Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and other similar technologies are used when you access or use our Service.
It explains:
- what cookies and tracking technologies are;
- why these technologies are used;
- how you can manage or control them;
- which cookies may be used on our website.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you can contact us at: support@pdfleader.com
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies.
3.1. Web Beacons
A web beacon is a small transparent image that contains a unique identifier. It may also be known as a “pixel tag,” “web bug,” or “GIF.”
A web beacon may be embedded into a website or an email.
When your browser reads the website code, it communicates with our server to display the image. Through this process, we may receive information such as:
- technical specifications of your device;
- operating system information;
- device and browser settings.
Web beacons may also allow us to:
- track your activities during a session;
- recognize when an email was opened;
- identify the IP address and device from which an email was opened;
- improve our email communication.
3.2. Software Development Kits
Software development kits, or SDKs, are third-party software development kits that may be installed in our Service.
SDKs help us understand how you interact with our Service and may collect certain information about:
- the device you use to access the Service;
- the network you use to access the Service.
3.3. Local Shared Objects
Local shared objects, commonly called “Flash cookies,” are pieces of data that websites using Adobe Flash may store on a user’s computer to support Flash functionality.
We may use Adobe Flash to display:
- graphics;
- interactive animations;
- other enhanced functionality.
Local shared objects can track parameters similar to cookies. They may also provide information about your use of the specific feature supported by the cookie.
For example, if the technology supports video display, we may receive information about:
- how much of the video was watched;
- when viewing stopped.
3.4. HTML5 Local Storage
HTML5 is the fifth version of the HTML language and includes functionality that allows information to be stored locally within browser data files.
HTML5 local storage works in a way similar to cookies, but it differs because:
- it can hold larger amounts of information;
- it does not rely on an exchange of data with the website’s server.
3.5. Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting is a technique that combines a set of information elements to uniquely identify a particular device.
These elements may include:
- device configuration data;
- CSS information;
- JavaScript objects;
- installed fonts;
- browser plugins;
- use of APIs;
- HTTP header information;
- clock information.
3.6. Device Identifiers
Device identifiers are identifiers made up of numbers and letters that are unique to a specific device.
These identifiers include:
- Apple’s ID for Advertisers (IDFA);
- Google’s Android Advertising ID (AAID).
Device identifiers are stored on the device and are used to recognize you and your devices across different apps and devices for marketing and advertising purposes.
You can reset your device identifier or opt out of personalized advertising in your device settings.
You may be able to manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser, device settings, analytics opt-out tools, advertising opt-out resources, and third-party privacy controls.
