Cookie Policy
At EduBlossoms, we use cookies and modern browser storage mechanisms to enhance site performance, remember your college search filters, and ensure a seamless counseling advisory experience.
Zero Intrusive Ad-Network Tracking
EduBlossoms does not use aggressive cross-site tracking cookies to serve third-party banner advertisements. Our cookies exist solely to store your session state, course filters, and optimize portal load speed.
1. Overview & Purpose
This Cookie Policy explains how EduBlossoms ("we", "our", or "us") utilizes cookies, web beacons, and browser local storage when you visit our portal. It outlines what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their usage.
3. Essential & Functional Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the core functionality of EduBlossoms. Without these cookies, services like student account login, eligibility checker navigation, and form submissions cannot function properly:
Session Auth
Maintains your authenticated student or admin session securely during navigation.
Filter State
Remembers selected stream (MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, Engineering) and state preferences.
CSRF Protection
Prevents cross-site request forgery security attacks on contact and enquiry forms.
4. Analytics & Performance Storage
We use aggregated, anonymized performance metrics (e.g. Google Analytics / Vercel Web Analytics) to understand which college pages and NEET cutoff tools are most visited, helping us optimize portal load speed and mobile responsiveness.
5. Session & Preference Storage
In addition to standard cookies, we use HTML5 `localStorage` and `sessionStorage` to store non-sensitive theme settings (dark/light mode) and temporary form draft data so you do not lose entered NEET ranks upon refreshing.
6. Third-Party Integrated Widgets
Some pages embed third-party components like YouTube video campus tours, Google Maps campus locations, or WhatsApp counselor chat widgets. These third-party providers may set their own technical cookies according to their privacy policies.
7. Managing & Disabling Cookies
You have the full right to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can modify your internet browser controls to block or erase cookies:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Safari (iOS/Mac): Settings > Safari > Block All Cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
Note: Disabling essential cookies may prevent certain interactive tools (like NEET Eligibility Predictor) from saving your session state.
