Cookie Policy
Last Updated: August 2026 | AIC – Aryan Intelligence Consulting
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit our website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to website owners.
2. Cookies We Use
AIC – Aryan Intelligence Consulting uses cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They include:
- Theme preference: Stores your dark/light mode choice so your preference is remembered across sessions (stored in localStorage, not a HTTP cookie).
- Session tokens: Used for authentication if you log into the client portal or admin dashboard (Module 2+).
- CSRF protection: Protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery attacks.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how you use our website so we can improve it. They may include:
- Web analytics: We may use tools like Google Analytics (or similar) to measure page views, bounce rate, and user flow. These cookies do not identify you personally.
- Performance monitoring: Cookies that help us track site performance and error rates.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to provide you with a better experience:
- Language or region preferences (when applicable).
- Form data (e.g., remembering your name if you start filling out a contact form).
Marketing & Third-Party Cookies
We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising or marketing. However, if you click links to external sites or use embedded content (e.g., embedded videos), those sites may place their own cookies. We are not responsible for their practices.
3. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies may be either "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored for a set period or until you manually delete them). The specific expiration time depends on the cookie's purpose — session tokens might expire after 24 hours of inactivity, while theme preferences are stored indefinitely unless you clear your browser data.
4. How to Control Cookies
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:
- Accept or reject cookies: Most browsers let you choose which cookies to accept or reject.
- Delete cookies: You can delete stored cookies at any time through your browser settings.
- Disable cookies entirely: You can disable cookies, though this may affect website functionality.
Note: Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of our website, such as logging into your account or submitting forms.
5. Browser Controls
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data

6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites respond to DNT signals. We will respect DNT preferences where technically feasible, but cannot guarantee compliance across all systems.
7. Third-Party Services
Our website is hosted on Vercel and may use other service providers (e.g., email, analytics, or storage). These providers may set their own cookies. We encourage you to review their privacy and cookie policies:
