1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how DevAura Technologies ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We respect your privacy and provide full transparency and control over the cookies stored on your device.

2. Essential & Necessary Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary to enable core site navigation and secure authentication. These cannot be disabled as the website cannot function properly without them:

next-auth.session-token / __Secure-next-auth.session-token: Strictly necessary HTTP-Only, Secure cookie used to maintain encrypted user authentication sessions for administrative features. Expires upon session logout or timeout.
next-auth.csrf-token: Prevents Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks to protect form submissions.
cookieConsent (localStorage): Stores your explicit cookie preference choice (accepted_all, accepted_necessary, or declined_all) so you aren't prompted on every visit.

3. Analytics & Performance Telemetry

We use performance analytics to understand visitor interaction, measure page speed, and improve user experience. These scripts are strictly gated and only loaded if you explicitly select "Accept All Cookies":

Vercel Analytics: Collects anonymous telemetry regarding page views, traffic sources, and device types without persistent cross-site tracking.
Vercel Speed Insights: Measures Real User Monitoring (RUM) metrics including Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) to optimize page load speeds.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You can change your consent preferences at any time. Click the "Manage Cookie Preferences" link in our website footer to reset your choice and bring up the cookie consent panel. Alternatively, you can block or delete cookies through your web browser settings.
