Cookie Policy
Which cookies the site uses, why, and how to control them.
This policy explains how transferfiles.net uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as localStorage, work in much the same way. They let a site remember things between page loads or visits. Some are needed for a site to work. Others are used to measure traffic or personalise advertising.
The transfer tool itself
The file transfer tool doesn't need cookies. Transfers rely on a temporary session code that exists only while your page is open. The tool doesn't set tracking cookies.
Cookies used on this site

Google may change the exact cookie names it uses. Google's own explanation is at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Consent
Visitors from the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland see a consent message before advertising and analytics cookies are used for personalisation. If you decline, Google may still show non-personalised ads, which use cookies only for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention.
How to control cookies
- Change your consent: use the privacy or cookie settings link shown with the consent message.
- Personalised ads: turn ad personalisation off at Google Ads Settings, or use aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Analytics: install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Your browser: block or delete cookies in Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Blocking all cookies won't stop the transfer tool from working.
