Cookie Policy – Docy Switch

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Docy Switch ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit our website.

Docy Switch is a free online document conversion and PDF management platform powered by Slingster.

2. Essential Browser Storage

Docy Switch uses browser local storage and session storage for essential functionality. These are not traditional cookies but serve similar purposes for storing data locally in your browser.

Essential storage is strictly necessary for the operation of the service and cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

3. Theme Preferences

We store your theme preference (light or dark mode) in local storage under the key docy-switch-theme.

This allows us to remember your preference across visits without requiring an account. The value is either light or dark.

This preference is stored indefinitely until you change it or clear your browser data.

4. Language Preferences

If language selection features are introduced, we may store your preferred language in local storage to provide a consistent experience across visits.

Currently, Docy Switch operates in English only.

5. Technical Storage

Our hosting infrastructure (Vercel) may set essential technical cookies or use similar mechanisms for:

• Session management and security.
• Load balancing and traffic routing.
• DDoS protection and abuse prevention.
• Performance monitoring.

These are managed by our infrastructure provider and are necessary for the secure and reliable operation of the website.

6. Optional Analytics

As of the effective date of this policy, Docy Switch does not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or tracking cookies.

We have integrated Vercel Analytics (which operates without cookies) for basic privacy-respecting traffic insights. This does not set cookies or track individual users.

If we introduce analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Matomo) or advertising cookies in the future, we will:

• Update this Cookie Policy with clear descriptions of what is collected.
• Implement a consent mechanism (cookie banner) in compliance with applicable laws (e.g., GDPR, ePrivacy Directive).
• Provide an easy way to withdraw consent at any time.

7. Managing Your Preferences

You can manage or clear local storage data through your browser settings:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Additional content settings → On-site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data

Clearing local storage will reset your theme preference to the system default.
