In plain English

—We use a small number of essential cookies to keep the site working.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as keeping a session active — and allow third parties like advertisers to measure the performance of their ads.

Cookies we use

Essential cookies

Required

These cookies are necessary for the site to function. They manage your session during file upload and conversion. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. They do not track you across other websites.

Google AdSense — advertising cookies

Third-party

ChangeMyFile is free to use because we show display advertisements powered by Google AdSense. Google sets cookies on your device to serve relevant ads, measure ad performance, and limit how often you see the same ad. These cookies are controlled by Google, not by us.

Google Tag Manager

Third-party

We use Google Tag Manager to manage analytics and marketing scripts on the site. GTM itself does not set cookies directly, but the tags it loads (including AdSense) may do so.

Your file uploads and cookies

Advertising cookies track browsing behaviour for ad purposes — they have no connection to the files you upload. We do not use cookies to identify, store, or track your file conversions. Your uploaded files are processed and deleted within 24 hours regardless of any cookie settings.
