Cookie policy

Updated October 31, 2026

In short
  • Three essential cookies run the free allowance and sign-in. Without them the service does not work.
  • Your document history is kept in your browser's storage, with you only.
  • The measurement tools see which pages were viewed, not your documents. You can turn them off here.

Essential cookies

These cookies are set by our server. They are cryptographically signed, cannot be read by scripts on the page, and are only sent over an encrypted connection.

The measurement tools see which pages were viewed and how you reached them. They do not receive the content of your documents, the extracted text or file names. What each tool collects is set out in the privacy policy.

Outside services

  • Payment happens on Stripe's site, which sets its own cookies on its own domain.
  • If an "I'm not a robot" check appears, it comes from Cloudflare.

Turning off the measurement tools

With the choice below you can turn off Google Analytics and our visit-measurement system. The choice is saved in this browser. You can also block cookies in your browser settings, but blocking the essential cookies stops the free allowance and sign-in.

Measurement tools in this browser

You have not chosen yet. By default, in the EEA and the UK Google Analytics stores no cookies; elsewhere measurement is on.
