Cookie Policy
Last updated
A cookie is a small file your browser keeps for a site. We use a few. This page lists what they are for. The longer privacy write-up is on the Privacy Policy page.
Cookies we set
Account / session. If you log in, our auth provider stores a session so you don’t have to type your password on every click. Those cookies are needed for the logged-in history to work. If you don’t want them, don’t create an account — the paste box still works as a guest.
Security and basic ops. Hosts and CDNs sometimes set short-lived cookies to route traffic or stop abuse. They aren’t used to build a profile of you for us.
Cookies other people set
If we run Google ads (or similar), those networks can drop cookies or use pixels to know whether an ad was shown and, where allowed, to tailor ads. We don’t read those cookies. Google explains them here: How Google uses cookies in advertising.
Turning them off
Every mainstream browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies will likely break login. Guest downloads should still work.
For Google ads, you can also use Google’s ad settings and, in some regions, industry opt-out tools. That does not stop every ad — it usually stops personalized ones.
Local storage
The downloader may remember the last URL or format you picked in your browser (local storage), so the box isn’t empty when you come back. That’s on your device. Clear site data and it’s gone.
