Cookies & Local Storage
How the public website and connected application use browser storage.
Effective / last updated: 12 September 2026 · Version 2026-09-12
Public information pages
These public information pages do not install analytics, advertising, or social-media tracking scripts and do not set their own cookies or browser-storage entries. Your browser can still send existing cookies for this domain with a request. Hosting infrastructure processes connection information needed to deliver pages.
Essential application cookies
The connected application uses askdada_session to keep you signed in, with a normal lifetime of up to seven days. Google sign-in uses a short-lived cs_google security cookie for the authentication flow, normally up to ten minutes. A cs_preview cookie may remember an interface-preview choice for up to one day. Authentication cookies are configured with HttpOnly and SameSite protections and Secure in production. Signing out removes the active login cookie.
Local preferences and temporary state
The application may store interface preferences such as theme, answer appearance, or device/capture selections in browser storage. Temporary session state and audio recovery buffers may also be held on your device. Clearing site data can reset preferences or sign you out. Blocking essential cookies can prevent account access and sign-in from working.
Third-party choices
If you visit Google to sign in or Razorpay to pay, those sites may use their own cookies and privacy controls. Their notices apply on their sites. These pages do not use a decorative 'Accept all' banner because they do not add optional tracking. Any future optional tracking that requires consent must be accompanied by the appropriate choice before it operates.
