Cookie policy
Which cookies are used and what is kept in your browser
The short answer
This site does not currently place cookies in your browser. That is why you see no consent banner when you open a page: there is nothing to consent to.
There is no sign-in, no membership, no basket and no form on the site, so there is no state for a cookie to carry. The converters are ready the moment the page loads; they do not need to recognise you.
The page exists anyway, because the sentence "no cookies are used" has to be written down somewhere and the reason explained. If that changes, it is written here first.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a site leaves in your browser. The browser stores it and sends it back with every request to that site, which is how the site recognises you from a previous visit. A shopping basket surviving across tabs, or staying signed in after one login, both work through this mechanism.
The same property is used for measurement and advertising: if one ad network's cookie is present on many sites, your browsing can be joined up across them. That is the actual subject of the cookie debate — not remembering a basket, but carrying a persistent identity.
Why the visit counter uses no cookies
A visit counter called GoatCounter is used to see which converters are worth keeping. GoatCounter is deliberately built without cookies: it gives visitors no persistent identifier and leaves no trace in your browser.
To tell two page views by the same visitor apart, a temporary signature is derived from your IP address and browser details; that signature is discarded shortly after and your IP address is not stored. What comes out is at the level of "this page was viewed this many times", not a profile of a person.
What the counter records, where the data is processed and what rights you have are set out in detail on the privacy page.

What is kept in your browser?
The site does not use your browser's persistent storage (localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB) to work. Even the options you pick are gone once you close the page.
The files you convert stay in the browser's temporary memory only while the page is open. Closing or reloading the tab clears them; the only thing written to disk is the output file you save yourself by pressing download.
Beyond that, your browser's own cache is in play: style and script files are kept to make the next page load faster. That is not a cookie, it carries no identity, and it can be cleared from your browser settings.
What changes if advertising is added?
There are no adverts on the site today. If Google AdSense adverts are introduced later the situation changes, because ad networks use cookies and similar technologies — and on that day this page is rewritten.
Before any advert goes live: a section naming which network processes which data will be added here, a consent screen (CMP) will be set up for visitors from the European Union and the United Kingdom, and no personalised advertising will be shown unless you have consented.
The ads.txt file at the root of the site is already published. It is only a text list verifying who is authorised to sell advertising space; it places nothing in your browser and adds no script to the page.
Managing cookies in your browser
Even though there is no cookie here to block, your browser gives you control over which sites may set one. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, the privacy section of the settings lets you delete existing cookies and turn off third-party cookies entirely.
If you see anything that suggests this site has started using cookies, write through the contact page; it will be looked into and this page corrected.
