Browser Cookie & Storage Control

Cookie Policy

Effective Date: August 1, 2026. This policy explains what cookies are, how XAPKtoAPK utilizes web storage technologies, and how you can manage your browser cookie preferences.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Web Storage?

Cookies are small text files created by a web server and stored locally on your desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone by your internet browser. They allow websites to remember your device, preserve user session state, store personal preferences (such as language selection or dark mode), and deliver personalized content.

In addition to traditional HTTP cookies, modern web applications utilize HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage. Unlike cookies, HTML5 local storage allows high-capacity data retention exclusively inside your local browser memory without transmitting headers across network requests.

Our platform uses cookies and local storage for specific functional and analytical purposes:

Google AdSense Advertising Cookies Delivers relevant, non-intrusive advertisements sponsored by Google AdSense partners based on general interest topics. Varies (Set by Google domain)

3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

XAPKtoAPK partners with Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our educational pages. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to our website or other sites on the Internet.

  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
AdSense Compliance Guarantee: We do not place misleading ad banners, auto-redirect scripts, hidden download buttons, or pop-under advertising units. All ad placements comply strictly with Google AdSense Publisher Policies.

Most web browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through their settings preferences. Note that disabling essential cookies may impact specific website features such as search modals or dark mode settings.

Cookie Policy FAQs

No! Our client-side XAPK converter relies on browser Web APIs (FileReader and DataView) rather than HTTP cookies. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to unpack XAPK files in your browser.
