Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies, web beacons, and browser local storage are utilized on MHTC (mhtc.co.in).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by web developers to make websites function efficiently, improve browsing experience, and provide usage statistics to site administrators. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device until they expire or are manually cleared).

2. Our Local Storage Framework

MHTC does not use first-party tracking cookies. Instead, we use HTML5 Local Storage (`localStorage`) to retain user configurations in specific interactive tools.

• Local Storage Function: Local storage acts similarly to a cookie, holding simple variables (such as logged temperature entries in the BBT Tracker) directly in your browser's private database.
• Data Ownership: This data remains physically on your hardware device. MHTC does not transmit, review, or collect this data on its servers.
• Data Removal: You can erase this data at any time by clicking the clear buttons in the tools or clearing your browser's website data for `mhtc.co.in`.

3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to display ads when you visit MHTC. These partners use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.

• Purpose: Advertising cookies allow ad vendors to show you relevant promotions while preventing you from seeing the same ad repeatedly.
• DART Cookie Opt-Out: Google uses the DART cookie to serve personalized ads. You can opt out of Google's interest-based advertising settings by visiting your Google Account Ad Settings.

4. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies:

• Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to accept cookies, alert you when a cookie is placed, or reject all cookies. Refer to your browser's "Help" or "Options" menu for instructions.
• Opt-Out Portals: You can opt out of interest-based ads served by participating vendors by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out pages.
• Do Not Track (DNT): If you enable the "Do Not Track" setting in your browser, we respect this signal, and third-party advertising networks on our site are instructed not to perform behavioral tracking.
