Cookie Policy
Last updated July 17, 2026
The short version
Documateo uses exactly one cookie. It's required for signed-in accounts to work, and we don't use it — or anything else — for advertising or cross-site tracking.
documateo_session
| Purpose | Keeps you signed in between visits |
| Type | Strictly necessary — the site can't authenticate you without it |
| Set by | Documateo (first-party, not a third party or ad network) |
| Security | HttpOnly (invisible to page scripts) and Secure in production |
| Lifetime | Expires automatically, or immediately when you sign out |
Cookie consent categories
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept, reject, or customize two categories beyond the essential cookie above:
| Necessary | Always on — this is documateo_session above. Can't be refused. |
| Analytics | Off by default. Not currently used anywhere on Documateo — this switch is real and will apply the moment any analytics is added, rather than being retrofitted after the fact. |
| Marketing | Off by default. Not currently used anywhere on Documateo, same as above. |
Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage (key muqira-consent), not a cookie — it isn't sent to our servers and doesn't identify you. You can change it any time via "Cookie preferences" in the site footer.
What we don't use
- No advertising or ad-retargeting cookies
- No third-party analytics cookies that track you across other sites
- Nothing that fires before you've had the chance to decide via the banner above
Browser tools and local storage
The browser-based tools (merge, compress, convert, and most others) process your files using in-memory JavaScript and the Web Crypto API — no file content is written to cookies or local storage, and none of it ever touches a server for these tools. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture of how each tool handles your files.
Many tools remember the settings you last used, such as compression quality, a page-number format, or the text of a watermark, so they're already filled in next time. These are saved in your browser's local storage only (keys starting documateo:pref:), are never sent to us, and contain no file content. Because some of them are text you typed, you can see and clear every saved setting under Account → Preferences (when signed in), or by clearing your site data in your browser.
One convenience in the document generators does use local storage: the last document number you generated for each document type (for example INV-2026-0007), so the next form can suggest INV-2026-0008. It contains no names, addresses or amounts, never leaves your browser, and clearing your site data removes it.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. Since documateo_session is required to stay signed in, blocking it means you'll be signed out and treated as an anonymous visitor — the free browser tools will still work normally.
