Cookie & Local Storage Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Nityaved (https://nityaved.com) uses cookies, browser local storage, session storage, and similar web technologies to enable secure account authentication, remember user preferences, and maintain platform performance.
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies: Small data files transferred to your computer or mobile device by a web server. They allow web applications to maintain state across pages (such as keeping you signed in).
Local & Session Storage: Web storage mechanisms provided natively by your browser (HTML5 web storage) that allow websites to store key-value data locally on your device without sending it with every single network request.
2. Detailed Categories of Technologies Used
| Category | Purpose & Technology | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary (Auth) | Maintains your encrypted authentication session via Supabase Auth (sb-auth-token, sb_user_active). Essential for accessing your saved jobs and managing account settings. | Session to 30 days (auto-refreshed upon active login) |
| Preferences & UI | Stored in browser localStorage to remember recent job search keyword filters, location selections, and interface display toggles. | Persistent until cleared by the user |
| Privacy-Friendly Telemetry | Aggregated web performance insights collected through Vercel Web Analytics & Speed Insights to measure Core Web Vitals (page load time, layout stability). | Cookieless (No persistent client-side tracking cookies) |
3. Cookieless Web Analytics Disclosure
Zero Cross-Site Ad Tracking:
Nityaved uses Vercel Web Analytics, which is engineered to be privacy-first and cookieless. It does not track users across external websites, does not build advertising profiles, and does not store unique cross-site identifiers on your machine. All analytics metrics are completely aggregated and derived from standard server request metadata (such as page path, referrer, browser version, and approximate country-level geography).
4. Managing & Clearing Your Browser Data
You have full control over your browser cookies and local storage. You can configure your browser to reject cookies, prompt you before accepting cookies, or delete stored data at any time:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → Clear browsing data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove All.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data.
Note: If you disable or delete essential authentication cookies, you will be automatically signed out and may need to re-authenticate to view your saved jobs watchlist.
