Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Simple Statement Converter uses, and how you can control them. It applies to all users worldwide and is designed to comply with the cookie and tracking-related requirements of the laws listed in Section 7.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information across pages or visits. Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags serve analogous purposes and are covered by this policy where applicable.

Our Cookie Philosophy

Simple Statement Converter is designed to use the absolute minimum number of cookies necessary to function. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, behavioural profiling, or analytics scripts that send your data to third parties. We do not use cookies to build profiles about you or to serve targeted advertising.

Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the service to work. Without them, features such as signing in and file upload cannot function. They do not contain personal financial data.

Name Purpose Duration Type
laravel_session Maintains your signed-in session Session (deleted on browser close) Strictly necessary
XSRF-TOKEN Protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery Session Strictly necessary
bsc_high_contrast Remembers that you turned on higher contrast colours in the Accessibility menu. Only set if you switch it on, and stored in your browser (local storage), never sent to us Until you switch it off or clear your browser data Strictly necessary (a setting you chose)

Analytics Cookies
We do not currently use analytics cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and, where required by law, seek your consent before setting them.

Marketing And Advertising Cookies
We do not use marketing, advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind. We do not embed third-party social media buttons, share widgets, or advertising network scripts that would set cookies on your device.

Third-Party Cookies
We do not embed third-party scripts or iframes that would cause third-party cookies to be set on your device. This includes no Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, Twitter/X pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tools.

Legal Basis And Consent

EU And EEA Users (GDPR and ePrivacy Directive):
Under the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as implemented by EU member states, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. We rely on this exemption for the cookies described above. Any non-essential cookies, if we ever introduce them, will only be set with your prior, informed, and freely given consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies in your browser.

UK Users (PECR):
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. The position is the same as for EU users above.

California Users (CCPA/CPRA):
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. As a result, no "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" opt-out is triggered by our cookie practices. If this changes, we will provide an opt-out mechanism before any such cookies are set.

Brazilian Users (LGPD):
Strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Article 10, LGPD). Non-essential cookies, if introduced, will only be set with your consent (Article 7(I), LGPD).

Canadian Users (PIPEDA And Provincial Laws):
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under PIPEDA. Any non-essential cookies introduced in future will be set only with your knowledge and consent.

Australian Users (Privacy Act 1988):
Our cookie practices are consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles. No personal information is stored in cookies beyond what is needed to operate the session.

Singapore Users (PDPA):
Strictly necessary cookies are used without consent on the basis of the service being requested by the user. No personal data is collected through cookies beyond session management.
