1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as preferences, session status, consent choices, and site usage.

We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and scripts. In this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

2. How BintoroSoft uses cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, improve user experience, understand website performance, remember preferences, support consent choices, and display ads where advertising is enabled.

3. Browser-based PDF tools and local storage

BintoroSoft PDF Tools are designed to process files locally in your browser whenever possible. Some tools may use browser memory or local browser storage to support tool functionality, preserve temporary settings, or improve the user experience.

In normal browser-based operation, your selected PDF files and images are not intentionally uploaded to our server for processing.

4. Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. These may support security, page navigation, consent preferences, spam prevention, and basic technical operations.

Because these cookies are required for the website to work, they usually cannot be disabled through our website controls. You may still block them through your browser settings, but some parts of the website may not work correctly.

5. Analytics cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. Analytics information can include pages visited, approximate location, browser type, device type, referring pages, and interaction data.

Where required by law, analytics cookies or similar technologies will only be used based on your consent.

6. Advertising cookies and Google AdSense

We may use Google AdSense or other advertising partners to display ads on our website. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this website and/or other websites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/

You can also learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use Google services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

7. Consent messages for certain regions

For visitors in regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and certain U.S. states, we may display a consent message or cookie banner.

The consent message may allow you to accept, reject, or customize cookie and advertising choices. Your choices may be stored so that we can respect them on future visits.

If we use Google advertising services for users in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we may use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform where required.

8. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that appear on our website, such as advertising, analytics, security, embedded content, or performance tools.

Third-party services have their own privacy and cookie practices. We recommend reviewing the policies of any third-party services you interact with.

9. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You may be able to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive alerts when cookies are being set.

Common browser cookie settings can usually be found in the privacy or security section of your browser. If you disable cookies, some website features may not work correctly.

10. Changing your consent choices

Where a consent banner or privacy settings link is available on the website, you can use it to update your choices. You may also clear cookies in your browser to reset stored consent choices.

If you cannot find a consent settings link, you can contact us using the email address below.

11. Do Not Track and browser signals

Some browsers may send “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because there is no single industry standard for responding to these signals, our website may not respond to all such signals automatically.

Where required by applicable law or supported by our consent tools, we will respect legally recognized opt-out or consent signals.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we update it, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
