Cookie Policy & Storage Disclosures

At MergePDFFilesFree.com, we believe in radical transparency regarding how cookies, web beacons, and local browser storage are utilized. This document outlines the types of cookies used on our website, how third-party advertising partners operate, and how your documents remain 100% isolated.

1. Absolute Document Isolation (No Cookies for Files)

We explicitly guarantee that no cookies, web beacons, or tracking pixels ever touch, inspect, or log your PDF documents or images. All document manipulation runs exclusively in local browser RAM via WebAssembly. Neither our scripts nor any third-party script can access in-memory document data.

2. First-Party Technical Preferences

We use minimal first-party browser storage (such as localStorage or session cookies) exclusively for user convenience:

• Language Choice: Remembering your chosen language across page transitions.
• UI Layout State: Remembering collapsed or expanded states of the navigation dock.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

To keep all 24 professional PDF utilities 100% free with no subscription fees, we display advertisements provided by Google AdSense and certified third-party ad networks.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, 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 it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. Managing & Disabling Cookies

You can control or delete cookies directly within your web browser settings at any time (e.g. Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data). Disabling third-party cookies will not impair your ability to merge, split, or compress your documents on MergePDFFilesFree.
