Cookies

01In short#

PinchPDF uses only the cookies it needs to work. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies and no third-party tracking. Because every cookie below is essential, we do not ask for consent; this page and the small notice at the bottom of the page are there so you know.

02Cookies#

• did · Essential · 12 months · Identifies this browser so your free runs and credits stay with you. A random token with no personal information.
• sid · Essential · 30 days · Keeps you signed in. Only set after you sign in with Google.
• gp_locale · Essential · 12 months · Remembers your language.
• gonpdf_ref · Essential · 30 days · Only if you arrive through a partner link: keeps the partner’s code so the referral can be counted.
• pp_consent · Essential · 12 months · Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice.

03Browser storage#

These are kept in your browser (local storage) and are never sent to advertisers.

• gonpdf-theme · Light or dark mode.
• gonpdf-local-id · A random ID that helps restore your credits in this browser.
• gonpdf-had-balance, pinch-pricing-market · Small display preferences.
• pinch-return-to · Lasts for the visit only: takes you back to your file after a payment.

04Browser fingerprint ID#

To limit abuse of the free tier we also keep a technical browser fingerprint ID (a hash, not a cookie) for 30 days after your last visit. It only counts free runs and never opens a wallet. See the Privacy policy for details.

05Your choices#

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the essential ones may stop free runs, credits or sign-in from working.

Use “Cookie settings” in the footer to see the notice again.
