Cookie Policy

1. Our approach

We keep cookies to a minimum. technocrypt.co uses no advertising cookies. The only non-essential cookies are Google Analytics cookies, and they are set only after you choose “Accept” on our cookie banner. Until then — or if you decline, or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal — analytics is not loaded at all.

2. What we use

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
tc_region	Functional cookie	Remembers whether you see the US or India version of the site.	12 months
tc_session	Strictly necessary cookie	Keeps authorised staff signed in to the website's admin area. Not set for visitors.	Up to 14 days
tc-theme	Local storage	Remembers if you switched to dark mode. Stays in your browser and is never sent to us.	Until you clear it
tc-consent	Local storage	Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask on every visit.	Until you clear it or change your choice
_ga	Analytics cookie (Google Analytics) — only with your consent	Distinguishes visitors so we can count unique visits.	2 years
_ga_<ID>	Analytics cookie (Google Analytics) — only with your consent	Keeps track of the current visit (session).	2 years

3. Third-party content

Some articles embed videos from platforms such as YouTube. Those platforms may set their own cookies when you play a video; their cookie policies apply. Where possible we use privacy-enhanced embed modes.

4. Your choices

Use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page to accept or decline analytics cookies, or to change your mind later; declining also deletes the analytics cookies already set. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a refusal.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the region cookie, the site will use your detected or default region each visit. Blocking strictly necessary cookies only affects staff sign-in.
