1. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file (a few kilobytes) placed on your device by a website. Cookies allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language or consent choice) over time, so you don't have to re-enter them every visit. Some cookies are set by the site you're visiting ("first-party"); others by third-party services embedded on the page (e.g. CDNs, analytics).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
PDFExpert.Coupons uses a deliberately small set of cookies, grouped into three categories:
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (security, basic navigation). Cannot be disabled.
- Functional — remember your consent choice and minor UI preferences (e.g. dismissing the sticky banner).
- Analytics (optional) — anonymised page-view counting. Only loaded after explicit consent.
We do not use targeting/advertising cookies. We do not run third-party programmatic ads.

4. Third-Party Cookies
When you click an affiliate link to Readdle, Foxit, or another merchant, that site may set its own cookies on your device. Those cookies are governed entirely by the destination site's privacy policy — we have no access to them. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Likewise, Google Fonts and the jsDelivr CDN may load with their own connection cookies. These are limited to delivering fonts and icon assets — no tracking is performed by our use of these services.
5. Your Consent
By continuing to use this site, you consent to the use of strictly necessary and functional cookies described above. Optional analytics cookies are only loaded after you click "Accept" on our consent banner (where applicable in your jurisdiction).
You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies for pdfexpert.coupons.
6. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
All major browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies. Here are the help pages:
Note: blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break parts of the site (e.g. the consent banner will reappear on every page).
7. Do Not Track
Our site honours the browser-level Do Not Track (DNT) signal and the newer Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends either header, we will not load optional analytics cookies regardless of your consent banner choice.
8. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
