How PDF Workspace uses cookies and similar browser storage, and how you can control them. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Sites also use similar technologies — local storage and session storage — to remember things on your device. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.
Strictly Necessary
These make the site work. Without them you couldn't stay signed in or keep your guest files.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
pdfworkspace-auth | Local storage | Keeps you signed in (your session token and basic profile). | Until you sign out |
pdfworkspace-guest | Local storage | A random guest session ID so files you upload without an account stay linked to you. | Until you clear browser data |
| Firebase Authentication storage | Local storage / IndexedDB (Google Firebase) | Used when you sign in with Google. | Until you sign out |
| Razorpay checkout cookies | Third-party cookies (Razorpay) | Set only on the payment screen, to process a payment securely. | Set by Razorpay — see Razorpay's privacy policy |
Preferences
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
googtrans | Cookie (Google Translate) | Remembers the language you picked in the language switcher. | Until cleared |
pdfworkspace-color-theme | Local storage | Remembers your display theme. | Until cleared |
Analytics
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_<ID> | Cookies (Google Analytics 4) | Count visits and see which pages and tools are used, in aggregate. | Up to 2 years (Google's default) |
_pp_sid | Session storage | A random ID that groups the product events of one visit (for example "tool opened"). | Until you close the tab |
_pp_landed | Session storage | Marks that this visit's first page was recorded, so the page you arrived on (and any utm_source tag in its link) is counted once. | Until you close the tab |
Advertising
Some pages show ads. Ad partners may set their own cookies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure ad performance.
