Cookie policy
Every cookie and storage entry this site uses. All of them are needed for it to work, and none of them tracks you or serves advertising.

What we set
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| __session auth.shravyaworld.org, shared with *.shravyaworld.org | Keeps you signed in across every Shravya app. HttpOnly, so page scripts cannot read it. | 5 days, or until you sign out |
| sidebar_state www.shravyaworld.org | Remembers whether you left the side menu open or collapsed. | 7 days |
| Firebase sign-in storage (IndexedDB) Each Shravya app you use | Holds the sign-in token the app uses to talk to our database. Not a cookie, but browser storage with the same job. | Until you sign out |
| shravya-theme (local storage) www.shravyaworld.org | Remembers whether you chose light, dark or your device setting. Only set if you change it in Settings. | Until you clear it |
| Session storage entries Each Shravya app you use | Short-lived notes such as "a sign-in was just attempted", which stop a failed sign-in from looping. | Until the tab is closed |
What we do not set
No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no social-media tracking pixels. That is why this site does not ask you to accept cookies: there is nothing optional to accept.
How we count visits without cookies
We keep daily totals - how many visits, how many people opened a page - by adding one to a counter. Nothing is stored about who you are: no identifier, no IP address, no cookie. A short-lived note in your browser’s session storage makes sure one visit is counted once; it disappears when you close the tab.
Third parties
Our fonts are served by Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google to fetch them; Google Fonts does not set cookies. Links to Discord, WhatsApp and other sites take you to services with their own cookie policies.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking __session will stop you staying signed in; everything public on the site still works.
