FileToaster’s own cookies

None. The converters, the download buttons and every other part of FileToaster work without setting cookies, and your files are never uploaded. Your option choices on a converter page aren’t stored after you leave.

Consent choice

Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland see a consent message from Google’s consent tool. The tool stores your choice in a cookie on this site so you aren’t asked on every page. Depending on Google’s implementation, these may include cookies named FCCDCF and FCNEC, typically kept for up to about 13 months.

You can change your choice at any time with Privacy choices in the footer.

Google advertising cookies

When ads are shown, Google AdSense and its partners may set cookies or use similar technologies, such as local storage. Some are set on filetoaster.com and some on Google’s own domains. What’s set depends on your location, your consent choice and your browser. Examples may include:

Cookie	Domain	Purpose	Typical lifetime
__gads	filetoaster.com	Ad delivery and measurement, frequency capping	Up to 13 months
__gpi	filetoaster.com	Ad delivery and measurement	Up to 13 months
__eoi	filetoaster.com	Security and fraud prevention	About 6 months
IDE	doubleclick.net	Ad personalization and measurement	13 months in the EEA and UK, longer elsewhere
DSID	doubleclick.net	Links ad activity to a signed-in Google account, for ad preferences	About 2 weeks

Google can change these names and lifetimes. For the current details, see how Google uses cookies and how Google uses cookies in advertising.

If you decline personalized ads, Google may still show ads that aren’t personalized. Depending on your choice, it may use cookies or similar technologies for them, for purposes such as limiting how often you see an ad, ad reporting and fighting fraud.

Analytics: no cookies

We count page views with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn’t use cookies, local storage or fingerprinting. It only gives us aggregate numbers. See the privacy policy for details.

Managing cookies

• Privacy choices: use the link in the footer to review or change your consent at any time.
• Google’s settings: turn ad personalization on or off in My Ad Center.
• Your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, including third-party cookies only. Look in the privacy or security section of your browser’s settings. Blocking cookies won’t stop FileToaster’s converters from working.
