1. Do We Use Cookies?

No traditional tracking or advertising cookies are used on this website.

This personal portfolio is statically generated and designed to respect your privacy. I do not deploy marketing trackers, advertising pixels, or cross-site tracking cookies (such as those from Meta, Google Ads, or data brokers).

2. Local Storage Usage

Instead of storing tracking cookies on your device, this website uses standard browser localStorage exclusively for a single functional purpose:

• Theme Preference (theme): Remembers whether you selected the Light or Dark visual theme so your preference persists across page navigations and return visits.

This preference value never leaves your device, is not transmitted to external analytics servers, and cannot be used to identify you.

3. Third-Party Services & External Links

This site is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may process standard server request logs (such as IP addresses and browser user-agent headers) strictly for infrastructure security, DDoS protection, and site delivery.

When you click links to external platforms (like GitHub, LinkedIn, or Instagram), those third-party services may set their own cookies according to their independent cookie policies.

4. How You Can Control Local Storage & Cookies

You have full control over data stored in your browser. You can clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time via your browser settings:

• Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
• Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

5. Updates & Contact

If any functionality changes in the future (for example, if self-hosted analytics are introduced), this policy will be updated accordingly.

If you have any questions regarding this Cookies Policy, you can reach out directly via email at aryanzsingh444@gmail.com.
