building advertising profiles from the contents of files you convert
- Selling cookie data to third-party data brokers
- Requiring login or persistent account cookies for standard conversions
Third-party cookies
Third parties may set cookies when their services are loaded. Currently this applies mainly to advertising:
| Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense | Deliver and measure banner and interstitial advertisements | Varies — set by Google; see Google's cookie documentation |
| Hosting / CDN provider | Load balancing, caching, and DDoS protection | Session or short-lived technical cookies |
Google processes data under its own Privacy Policy. Third-party providers do not receive the contents of files you upload for conversion.
Managing cookies
You can reopen your advertising cookie choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer. When a certified consent management platform (CMP) is configured, that link opens the CMP interface instead.
Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit third-party cookies through their settings. Blocking advertising cookies may not remove ads entirely, but may reduce personalization.
Google provides an Ads Settings page where you can manage how Google shows you ads. You can also use industry opt-out tools where available in your region.
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights regarding non-essential cookies under applicable law. Contact us at privacy@converty.us with questions about your choices.
