This Cookie Policy explains how PDFMagik uses cookies and similar technologies on pdfmagik.com. We are a solo‑operated service. For privacy details, see our Privacy Policy. This page works together with our consent banner (on /privacy) and Consent Mode so that analytics runs only when you allow it.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They can be necessary for the site to function, or optional (e.g., analytics). We also use local storage to remember your consent choice.
How we use cookies
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site secure and working (rate‑limit, CSRF/session if applicable), and route traffic. | Essential app/session cookies, load‑balancing, security tokens. | Session or short‑lived; removed when you close your browser or after a short period. |
| Analytics (optional) | Measure aggregate usage to improve tools and performance. Runs only if you accept analytics. | Google Analytics (GA4) events: page_view, file_download, basic engagement. | Retention controlled by Google Analytics; we keep property data retention at 2 months for event data within GA4. |
| Local storage (consent) | Remember whether you allowed analytics, so we don't ask every visit. | Key: pdfmagik_consent_v1 with value "yes" or "no". |
Until you clear site data or change your choice. |
