1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or computer when you visit a website. Related technologies — such as local storage, pixels, and scripts — function similarly and are covered under this policy.
2. Our consent approach
WhatsConvert operates an opt-in consent architecture. When you first visit our site, no marketing, analytics, or advertising technologies run. Only strictly necessary security cookies and your consent record are stored.
You can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customize choices category by category. You may adjust or withdraw your choices at any moment via the Cookie settings link in the footer.
We deploy Google Consent Mode v2, transmitting standardized consent signals (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, analytics_storage) to Google.
