Transparency & Privacy Compliance

Cookie Policy

Last Updated: October 2026 | Effective Date: Immediately

1. Introduction

At StudySaarthi (accessible at https://studysaarthi.com), we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use data. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how and why we use them, how third parties (such as Google AdSense) utilize cookies on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences at any time.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as dark mode appearance, display settings, and user session choices) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

In addition to standard cookies, modern web browsers also provide Local Storage and Session Storage, which function similarly to cookies by storing client-side data locally inside your browser memory.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies and storage technologies used on StudySaarthi into three groups:

A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

Always Active

These cookies and local storage tokens are essential for the website to function properly. They enable fundamental features such as page navigation, theme customization (dark mode / light mode toggle), and security protections. Without these cookies, the website cannot perform as intended.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies

Optional

These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated information on how visitors interact with our calculators and tools, such as which pages are visited most frequently and whether error messages occur. This information is used strictly to improve site responsiveness, computing speeds, and user experience.

C. Advertising & Marketing Cookies (Google AdSense)

Consent Based

We partner with third-party advertising networks, primarily Google AdSense, to display advertisements that help fund our free educational tools and servers. Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

4. Client-Side Privacy Guarantee (Zero Server Uploads)

Important: Your files and calculator inputs are NEVER saved in cookies!

StudySaarthi tools (such as Image Compressor, PDF Tools, Math Solvers, Salary Calculator, and Attendance Bunk Calculator) process all files and computations 100% locally on your computer or smartphone using HTML5 and JavaScript. Your files, confidential documents, and salary figures are never stored in cookies and are never transmitted to our servers.

5. How to Control & Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over your cookie preferences at all times:

On StudySaarthi: You can click the link at any time in the website footer to adjust your consent settings or revoke consent.
Google Ad Personalization: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's official Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com.
Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies via their settings preferences. You can configure your browser to block cookies or delete existing cookies. To find out more, visit the official support pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top.
