In short
- We use one sign-in cookie and some browser storage, only to keep you signed in and save your work.
- No advertising cookies, no tracking across other sites, and no analytics cookies today.
- Payment providers may set their own cookies during checkout.
- Signing out, or clearing your browser’s site data, removes ours.
1.What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Browser storage (local storage and session storage) works in a similar way. Both let a site remember things between pages and visits.
2.What we use
We use only what is needed to run the Service. We don’t use advertising cookies, we don’t track you across other websites, and we don’t currently use analytics cookies.
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| token | Cookie | Keeps you signed in | 8 days, or until you sign out |
| auth_token, user_role, user_data | Local storage | Remembers who is signed in on this device, so the right menus show | Until you sign out |
| oauth_state, oauth_provider, oauth_redirect | Local storage | Makes signing in with Google, Facebook, GitHub or LinkedIn safe, and returns you to the right page | Removed after sign-in |
| Saved drafts (for example the setup wizard and website builder) | Local storage | Keeps your unfinished answers so you don’t lose them | Until you finish or clear them |
| Your AI settings | Local storage | Remembers AI settings you chose on this device | Until you change or clear them |
| Pending question and form prefill | Session storage | Carries what you typed from one page to the next | Until you close the tab |
Tutor Genie keeps the parent PIN only in the page’s memory while the parent area is open. It is never saved in a cookie or in browser storage.
3.Other companies’ cookies
- Payments: when you pay, Razorpay’s or Stripe’s checkout opens and may set its own cookies to process the payment safely and prevent fraud. Their cookie policies apply.
- Fonts: some pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address to send the font file.
- Business websites: a business that builds its site on Shukto may add its own tools. That business is responsible for them.
4.Why we don’t ask for consent
The cookies and storage above are strictly necessary: without them you couldn’t sign in or keep your work. So we don’t show a cookie banner. If we ever add analytics or other optional cookies, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.
5.How to control them
- Signing out removes the sign-in cookie and the sign-in details in local storage.
- You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you block them, you won’t be able to sign in.
- Using a private or incognito window removes everything when you close it.
