1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and — where you allow it — measure how the site is used. Some technologies we describe here (like local storage) are not strictly cookies but are treated the same way.
2. How we use cookies
We only place non-essential cookies (such as analytics) after you opt in. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the site cannot function without them. This approach follows the ePrivacy rules, the GDPR, and India's DPDP Act.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
Always active — required for security and core functionality.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| wh_consent | WarnHack (first-party) | Stores your cookie consent choices so we don't ask again. | 180 days |
| Session / security | WarnHack (first-party) | Keeps you signed in and protects against cross-site request forgery. | Session |
4. Analytics cookies (consent required)
Set only if you allow analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation to understand aggregate usage and improve the site. Until you consent, Google Consent Mode keeps these in a denied state.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors to measure site usage. | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Persists the GA4 session state. | Up to 2 years |
5. Managing your choices
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time — it is as easy to reject as it is to accept.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may then not work as intended.
6. Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools change. For questions, email [email protected]. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data.
