• Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

• Login & Screen Preferences: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, several cookies are set up to save your login information and screen display choices.

5. Data Usage & Sharing

• Automated Security: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

• Internal Network Use: Information collected is used strictly to enhance user experience, manage platform security, and streamline services within the Gurukul Online Learning Network. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to external commercial entities.

6. Data Retention Periods

• Comments & Metadata: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
