This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types we use, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences. Last updated: May 20, 2026.

1What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They serve as a form of digital memory, enabling websites to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences, session state, and browsing behavior — to improve your experience on return visits.

Session CookiesTemporary cookies that expire automatically when you close your browser. Used for authentication, security, and maintaining page state during a single visit.

Persistent CookiesRemain on your device for a pre-set period (or until you delete them). Used to remember your preferences and improve your experience across multiple visits.

First-Party CookiesSet directly by devinit.in. These are necessary for core website functions, analytics, and preference storage on our own domain.

Third-Party CookiesSet by external services embedded on our website (e.g. Google Analytics). These are governed by the privacy policies of those respective providers.

2Cookie Categories We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on devinit.in. Not all categories are active at all times — we activate only what is necessary for our current operational stage.

🔒 Essential & Security Cookies

Always Active

Purpose: These are fundamental to the secure and correct operation of our website. They handle session management, user security, CSRF protection, and basic navigation functionality. Without these cookies, parts of the site cannot function properly.

Consent required: No — these are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled.

📊 Analytics Cookies

Optional

Purpose: Helps us understand how visitors interact with our website — including which pages are most visited, how long sessions last, where users navigate from, and general device/browser distributions. We use anonymized, aggregated analytics data to continuously improve our platform and content. Tools may include Google Analytics or similar platforms.

Consent required: Yes — you can opt out at any time.

⚙️ Performance & Preference Cookies

Optional

Purpose: Stores your display preferences and session customizations — such as whether the loader animation has been shown, dark mode preferences, language settings, and personalized UI configurations — to deliver a consistent experience across sessions.

Consent required: Yes — you can reset preferences via our Data Rights Page.

📢 Marketing & Retargeting Cookies

Future / Optional

Purpose: Reserved for future use. These cookies may be activated to enable targeted advertising on third-party platforms (e.g. Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads) based on anonymous interest categories and interaction signals from our website. They will not be activated without your prior consent and appropriate notice.

Consent required: Yes — will require explicit opt-in before activation.
