Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 4, 2026

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies help Status Raja provide a secure, personalized, and efficient experience. We categorize cookies based on function and consent requirements. Optional (non-essential) cookies are off by default and require explicit opt-in.

Essential Cookies

Required for core functionality, security, and session management. Examples include authentication tokens, load balancing identifiers, and CSRF tokens. These typically expire at the end of the session or within hours. Examples used by this site include the Laravel session cookie and Cloudflare security/performance cookies.

Analytics Cookies (with consent)

Used to understand how visitors interact with the site, which content resonates, and where we can improve. We configure analytics to minimize personal data, aggregate results, and honor opt-outs. Expiration ranges from hours to months based on vendor defaults.

Advertising Cookies (with consent)

Used to display non-intrusive, relevant ads and measure their performance. We respect your personalization choices and frequency capping. Expiration varies by vendor, often days to months.

Google AdSense & DoubleClick: Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to improve advertising. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Preferences & Localization

Store language, theme, and consent choices. Expiration commonly 6–12 months to avoid repeatedly asking for preferences.

Third-party services used (with consent): Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Facebook Pixel. These tools only load when the corresponding consent category is enabled.

Other Third-Party Cookies

We may embed content from other sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, or social media platforms. These sites may set their own cookies ("other cookies") to track interaction with their embedded content. We do not control these cookies, and you should check the relevant third-party privacy policies for more information.

Examples and Expiration Timelines
  • consent_choice (preferences): saves your analytics/ads toggles, expires in 12 months.
  • session_id (essential): maintains secure session continuity, session-based expiration.
  • lang (preferences): stores language selection, expires in 6 months.
  • ad_freq_cap (advertising, consent): prevents repetitive ads, expires in 30–90 days.

Cookie Management

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

Browser-Specific Instructions

Most modern browsers let you block categories, delete cookies, and set site exceptions. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

Consent Controls

Use our consent banner to enable or disable Analytics, Advertising/Marketing, and Preferences/Personalization. Optional cookies are off by default and require opt-in. You can reopen cookie settings anytime via the floating button.

When you save changes, the page reloads to apply settings across scripts and ads. We store your consent preferences for 12 months on this device and browser.

When you turn off analytics/marketing/personalization, we remove our first‑party personalization cookie (e.g., “recent_tags”). We stop loading third‑party tools for future requests; however, previously set third‑party cookies may persist until you clear them in your browser.

Do Not Track

Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. You can use the range of other tools we provide to control data collection and use, including the ability to opt out of receiving marketing from us as described above.

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

  • Essential: disabling may break core features like CSRF protection or secure sessions.
  • Analytics: we lose insights that help improve content relevance and performance.
  • Advertising: you may still see context-based ads, but personalization and frequency capping are reduced.
  • Preferences: language and theme may reset and you may see repeated consent prompts.

Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
