1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit our website. They help us recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions on our document editing and proofreading platform. Cookies enable us to provide you with a personalized experience and help us understand how you interact with our services.

4. GDPR Compliance and Consent Mode v2

Our Commitment to GDPR Compliance

We fully comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and have implemented Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure your privacy rights are respected. This advanced consent framework allows us to adjust how cookies and tracking technologies behave based on your consent choices.

When you visit our website, you'll be presented with a consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. Your choices are respected and stored, and our tracking technologies adjust their behavior accordingly. We use cookieless pings to respect your privacy while still gathering essential anonymous analytics data when consent is not granted.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Our document editing and proofreading platform may use services from trusted third-party providers that set their own cookies to provide specific functionalities. These may include:

Category Purpose Duration
Analytics Services To measure website performance and user engagement with our editing tools Up to 24 months
Content Delivery Networks To ensure fast loading of document editing interfaces and resources Session-based
Customer Support Tools To provide assistance with your proofreading and editing needs Up to 12 months
Payment Processors To securely process payments for our services Session-based

We carefully select our third-party partners and ensure they comply with GDPR and other applicable data protection regulations. These partners are contractually obligated to use cookies only for the purposes we've specified and to protect your data appropriately.

6. User Control Over Cookies

We believe in giving you complete control over your cookie preferences. You have several options to manage cookies on our document editing platform:

Cookie Consent Manager

Use our built-in cookie consent manager to accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences at any time. You can access this tool from the banner that appears when you first visit our site or through the settings menu.

Browser Settings

Configure your web browser to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when a cookie is being sent. Check your browser's help section for specific instructions.

Opt-Out Tools

Use industry-standard opt-out mechanisms for advertising and analytics cookies. Many third-party services provide their own opt-out tools that you can use to control tracking.

Privacy Mode

Use your browser's private or incognito mode, which typically doesn't store cookies after you close the session. This is useful for one-time document editing sessions.

Important Note: Blocking or deleting certain cookies may impact your experience on our platform. Some features of our document editing and proofreading services may not function properly without necessary cookies. However, strictly necessary cookies required for basic functionality will still be used to ensure the platform operates correctly.
