1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how PDFNeo uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. As a privacy-first service, we minimize the use of cookies and do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be:

• First-party cookies — set by the website you are visiting
• Third-party cookies — set by a different domain than the one you are visiting
• Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them

3. Cookies PDFNeo Does NOT Use

We want to be explicit about what we do not do:

• We do not use tracking cookies to follow your browsing behavior
• We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting cookies
• We do not use cookies to build user profiles or collect personal data
• We do not share cookie data with third-party advertisers
• We do not use social media tracking cookies

4. Cookies That May Be Used

4.1 Technical Cookies (First-Party)

We may use minimal technical cookies that are essential for the website to function properly:

• Language preference — to remember your language choice (English or Chinese) between visits

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled without affecting your experience.

4.2 CDN Cookies (Third-Party)

Our website loads JavaScript libraries from third-party CDNs (such as unpkg.com) to enable PDF processing in your browser. These CDN providers may set their own cookies as part of their standard operations. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the CDN provider's privacy policy for more details.

4.3 Hosting Provider Cookies (Third-Party)

Our hosting provider may set technical cookies as part of serving the website, such as load balancing or security cookies (e.g., DDoS protection). These are standard operational cookies and are not under our direct control.
