Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 29, 2026. This policy explains how otpkart uses cookies, session storage, and local storage technologies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, making future visits easier and more useful.
otpkart also uses browser localStorage and sessionStorage to store user preferences and session data client-side for performance and user experience improvements.
2. Cookies We Use
Session Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are required for the platform to function. They maintain your logged-in session so you don't need to re-enter your credentials on every page.
- PHPSESSID — PHP session identifier. Required for authentication.
Preference Storage (Functional)
We use localStorage to remember your preferences:
- _otpkart_theme — Stores your chosen theme (dark or light mode)
- _otpkart_user — Cached user profile for instant UI display on page load
- _sasto_tab — Remembers your last active dashboard tab
- _sasto_currency — Your selected display currency
- _sasto_sound — Sound notification preferences
Analytics (Third-party)
We use Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) to understand how users interact with our site. This helps us improve the service. Google Analytics sets its own cookies on your device.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies stored on your device
- Delete cookies individually or all at once
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Enable private/incognito browsing to prevent cookies from being saved
Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the otpkart platform properly.
4. Local Storage
Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to our servers. It lives only in your browser and is used purely for client-side performance improvements (e.g., showing your username instantly without a server round-trip). You can clear localStorage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing site data.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally. We will notify you of significant changes via a notice on our website.
6. Contact
