Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember your device, remember preferences (such as language or theme), and understand how visitors interact with different pages.

HTML5 Local Storage / Session Storage: Web browsers also provide client-side storage mechanisms (localStorage and sessionStorage) that function similarly to cookies, storing small configuration keys locally on your device without transmitting them with every single server request.

2. The Exact Technologies Used on BleuByte

We strive for maximum privacy and minimal intrusion. Our website uses the following specific client-side storage keys and cookies:

3. Categories of Cookies & Storage

A. Strictly Necessary / Essential Storage

These items are required for the basic operation and security of the website. Without these technologies, key features (such as maintaining session integrity, form validation, and recording your cookie choice) cannot function. Essential cookies do not require prior consent under applicable privacy regulations.

B. Functional & Preference Storage

Functional items enable enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering your UI preferences (light/dark mode toggle) and preventing repetitive popup displays. If you disable these, some site conveniences may require re-selection on each page load.

C. Analytics & Performance Cookies

Analytics help website operators understand aggregate visitor patterns, such as which software service pages are most popular.

Current Website Status: Currently, the core BleuByte website does not load invasive third-party commercial trackers or behavioral cross-site advertising cookies. If third-party analytics tools (such as privacy-focused analytics or Google Analytics) are implemented in future updates, they will operate strictly subject to your consent through our cookie controls.

D. Marketing & Advertising Pixels

We do NOT use third-party advertising retargeting pixels (e.g., Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or ad exchange trackers) on this website to track your browsing activities across unrelated websites.

4. Third-Party CDNs and External Scripts

To ensure fast loading speeds and modern visual styling across India and international locations, our website loads certain scripts, icons, and libraries from reputable Content Delivery Networks (CDNs):

• Google Fonts: For typography rendering (Montserrat and Poppins). Google may receive your IP address during font asset requests.
• cdnjs / jsDelivr / unpkg: For serving open-source libraries including Bootstrap 5, FontAwesome icons, Swiper.js, and AOS animations.

These CDNs process requests solely to deliver technical files to your browser and do not set marketing tracking cookies on behalf of BleuByte.

5. How You Can Manage or Decline Cookies

You have multiple avenues to control how cookies and storage mechanisms are applied:

A. Through Our On-Site Cookie Banner

When you first visit our website, you are presented with a cookie banner offering you the choice to "Accept All" or "Decline". Clicking "Decline" records your preference as declined in your browser's local storage.

B. Through Your Web Browser Controls

All modern web browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and clear cookies and local storage. You can access these settings in your browser:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies.

Please note that clearing your browser storage will remove your saved preferences, and our cookie banner will re-appear upon your next visit.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
