Cookie Policy
What File ICU stores in your browser, why, and how you stay in control.
Last updated: October 2, 2026
Types of cookies we use
Essential (always on)
These are needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice, so they do not require consent. File ICU does not set any cookies of its own; it saves your choice in your browser’s local storage.
Analytics (off until you allow it)
We do not currently use analytics, so nothing in this category is loaded. Your choice is still saved so it applies if we add analytics later.
Advertising (off until you allow it)
We do not currently show ads, so nothing in this category is loaded. Your choice is still saved so it applies if we add advertising later.
What is stored
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
fileicu-consent (local storage, set by File ICU) | Essential | Remembers your analytics and advertising choices and when you made them | Until you change your choice or clear your browser data |
Cloudflare security cookies, such as __cf_bm and cf_clearance | Essential | Set by our hosting provider only when needed to protect the site from bots and abuse | About 30 minutes by default |
Files and text you use in the tools are never stored in cookies or sent to us.
Third-party cookies
We do not currently load any third-party analytics or advertising scripts.A few other services can be contacted while you use the site, none of which track you across websites: the OCR tool downloads its engine from jsDelivr, and our host Cloudflare delivers every page. See the Privacy Policy for the full list.
How consent works
- Until you choose, only essential storage is used. Accept All turns on analytics and advertising, Reject All keeps them off, and Manage Preferences lets you choose each one.
- Your choice is remembered in this browser across pages and visits.
- If you withdraw consent, the page reloads without that provider’s script, ad spaces disappear, and we remove that provider’s cookies where we can. Cookies set by other domains may need to be cleared in your browser settings.
- Your choice only applies to the browser you made it in. Clearing your browser data resets it, and the banner will appear again.
