Why this page exists

Vedica is a free scheme guide. To keep forms secure and remember your preferences, we use a small number of cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage). This policy explains what that means in everyday language.

For the wider picture of personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

What cookies and similar storage are

Cookies are small text files a website can store on your browser. Local storage is another browser feature that can save preferences on your device. Neither of these is the same as an Aadhaar database or a bank KYC file — they are technical helpers for the website you are visiting.

Cookies and storage we use

Essential (always needed for basic operation)

These help Vedica work securely. Without them, some features may break.

  • Session / CSRF cookies — used to protect forms such as Contact from forged requests
  • Cookie-preference storage — remembers whether you chose Essential only or Accept all, so we do not keep asking on every page

Essential tools are not used to sell your data or build advertising profiles.

Optional analytics (only if you Accept all)

If you choose Accept all on the cookie banner, we may enable privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic — for example which pages are visited most, or whether visitors use mobile or desktop. This helps us improve navigation and content quality.

We do not use optional analytics as a licence to sell your personal information. If you choose Essential only, optional analytics should not load.

What we do not use cookies for

  • Collecting OTPs, bank passwords, or Aadhaar numbers
  • Tracking you across unrelated government portals after you leave Vedica (those sites have their own cookies)
  • Selling cookie-based profiles to data brokers

Your choices

  • Use the on-site cookie banner: Essential only or Accept all
  • Clear site data / cookies in your browser to reset the choice and see the banner again
  • Block cookies in browser settings (note: secure forms may then fail)
  • Use the reset button below if you want to change your mind on this device

Third-party cookies

If optional analytics or other approved tools are enabled, they may set their own cookies under their policies. Official government and bank sites you open from Vedica may also set cookies when you visit them — those are outside Vedica’s control.

How long preferences last

Your cookie preference is stored on your device until you clear it or reset it. Session cookies typically expire when you close the browser or after a short server timeout. Exact lifetimes can vary by browser and by the tool in use.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our tools change. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the latest revision.
