Legal · Cookie consent schema v2 · Effective 27 July 2026

Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy describes the cookie categories used on the Tech Sewak website. The same category names and purposes appear in the cookie banner and Manage Preferences controls. This page applies to techsewak.com (and localhost during development). Personal data processing beyond cookies is covered by our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

We use cookies to ensure the fast, reliable and secure operation of this website, to improve your website experience, to enable certain social media interactions, and to manage your cookie choices. Some cookies process personal data where applicable. We also use localStorage for your website cookie preference record. Optional cookies load only after you consent to that category on this browser.

2. When we show the cookie notice

  • After website registration: if this browser has no website cookie preference yet, the cookie banner still appears. Account privacy consent ≠ cookie consent.
  • After mobile-app registration: visiting the website still shows the website cookie notice. App consent does not cover website cookies on this device.
  • Returning visits: if a valid preference is stored for this browser, the banner stays hidden until you withdraw consent or we bump the consent schema version.

Strictly necessary cookies stay on for secure operation. Optional categories — Experience & Preferences, Social Media Interactions, and Analytics & Performance — are off until you consent. Click “Manage Preferences” to make individual choices and review Cookie Details. You can open Cookie Settings in the footer anytime to change or withdraw optional consent.

3. Categories and purposes

The banner and Manage Preferences modal use the same categories and purposes listed here. Accept all is optional — you may choose Necessary only or toggle each category.

Strictly NecessaryAlways on

Required for secure, reliable operation (session, authentication, load balancing, and storing your cookie choices). These process personal data only for this purpose and cannot be switched off.

  • authjs.session-token / __Secure-authjs.session-token — Keeps you signed in securely (Session / up to 8 hours; First-party)
  • ts_cookie_prefs — Stores your cookie preference choices, consent version, and timestamp (1 year; First-party)

Experience & PreferencesOptional

Optional. Remembers non-sensitive interface choices to improve usability. Off until you consent. You may withdraw anytime.

  • ts_ui_prefs — Remembers non-sensitive UI preferences (6 months; First-party)

Social Media InteractionsOptional

Optional. Enables social embeds or share helpers only when you engage with those features. Off until you consent.

  • Social embed / share helpers — Supports optional social interactions (Varies by provider; Third-party (only if enabled))

Analytics & PerformanceOptional

Optional. Aggregated traffic and reliability insights. Scripts and analytics cookies load only after consent. Off until you consent.

  • _ga / analytics identifiers — Aggregated traffic and performance insights (Up to 2 years; Third-party (only if enabled))

4. How we store your choice

  • Browser: localStorage record plus first-party cookie ts_cookie_prefs for script gating (version, timestamp, category flags, anonymous browser consent id).
  • Anonymous: a browser consent id links audit rows without requiring login.
  • When logged in: we also persist an audit record (userId, version, timestamp, categories, source: web | app | banner | settings).
  • Analytics, social, and experience features on this website are gated by the preference on this device — not by mobile-app consent alone.

5. Managing and withdrawing consent

Use Cookie Settings in the site footer anytime to open Manage Preferences, change toggles, choose Necessary only, Accept all, or Withdraw consent. Withdrawing optional consent stops related processing going forward and clears related optional cookies. Necessary cookies remain for security and core function. Account registration privacy consent (if any) is separate from these website cookie choices.

6. Account privacy consent

Creating an account asks for a short privacy consent linking this Cookies Policy and the Privacy Policy. That checkbox is about membership data processing. It does not turn optional website cookies on, and it does not hide the cookie banner on a browser that has no cookie preference yet.
