Cookie Policy

RunConvert uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep the Service running, understand how it is used, and - with your consent - deliver relevant advertising. This page explains what we use and why.
Basics
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit - such as your session state, language preference, or consent choices - so you do not have to re-enter that information each time.
Similar technologies include web beacons (tiny images used to track page views), local storage, and device fingerprinting. We refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
Categories
How we categorize cookies
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They handle session authentication, payment security, and bot detection. Without them, core features like file conversion and payments would not work. These cookies do not require your consent.
Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use RunConvert - which formats are popular, how long conversions take, and where errors occur. This data is used in aggregate to improve performance and add new format support. Consent is required for non-essential analytics.
Advertising
Advertising cookies measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and allow us to show relevant ads on external platforms. These cookies only activate after you interact with our ads and require your explicit consent.
