SadaivSatya API

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners about how users interact with their site.

Cookies are not executable programs — they cannot carry viruses or install malware. They simply store small amounts of data that websites can later read back. Most modern browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your settings to decline or delete them.

SadaivSatya API uses cookies across our website (sadavsatya.in) and developer dashboard to provide a seamless and secure experience. This policy tells you exactly which cookies we use, why, and how to control them.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website and dashboard to function. They enable core features such as authentication, security (CSRF protection), and API key management. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, but we inform you of them in the spirit of transparency.

2. Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make — such as your UI theme (dark mode), preferred news categories, and notification settings — so you don't have to re-enter them each visit. Disabling these cookies means your preferences will reset on every session.

3. Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics (with IP anonymisation enabled) to understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, average session duration, and technical errors encountered. This data is aggregated and never used to personally identify you. Analytics cookies help us improve our documentation, dashboard UX, and API performance.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages may embed third-party content (e.g., YouTube documentation videos, GitHub embeds). These third parties may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. We have no control over these cookies. Where possible, we use privacy-first embeds (youtube-nocookie.com, etc.).
