Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how visitors use their site.

Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain personally identifiable information by themselves. However, when combined with other data, they can help us provide a more personalized experience.

2. How We Use Cookies

Cedron Technologies Pvt. Ltd. uses cookies for the following key purposes:

• Essential Operations: To ensure our website functions correctly and securely, including maintaining your session and enabling core navigation features.
• Performance Monitoring: To understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and where they come from.
• Preference Storage: To remember your settings and preferences so you don't have to re-enter them on every visit.
• Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect against unauthorized access, and keep our services secure.
• Analytics & Improvement: To gather aggregated, anonymized data that helps us improve the content and structure of our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to user actions such as filling in forms or setting privacy preferences. Without these, certain parts of the site cannot function.
• Functional Cookies: These allow us to remember choices you make (e.g., language preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We may use tools like Google Analytics to gather this data. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous.
• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to keep you logged in during a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and improve your experience over time.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In some instances, we may use third-party cookies from trusted partners to help us deliver our services. These may include:

• Google Analytics: For website traffic analysis and performance tracking.
• Hotjar / Microsoft Clarity: For understanding user behavior through heatmaps and session recordings (aggregated, anonymous data only).
• LinkedIn Insight Tag: For measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
• Cloudflare: For security, performance, and bot protection services.

These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we recommend reviewing them to understand how they process data.

5. Cookie Retention Periods

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Functional & preference cookies typically persist for 30–90 days.
• Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) are retained for up to 26 months.
• Security cookies are retained for the duration of your session or for up to 24 hours.

6. Managing & Disabling Cookies

You have full control over cookies. You can manage or disable them in the following ways:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).
• Opt-Out Links: For Google Analytics, you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. We respect these signals where technically feasible.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to operate.
