Cookies & Similar Technologies

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar identifiers that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website recognize your browser, maintain a session, remember preferences and provide certain functionality.

We also use the term "similar technologies" for technologies that perform functions comparable to cookies, such as certain browser storage mechanisms or identifiers.

2. How iMakePDF Uses Cookies

iMakePDF may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:

• keeping users securely signed in;
• maintaining authentication sessions;
• protecting accounts and preventing abuse;
• remembering necessary service preferences;
• supporting website functionality;
• maintaining security and service reliability;
• understanding service performance; and
• improving the user experience.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the website or a requested feature to function. These cookies may be used without additional consent where permitted by applicable law because they are necessary to provide a service requested by you.

Authentication cookies

When you sign in to an iMakePDF account, we may use an authentication session cookie to keep you signed in while navigating the website.

Without this type of cookie, account-based features may not function correctly.

Security cookies

Security-related cookies or identifiers may be used to detect suspicious activity, protect accounts and help prevent abuse of our services.

4. Functional Technologies

We may use cookies or browser storage to remember information necessary for features you request or to improve the usability of the website.

The exact technologies used may change as the website and its features evolve.

5. Analytics and Measurement

Where analytics or measurement technologies are enabled, iMakePDF may use them to understand how visitors interact with the website, identify technical problems, measure performance and improve our services.

Such technologies may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate usage patterns, device or browser information, timestamps and other technical information.

We will apply applicable consent requirements to non-essential analytics technologies where required by law.

6. Advertising and Marketing Technologies

iMakePDF may introduce advertising, marketing or conversion measurement technologies in the future. If such technologies are used, they may involve cookies or similar identifiers provided by third parties.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential advertising or marketing technologies will only be used after obtaining the required consent.

The specific third-party services active on the website may change over time. This policy may be updated when material changes occur.

7. Third-Party Services

Some services integrated into iMakePDF may place or access their own cookies or similar technologies. These services may include providers involved in hosting, security, authentication, payments, analytics, communications or other website functionality.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not control every cookie or technology that an independent third-party provider may use. Users should review the relevant third party's privacy documentation where appropriate.

8. Managing Cookies

Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, delete or otherwise manage cookies through their settings.

You can generally find cookie controls in the privacy or security settings of your browser.

If you block or delete necessary cookies, certain iMakePDF features may stop working correctly. In particular, account-related features may require authentication cookies.

9. Cookie Consent

Where applicable law requires consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies, iMakePDF will seek consent through an appropriate mechanism.

Where a consent mechanism is provided, you may be able to change your preferences after your initial choice.

Necessary cookies may continue to operate where they are required to provide a service you have requested or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

10. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session cookies are generally removed when the browsing session ends, while persistent cookies may remain for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and, where applicable, the third-party service that provides it.

11. Authentication and Account Cookies

When you sign in, iMakePDF may place an authentication cookie associated with your account session.

This cookie may contain or reference a randomly generated session identifier. It is used to associate requests from your browser with your authenticated account.

Authentication cookies are intended to be protected from unnecessary access by browser-side scripts and are transmitted using security controls appropriate to the application.

12. Cookies and Free PRO Promotions

iMakePDF may use browser or account information to help maintain the state of promotional features, prevent abuse and determine whether a user is eligible for a particular promotional campaign.

Promotional eligibility may also be associated with your authenticated account where the campaign requires you to sign in or create an account.

13. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" or similar signal. Because there is currently no universally consistent technical standard for interpreting such signals across all services, iMakePDF may not respond to every such signal in the same way.

Where applicable law requires a particular response to browser privacy signals, we will follow the applicable requirements.

14. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our technology, services, third-party providers or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on this page together with the applicable update date.

15. Privacy Policy

Cookies are only one part of how information may be processed by iMakePDF. For more information about personal information, uploaded documents, security, retention and privacy rights, please review our Privacy Policy.
