Welcome to CompressDocument Pro ("we", "our", or "us"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website compressdocument.in and our associated online document processing tools.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date. A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

We also use similar technologies such as:

• Web beacons: Small graphic images used to monitor user activity
• Local storage: Storage of data in your browser for faster performance
• Session storage: Temporary storage of data during your browsing session
