Cookie & Storage Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Updated: October 16, 2026 | Entity: Grova Tech Private Limited
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. Modern web applications also use localStorage to store preferences directly in your browser without transmitting them across network requests.
Grova Tech Private Limited (“Grova Tech”) believes in privacy by design. We strictly limit storage to what is necessary to operate our website and respect your accessibility accommodations.
2. Categories of Storage We Use
A. Essential & Functional Storage (Strictly Necessary)
These are required for basic navigation, security, and theme rendering. They do not track your browsing across third-party websites.
grova-theme: Stores your preference between Dark Mode and Light Mode (via our hanging lightbulb pull-cord switch). Stored locally inlocalStorage.grova-cookie-consent: Stores your preference regarding cookie consent so you are not prompted on every page load.
B. Accessibility Preferences (Universal Design)
In accordance with WCAG 2.2 principles, our floating Accessibility Hub stores your chosen accommodations:
grova-a11y: Stores your text sizing (100%, 115%, 130%), high contrast toggle, dyslexia font spacing, link highlight flags, and pause motion preferences. Stored locally; never transmitted to external servers.
C. Analytics & Performance (Opt-In Only)
We only load non-identifiable, aggregated telemetry to understand page load speeds and device viewport distribution if you explicitly choose “Accept All” on our Cookie Consent banner. If you choose “Essential Only”, no analytics scripts are executed.
3. Zero Third-Party Advertising Trackers
Grova Tech does not partner with ad tech brokers, data brokers, or retargeting networks. We do not place third-party marketing cookies, Meta Pixels, or social tracker beacons on our website.
4. Managing Your Preferences
You can modify or reset your cookie and accessibility storage preferences at any time:
- Via Our Accessibility Widget: Click the floating “A11y” button on the bottom left of any page and select “Reset to Defaults”.
- Via Your Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to block or alert you about cookies. Please note that blocking essential local storage will reset your preferred theme to default dark mode upon page reload.
