Cookies & Tracking

An itemized account of everything the site stores in your browser, and everything it deliberately does not.

Last updated 20 August 2026

Short answer

BhuBharati Explorer sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads no ad or tracking scripts. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to yet.

What is stored in your browser

Mechanism Used for Persists across visits?
In-memory page state (JavaScript variables) Holding the currently fetched village's records so you can search, sort, filter, and export them No — cleared on reload or tab close
Browser cache (standard HTTP caching) Reusing styles.css, app.js, and icon assets so the page loads faster on repeat visits Yes, for static assets only — not personal or record data

We do not use document.cookie, localStorage, sessionStorage, or IndexedDB to remember you, your searches, or your location selections between visits.

What we don't use

  • No first-party or third-party advertising cookies
  • No analytics platform (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no PostHog, no Mixpanel, and so on)
  • No session-replay or heatmap scripts
  • No cross-site tracking pixels
  • No fingerprinting scripts

Third-party requests

Your browser does make a small number of third-party requests, all functional rather than tracking-related:

  • Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) — loads the DM Sans and Fraunces typefaces used across the site.
  • Our own API origin — the frontend calls the BhuBharati Explorer backend to fetch districts, mandals, villages, and land records. This is first-party to the product, not a third-party tracker.

If that ever changes

Should we ever add analytics, error-tracking (e.g. an exception monitor), or preference storage, we will: list it here by name and purpose, keep it to the minimum needed to run or debug the service, and avoid third-party advertising or cross-site tracking categories entirely. The "Last updated" date above will move whenever this page's content changes.
