Cookie policy

No cookies are set by this site. A few preferences are kept in your browser's own storage so the site remembers how you like it.

Last updated 9 August 2026

Do we use cookies?

No. Ananta Naad does not set a single cookie of its own. There is no session cookie, no analytics cookie and no advertising cookie. What the site does use is your browser's local storage, which works differently: the values stay on your device and are never sent with your requests.

What is stored, and why

This is the complete list, taken directly from the code that writes it.

Strictly necessary

an:brand-loader-played
sessionStorage
Marks that the opening title animation has already played, so it is not repeated while you browse.
Kept: Cleared when you close the browser tab.
an:consent:v1
localStorage
Records your last consent decision, and when it was made, so the site can honour it without asking again. Written only after you actually make a choice.
Kept: Until you reset it on the Privacy choices page or clear this site's data.

Preferences

an-theme
localStorage
Remembers whether you chose the dark or light appearance.
Kept: Until you clear this site's data.
an:favourites:v1
localStorage
The list of mantra addresses you saved with the heart control, plus the date you saved each one.
Kept: Until you remove them or clear this site's data.
an:calendar-location:v1
localStorage
The city you selected for panchang timings, so the calendar opens on the same place next time.
Kept: Until you change it or clear this site's data.
an:calendar-recent-locations:v1
localStorage
Up to four recently chosen cities, shown at the top of the location selector.
Kept: Until you clear this site's data.

Nothing in this category is stored on your device.

Third-party technology

Some external services are contacted while you use the site. YouTube in particular can set its own cookies once you start a chant — we use the privacy-enhanced player, so nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play.

YouTube (Google)
Video playback
Only when you start a chant. Players are embedded through youtube-nocookie.com and are not loaded until you press play.
What they can see: Your IP address, device and browser information, and playback activity for that video.

On every page load, to download the site's typefaces.

Never from your browser. Panchang timings are requested by our server and cached; your device is not involved.
What they can see: Nothing about you.
Their privacy notice
Google Privacy & Messaging (certified CMP)
Not in use
Not loaded. The integration exists in code but no consent platform is configured, so nothing is fetched.
What they can see: Nothing today.

Advertising cookies

None. Advertising is not enabled on this site: no advertising script is loaded and no publisher identifier is present. If advertising is ever introduced, this section will list every cookie it sets, and in regions that require it you will be asked before any of it loads.

Your choices

There are no consent choices to make yet: this site loads no advertising or tracking technology, so no consent banner is shown. If that ever changes, a "Privacy choices" control will appear here and in the footer.

You can also clear everything at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings. That removes your theme, your saved mantras and your chosen city.

If you have a question about anything on this page, email anantanaad.studio@gmail.com.
