Cookie & Tracker Policy
Last updated: 13 août 2026
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on pdfscene.com, in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. Related technologies (localStorage, IndexedDB, pixels) may serve a similar purpose.
2. What PDF Scene uses today
No third-party advertising cookies. The first-party audience measurement below does not set a cookie; no opt-in banner is shown for this measurement. A compliant banner will be deployed if non-essential analytics, personalisation, or advertising cookies are introduced.
- Strictly necessary local storage (localStorage / IndexedDB): documents, UI preferences, signatures, local Free/Pro status, checkout return identifier, AI credit balance shown on the client. These deposits are required to provide the Service you request and do not require marketing consent (the “strictly necessary” exemption).
- Pro AI assistant: does not use advertising cookies. Requests go to our API with the Pro checkout identifier (stored locally); processing of messages / document context is described in the Privacy .
- First-party audience measurement (no cookie): a script hosted on pdfscene.com sends the page path (no query string, no PDF content, no document title) to our API. Daily hashed identifier; opt out via Global Privacy Control (GPC). See Privacy § 3.7.
- Technical logs on the host side: possible (IP, user-agent) for security and proper operation — see our Privacy .
3. Payment cookies (Polar)
When upgrading to Pro, you may leave pdfscene.com for Polar's domain, which may set its own cookies under its policy. We do not control those details.
4. Future changes
If non-essential analytics, personalisation, or advertising cookies are introduced, a compliant opt-in consent banner will be deployed before any deposit, with the ability to refuse without blocking access to the core Service.
5. How to delete local storage
Via your browser settings: clear site data / cookies for pdfscene.com. This may remove your local documents and saved signatures.
