Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the company behind GuruPDF ("GuruPDF", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at gurupdf.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, the company behind GuruPDF) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. These cookies must be enabled, or the site will not function, and cannot be blocked.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our Website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.

Third-Party Cookies

We work with analytics providers — including Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Ahrefs Analytics, and Hotjar — for aggregate insights about how the Website is used. Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar additionally record anonymised replays of site sessions (pointer movement, clicks and scrolling), with text typed into form fields suppressed by default. Optional cookies can be managed via the banner or Cookie preferences. Choosing Essential only stores that preference for later visits. Global Privacy Control is honored when your browser sends it. We use this information solely to improve our Website and tools.

How Can You Control Cookies?

You can manage optional cookies at any time. A first-visit banner offers equal choices — OK, or Essential only. Cookie preferences in the footer reopens the banner. You can also control cookies in your browser settings. Choosing Essential only does not limit Website features.

Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
