Last Updated: July 15, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, through its Centre for Creative Learning (CCL) ("IITGN", "We", "Us"), uses cookies and similar technologies on https://jnv.ccl.iitgandhinagar.ac.in ("Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on Your device by a website You visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owner.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies only to the extent necessary to operate the Website securely and reliably. We do not currently use cookies for advertising, marketing, or third-party analytics purposes.
3. Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Strictly necessary | Keeps You logged in and remembers your cart/order-in-progress as You move between pages. The Website cannot function without this cookie. | Session only — deleted when You log out or close your browser |
Because this cookie is strictly necessary for the Website's core functions (login, cart, checkout), it is not covered by a cookie-consent banner and cannot be individually opted out of while still using those features.
4. Local Storage (Not a Cookie)
The Website also stores your light/dark display theme preference in your browser's local storage. This is not a cookie, is not sent to our servers, contains no personal data, and exists purely so the Website remembers your display preference on your next visit from the same browser.
5. Third-Party Cookies
The Website does not currently embed third-party advertising or analytics services that set their own cookies. If a hero-carousel slide links to an embedded YouTube video, YouTube may set its own cookies once You interact with that embedded player, in accordance with Google's own cookie policy, which is outside our control.
6. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow some control of cookies through browser settings, including viewing, deleting, and blocking cookies from being set. Please note that blocking the strictly necessary session cookie will prevent You from logging in, adding items to a cart, or completing an Order on this Website.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, including if the Website begins using additional cookies (for example, analytics). Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
