What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text data files transferred to your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a web page. Cookies allow our servers to recognize your browser, remember your user preferences (such as audio volume or interactive state), and deliver a seamless browsing experience.
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, we may use modern web storage APIs (such as HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage) to store non-sensitive state data, including audio playback toggles and spectrum slider positions.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify all cookies into four distinct functional tiers:
| Tier | Purpose | Essential? | Typical Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session management, cryptographic token validation, CSRF defense, and server load balancing. | Yes (Cannot be disabled) | Session / 24 hours |
| Functional & Preferences | Remembering UI state, audio mute/play preferences, dark mode preferences, and spectrum navigation positions. | Optional | 30 days to 1 year |
| Performance & Analytics | Aggregated, anonymized telemetry tracking page latency, drop-off rates, and high-traffic sections to optimize hosting performance. | Optional | 90 days |
| External Integration | Enabling interactive embedded assets (such as video showcases, interactive typography loaders, and mapping coordinates). | Optional | Varies by third party |
Third-Party Cookies & Providers
Some third-party tools integrated into our ecosystem may deploy cookies directly on your machine. We only partner with reputable providers adhering to international security standards:
- Cloudflare CDN: Uses security cookies (such as
__cf_bm) to identify trusted web traffic and prevent automated DDoS attacks. - Google Fonts: Web font stylesheets are delivered from Google servers; minimal technical telemetry is logged without personal identifiers.
- Stripe / Razorpay: When accessing invoice payment screens, fraud-detection cookies operate to protect payment authorizations against card theft.
