Cookies & Browser Storage Policy
This website is designed as a fast, accessible, and privacy-conscious academic resource. We prioritize visitor privacy by eliminating invasive tracking mechanisms, user profiling, and third-party advertising cookies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are commonly used to remember login sessions, shopping carts, or analytical metrics.
2. Our First-Party Cookie Policy
This website does not set persistent tracking or commercial advertising cookies.
- No User Profiling: We do not deploy cross-site tracking scripts or sell analytics data.
- No Login Requirement: All public articles, research lists, syllabi, and biographical stories are accessible without an account, removing the need for authentication cookies.
- Session State & UI Storage: Minimal client-side browser session variables (such as accordion toggle states or mobile menu flags) may operate purely in your browser's temporary memory during your current visit and are cleared when the browser is closed.
3. Third-Party Services & Embedded Media
Certain features connect with reputable academic and web infrastructure providers:
- Google Fonts: Typography is served through Google Fonts CDN. Google may log standard HTTP requests to deliver font assets securely.
- YouTube Video Clips: Where lecture recordings or conference presentations are linked, video previews are hosted locally to ensure no tracking cookies are set unless you explicitly click to play external videos on YouTube.
- External Registration Desks: Links to Google Forms (such as EWG applications) or partner academic portals (e.g. University of Calcutta, Bradley University, CATERFLY) operate under their own terms and privacy practices.
4. Managing & Disabling Cookies in Your Browser
You have complete control over cookies through your web browser settings. You can choose to accept, block, or delete cookies at any time:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy & Security → Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Prevent cross-site tracking.
