1. Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on the Cyber Secure India (CSI) website. The website is designed as a lightweight static site and may use basic analytics, preference storage and technical service logs. It does not intentionally use advertising cookies, behavioural profiling cookies or third-party ad trackers.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored by a browser to remember information about a visit. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, server logs and security signals used by hosting providers. Some are necessary for basic delivery and abuse prevention; others are optional and used for analytics or personalisation.
3. Current use
Cyber Secure India (CSI) currently uses local browser storage to remember the dark-theme preference and cookie notice acknowledgement selected by a visitor. Basic analytics may be used to understand page performance, content reach and website reliability. Hosting and form providers may process technical logs or strictly necessary cookies for security, diagnostics, spam prevention, performance and form handling.
4. Analytics
The website may use basic, non-advertising analytics to understand aggregate usage such as page views, device/browser type, referring pages, performance issues and general location signals. Analytics should be used to improve public-awareness content and site reliability, not to build advertising profiles.
5. Categories of technologies
- Strictly necessary technologies support hosting, security, form handling, abuse prevention and delivery.
- Preference technologies remember choices such as dark theme where enabled by the user.
- Analytics technologies may support aggregate measurement of content reach, performance and site reliability.
- Advertising and behavioural profiling cookies are not intentionally used by Cyber Secure India (CSI).
6. Managing cookies and local storage
You can block, delete or restrict cookies through your browser settings. You can also clear local storage for this website through browser developer tools or privacy settings. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect security checks, form processing or preference persistence.
7. Third-party services
Netlify or other infrastructure providers may use technical mechanisms to deliver the site, process forms, detect abuse and maintain service reliability. These providers operate under their own policies.
8. Updates to this policy
Cyber Secure India (CSI) may update this Cookie Policy when the website, hosting setup, analytics choices or user-preference features change. The updated date on this page will reflect the latest revision.
