Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 10, 2026 · Effective Date: March 10, 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to site owners, and enhance user experience.

This Cookie Policy explains how Kruti.io uses cookies and similar technologies on kruti.io.

2. Cookies We Use

Kruti.io uses only essential cookies required for the platform to function. We do not use advertising, analytics, or social media tracking cookies.

CookiePurposeTypeDuration

3. Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party services integrated with Kruti.io may set their own cookies when you interact with their features:

  • Razorpay (Payment Processing): Razorpay’s checkout script loads on dashboard pages where a subscription action is available — not only once you open the payment modal — and may set cookies for session management, fraud detection and payment processing from that point. Loading the script also discloses your IP address and browser to Razorpay. These cookies are governed by Razorpay’s Privacy Policy.
  • LinkedIn (OAuth Authentication): During the LinkedIn sign-in flow, LinkedIn may set cookies on their domain for authentication and security purposes. These are governed by LinkedIn’s Cookie Policy.

Note: Google AI API calls (Gemini) are made server-side and do not result in any client-side cookies being set by Google.

4. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, Kruti.io may use browser local storage for the following:

  • Theme preference (theme): your dark or light mode selection, so it persists between visits.
  • Onboarding draft: while you are completing onboarding, your answers are saved in local storage so you do not lose them if you close the tab. This includes the professional details you type — your headline, industry, summary, skills, tone and target audience — and it is cleared once onboarding is submitted.
  • Trial notice dismissal: a record that you dismissed the trial-ending notice, so it is not shown again the same day.

These items are written by your browser and are not themselves transmitted to us. Be aware, though, that the onboarding answers held in the draft above are the same answers you then submit to us when you finish onboarding, and which we send to Google’s Gemini API to generate your content. The local copy is a convenience, not a guarantee that the information stays on your device.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View what cookies are stored on your device
  • Delete individual cookies or all cookies
  • Block cookies from specific or all websites
  • Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies

Important: If you block or delete essential cookies (particularly the next-auth.session-token), you will be unable to stay signed in to Kruti.io and will need to re-authenticate on each visit.

For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, please refer to your browser’s help documentation:

6. Do Not Track Signals

Kruti.io does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) browser signals. However, since we do not use any third-party advertising or analytics tracking cookies, your browsing on our platform is not tracked for advertising purposes regardless of your DNT setting.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page when changes are made.
