Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Browser storage works in a similar way, but stays in your browser and isn’t sent with every request. Both help websites work, remember preferences and measure use.
Defined terms
- Cookie
- A small text file stored by your browser and sent back to the website that set it, or to a third party, on later requests.
- Session storage
- Space in your browser that a single website can use while a tab is open. It is deleted when you close the tab, and it is not sent anywhere on its own.
- Third-party request
- When a page asks another company’s server for a file, such as a font or an image. That server sees your IP address, like any website you visit.
Technical Guider is a New Delhi-based software development, automation and performance-marketing business, and its website, technicalguider.com, sets no cookies for visitors. The few small values it keeps in your browser, and the services it connects to, are listed below.
At a glanceAs at 12 October 2026
- 0cookies set for visitors by our website
- 0analytics or advertising tags switched on
- 1stored value sent to us, only inside a brief you send
Our own storage (functional)
Our pages store a few small values in your browser’s session storage: whether you have already seen the intro animation in this visit, whether you closed a pinned contact bar, which page, site or campaign link (such as utm tags, gclid or fbclid) brought you to the Website in this visit, and, while you fill in a project brief, your unsent answers (never your name, number or email) so a reload doesn’t wipe them. None of these values is sent to us on its own. The campaign source is added to a brief only when you press Send, so we know which page or ad led to your enquiry (see our Privacy Policy). All of them are deleted when you close the tab.
Analytics (not active)
Our pages are prepared for Google Analytics, through Google Tag Manager, to understand which pages are visited, how far people scroll and which buttons or forms are used. As at the date above, no analytics tag is active, so nothing is measured and no analytics cookies are set. If we switch analytics on, it will record that a form was used and on which page, never what you typed into it.
Advertising (not active)
The Meta Pixel and Google Ads conversion tags may be used in future to measure our own advertising. None is active as at the date above. The Meta Conversions API, if we use it, sends similar event data from our server rather than from your browser.
Embedded videos
Client review videos are embedded from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. Their preview images load from YouTube’s image servers, which receive your IP address but set no cookies. YouTube sets no cookies before you press play. When you press play, YouTube and Google may set cookies or use browser storage under Google’s privacy policy.
Requests to Google that set no cookies
Our fonts load from Google Fonts, so Google’s servers receive your IP address when a page loads. No cookies are set. Our pages also include a Google Tag Manager loader, ready for analytics to be switched on later; as at the date above, it runs no tags and sets no cookies.
Links to other services
WhatsApp, our Google Business Profile, hisabtime.com (opens in a new tab) and other services we link to set their own cookies when you visit them.
Staff sign-in (strictly necessary)
Our team signs in to our enquiries desk, at admin.technicalguider.com, with two strictly necessary cookies: one keeps them signed in, and one recognises a browser they have signed in on before, so that someone guessing passwords cannot lock them out. Both are set only when a staff member signs in, never for visitors, and hold no information about you.

Consent
No analytics or advertising cookies are set today, so there is nothing to consent to yet. Before we switch any on, we will ask for your consent where the law requires it, and give you a way to change your choice at any time.

Blocking cookies or clearing site data won’t stop the Website from working. The intro animation may simply play again, and an unsent brief may be cleared.
We will update this policy when the cookies, storage or tags we use change, and before any analytics or advertising tag is switched on. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version.
