This Cookie Policy explains how Balamurugan's portfolio website uses cookies, browser local storage, and similar browser technologies.
The website is designed to minimize cookies and unnecessary tracking. The portfolio does not intentionally use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies as part of its normal functionality.
1. Browser Storage
The website may use browser local storage to remember preferences such as your selected light or dark theme.
The contact form may also temporarily store an unfinished draft locally in your browser so that information is not lost when you navigate away from the page or refresh it.
These values are stored locally on your device and are not intended to be transmitted to the website's server unless you submit the relevant information through the website.
2. Cookies
The portfolio does not intentionally place non-essential cookies for advertising, profiling, behavioral tracking, or similar purposes.
Some technical functionality or third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies where required for their operation.
3. No Advertising or Profiling Cookies
The website does not intentionally use advertising cookies to create advertising profiles or track visitors across unrelated websites.
If advertising, analytics, authentication, embedded services, or other technologies that use cookies or similar tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated as appropriate.
4. Third-Party Services
The website may contain links to or integrations with third-party services such as GitHub, LinkedIn, email services, project demonstrations, scheduling platforms, or other external services.
When you visit or interact with a third-party service, that service may use its own cookies, local storage, or similar technologies.
These technologies are controlled by the respective third-party provider and are subject to that provider's own privacy policy and terms.
5. Managing Cookies and Browser Storage
Most modern web browsers allow you to view, block, delete, or otherwise manage cookies and local storage through their settings.
You can clear browser storage at any time. Doing so may remove saved preferences such as your theme selection and any unfinished contact-form draft stored on your device.
6. Essential Website Functionality
Certain browser technologies may be necessary for the website to provide its intended functionality.
Disabling browser storage or blocking certain technologies may affect some website features or preferences.
7. Changes to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated if the website introduces new cookies, analytics, authentication, embedded services, advertising, local-storage functionality, or other browser technologies.
The latest version will be published on this page together with the applicable effective date.
