Cookie Notice

Which cookies and browser storage this website uses, and what you can do about them.

Last reviewed October 2026
In shortThe pages and scripts we publish do not set cookies, and at the time of this review they contain no advertising or analytics tools. Your browser stores one display preference, and the scanner page keeps a temporary reference to your current scan. This notice will change before we add anything else.

01What this notice covers

This notice explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser's local and session storage) used by dpdp-compliance.in. It supports the Privacy Policy. For what a cookie is, see the cookies entry in the dictionary.

02Cookies

The pages and scripts we publish do not set cookies. Hosting or network providers in front of a website can add their own technical cookies, for example for security or delivery; we do not control these.

03Browser storage we use

NameWherePurposeHow longSent to us?
dpdp-themeAll pages (local storage)Remembers whether you chose the light or dark display.Until you clear this site's dataNo. It stays on your device.
dpdp-scanner-scanScanner page only, after you start a scan (session storage)Keeps the reference and private access token of your current scan so that refreshing the page does not lose your report.Until you delete the report or close the browser tabThe reference is sent to our scanner service when you open your report; the token is what lets you open it.

The scanner works if storage is blocked, but your current report may not survive a page refresh.

04Third-party services

Google Fonts. The pages load typefaces from Google's servers. This means Google receives your IP address and basic browser details when a page loads. We do not control Google's handling of that data; see Google's own policies.

05Analytics and advertising

At the time of this review the site includes no analytics, advertising, remarketing or social-media tracking scripts. If we decide to add analytics in future, we will first update this notice and the Privacy Policy, describe what the tool collects, and ask for your consent before it runs where consent is required. The scanner records anonymous daily totals (for example, how many reports were downloaded) that carry no identifiers; see the scanner privacy section.

06Cookies and the DPDP Act

The DPDP Act does not use the word “cookies”. Where a cookie or similar identifier is used to process personal data, the Act's principles of notice and consent are what matter, and a consent mechanism such as a consent banner is one way organisations put them into practice. Whether a particular cookie involves personal data depends on the facts. We have no consent banner because, as described above, we set no cookies that would need one. Want to check another site?

We will update this notice before any change to the technologies listed here takes effect. The review date at the top of the page shows when it was last checked.
