Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 · Last Updated: November 2, 2026
1. Executive Overview
This Cookie Policy provides clear, transparent information regarding how Singamsetti Poorna Mani Teja (SPMT.) uses cookies and related browser storage technologies on https://spmteja.xyz/.
🔒 Zero Commercial Trackers Guarantee:
This portfolio website does not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels (e.g. Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn Insight), cross-site tracking beacons, or intrusive analytics cookies. You are not profiled or tracked across the web.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device by a web server when you visit a website. They are typically used to maintain user sessions, remember preferences, and analyze site performance.
3. How This Website Uses Storage Technologies
Instead of persistent tracking cookies, this website relies exclusively on strictly functional client-side state:
| Category | Mechanism | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Hosting Edge Cookies (TLS/DDoS) | Vercel edge security, bot protection, and DDoS prevention. | Session / Up to 24h |
| Functional State | Browser Memory / LocalStorage | Respecting prefers-reduced-motion accessibility settings and in-page scroll chapter navigation. | Session / Persistent until cleared |
| Third-Party Tracking | None | No advertising, marketing, or behavioral tracking cookies exist. | N/A |
4. Why There Is No Cookie Consent Banner
Under the European ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, and Indian DPDP Act 2023, consent banners are required only when a website deploys non-essential cookies (such as third-party analytics, retargeting pixels, or behavioral profiling). Because this portfolio deploys only strictly necessary and functional technical mechanisms, a cookie banner is legally unnecessary and would introduce needless visual friction.
5. How to Control and Clear Storage
You can manage, restrict, or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection
