Cookie Policy

Last Updated: October 2026 • Effective Date: October 25, 2026

This Cookie Policy describes how UConvert (uconvert.org) uses cookies, local web storage, and related browser technologies. We believe in total transparency regarding how data is used to optimize your experience and sustain our free service.

What Are Cookies & Web Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember user preferences, and provide analytical data to website owners. In modern web applications, client-side technologies like HTML5 localStorage are also used for local preferences without communicating with remote servers.

Categories of Cookies We Use

1. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies

Always Active

These cookies and tokens are required for core website functionality, security protocols, load balancing, and anti-abuse mechanisms. Without these technologies, the conversion pipeline cannot securely process your requests.

CSRF protection tokens

Rate-limiting counters

Cloudflare security headers

2. Functional & Preference Storage

User Controlled

These elements enable our website to remember choices you make across visits to provide an enhanced, customized interface.

uconvert_theme: Saves your Dark/Light mode visual preference.

uconvert_locale: Remembers your selected language (e.g., English, Spanish, French, Arabic).

3. Advertising & Google AdSense Cookies

Third-Party

UConvert displays ads served by Google AdSense and its programmatic ad partners to subsidize cloud computing expenses and maintain free service. Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Advertising cookies help ensure you do not see the same ad repeatedly, detect click fraud, and present promotions relevant to your interests.
