Last updated: June 8, 2026

At ZestPDF, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website (https://zestpdf.com), and your choices regarding cookie management.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

First-Party Cookies: Set directly by ZestPDF to enable core features like language translation preferences and user interface choices.

Third-Party Cookies: Set by partners and service providers (such as Google AdSense and Google Analytics) to deliver advertising and analyze traffic.

2. How ZestPDF Uses Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience, serve relevant ads, and analyze our site traffic. The cookies we use fall into three main categories:

### A. Essential and Functional Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Language Preference: Remembers your chosen locale (e.g., English, Spanish, Japanese) to serve the correct localized page.

Theme Settings: Remembers your preference for light or dark mode theme.

Favorites: Stores your list of favorite PDF tools so you can access them quickly.

### B. Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

Google Analytics: Collects anonymous information about site usage. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore completely anonymous.

### C. Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners, such as Google AdSense. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.

Ad Customization: They do not store personal information directly, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

3. Managing and Controlling Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through the following methods:

### Browser Settings
