1. Overview of Browser Storage Technologies
File2File is designed to minimize tracking. We use modern client-side storage technologies strictly to preserve user preferences and ensure smooth application functionality.
2. Storage Types and Functional Classification
| Category | Storage Key / Technology | Purpose & Data Stored |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary and Functional Storage | file2file_theme, file2file_locale (localStorage) | We store user preferences locally in your browser (localStorage) using file2file_theme (light or dark appearance) and file2file_locale (active language selection). These contain no personal identifiers. |
| Third-Party Advertising Cookies | __gads, __gpi (Google AdSense) | When display advertising is active, Google AdSense and certified vendors may set session cookies (such as __gads or __gpi) for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention. |
3. Zero Tracking of File Content
Files uploaded for conversion are held strictly in temporary browser memory and are never written to cookies, persistent storage, or tracking databases.
4. Managing and Disabling Storage
You can manage, inspect, or delete cookies and site data at any time via your browser settings in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or Brave. Disabling cookies will not impair local file conversions, though theme or language preferences may reset between visits.
