Cookie Policy

We don't use cookies

That is the whole policy, but since almost every site says otherwise while setting dozens, here is the detail so you can verify it.

What we don't do

• No tracking cookies. We do not follow you across sites or sessions.
• No advertising pixels. No Meta pixel, no Google Ads tag, no retargeting of any kind.
• No Google Analytics. Nothing about your visit goes to an advertising company.
• No third-party fonts. Our fonts are served from our own domain, so no font provider ever sees your IP address.
• No social embeds that phone home before you click them.

Some of this is a deliberate choice about how we want to treat visitors. Some of it is legally required: many of our users are under 18, and Section 9(3) of the DPDP Act prohibits behavioural tracking and targeted advertising directed at children. The simplest way to comply reliably is not to do it to anyone.

What we do use

Cloudflare Web Analytics

We measure how many people visit which pages, using Cloudflare Web Analytics. It iscookieless and does not fingerprint or identify individual visitors. We see aggregate counts — page views, referrers, broad country — and nothing that could be traced back to you.

Cloudflare Turnstile

Our forms are protected by Turnstile, which blocks automated spam. It may store a short-lived token in your browser to confirm the check passed. It is not used for tracking or advertising, and unlike some alternatives it does not build an advertising profile from your behaviour.

Local storage — one item

When you dismiss the privacy notice at the bottom of the page, we save a single flag in your browser's local storage so it does not reappear on every page. It is:

• stored only in your own browser, and never sent to us;
• the literal value ms:privacy-notice-seen = 1;
• removable by clearing site data, which simply makes the notice reappear.

We used local storage rather than a cookie precisely so that dismissing a privacy notice does not itself create tracking.

Cal.com, if you book a session

Our booking page embeds a Cal.com calendar. If you interact with it, Cal.com may set its own storage to manage your booking. That is governed by Cal.com's own privacy policy. Simply loading our page without interacting does not create a booking record.

Do Not Track

We honour it by default, in the sense that we do not track anyone whether or not the header is set.

Questions

If you think something on this site is tracking you, we would genuinely like to know — emailsatyamraj.cyc@gmail.com. See also ourPrivacy Policy.
