Summary: The Veludurthi Technologies website does not set any cookies. It uses two small pieces of first-party local browser storage — one to remember your light/dark theme choice, and one to remember whether you've dismissed a one-time interface hint. No advertising, tracking, or analytics technology is used on this website as of the effective date above.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites can store in your browser. Websites also commonly use similar technologies, such as browser local storage, to remember information between visits. This policy covers both, and describes what Veludurthi Technologies actually uses today, not a generic or hypothetical list.
2. Why Veludurthi Technologies uses these technologies
Veludurthi Technologies uses browser local storage strictly to improve your experience of the website — specifically, to remember display preferences you have already chosen, so you don't need to reset them every visit.
3. Strictly necessary storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
veludurthi-theme | Local storage (first-party) | Remembers whether you have chosen light or dark display mode, so the site shows the correct theme on your next visit. | Persists until you clear your browser storage or change the setting. |
4. Functional storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
veludurthi-drag-hint-dismissed | Local storage (first-party) | Remembers that you have already seen and dismissed the one-time "drag to explore" hint shown on the homepage's interactive 3D visuals, so it does not reappear on later visits. | Persists until you clear your browser storage. |
5. Analytics cookies
Veludurthi Technologies does not currently use any analytics cookies or analytics services (such as Google Analytics) on this website.
6. Performance cookies
Veludurthi Technologies does not currently use any separate performance-monitoring cookies or services.
7. Marketing and advertising cookies
Veludurthi Technologies does not use any marketing, advertising, or retargeting cookies, and does not use tools such as Meta Pixel on this website.
8. Third-party cookies
Veludurthi Technologies does not knowingly set any third-party cookies. The website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) and the Three.js library from a content delivery network (esm.sh) to render visual elements; these requests are necessary to display the page correctly. To the extent such third parties set any cookies of their own as part of serving these resources, that is governed by their respective privacy policies, not Veludurthi Technologies's, and Veludurthi Technologies does not use these services for tracking or advertising purposes.
9. Cookie / storage duration
Both local storage items described above are persistent (they remain until removed) rather than session-based (cleared when you close your browser), because their purpose is to remember a preference across visits. Neither expires automatically.
10. Managing local storage and cookies
You can clear locally stored data at any time through your browser's settings (commonly under "Privacy" or "Site data"). Doing so will reset your theme preference and cause the interface hint to reappear on your next visit, but will not affect your ability to use the website.
11. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies and site data through their settings menu. Refer to your browser's help documentation for exact steps, as these vary by browser and version.
12. Consent
Because Veludurthi Technologies does not use non-essential cookies (such as analytics or advertising cookies), the website does not currently display a cookie consent banner. If Veludurthi Technologies introduces any non-essential cookie or tracking technology in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated first, and consent will be requested where required by applicable law before such technology is activated.
13. Changes to this Cookie Policy
Veludurthi Technologies may update this Cookie Policy if the technologies used on the website change. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
14. Contact
Questions about this Cookie Policy can be directed to phaniveludurthi@gmail.com or via our contact page.
This Cookie Policy reflects the technologies actually implemented on the Veludurthi Technologies website as of the effective date above. It will be revised if that implementation changes.
