Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Crest Technologies Pvt Ltd ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on gocrest.org. It supplements the Privacy Policy. The Company is incorporated at Cyber Gateway, Block C, HITEC City, Madhapur, Hyderabad, Telangana 500081, India.

1. About This Policy

gocrest.org is a marketing and documentation site for the Crest predictive drive-failure detection service. The Company uses a small number of cookies to operate the site, understand how SRE and infrastructure buyers use it, and store your preference if you dismiss the cookie notice. The Company does not use advertising or retargeting cookies. The Crest agent software itself - which runs on your storage hosts and reads drive telemetry - is separate from this website and does not set or use browser cookies.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device across page loads, store preferences, and measure usage patterns. The Company also uses local storage (a similar browser-based mechanism) to record whether you have dismissed the cookie notice.

3. How the Company Uses Cookies

Category	Examples on this site	Lifetime
Strictly necessary	Cookie-notice dismissal state (local storage), CSRF protection tokens on contact form	Session to 12 months
Preferences	UI state preferences where applicable	Up to 12 months
Analytics	Anonymised page-view and referral tracking to understand which product content SRE buyers read	Up to 13 months
Marketing	Not currently used	N/A

4. Notice and Use

The Company's cookie model for gocrest.org is notice-only: the site is aimed at professional infrastructure teams, cookies are limited in scope, and no prior consent gate is presented. A notice banner is shown to visitors who have not previously dismissed it. By continuing to use the site after seeing the notice, you acknowledge the Company's use of cookies as described in this policy. You can opt out of analytics cookies using your browser settings or by configuring a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts.

5. Universal Opt-Out Signals

The Company honours browser-transmitted Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals. Where a browser sends a GPC signal indicating that the user does not wish data to be sold or shared, the Company's cookie banner script suppresses analytics initialisation regardless of prior dismissal state. This applies to visitors from any jurisdiction where the GPC is a recognised opt-out signal.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers that the Company uses for analytics or operational purposes, acting as data processors under written agreements that restrict their use of data. Google Fonts, loaded from fonts.googleapis.com, may set its own cookies in some browsers; the Company uses font preconnect directives to limit unnecessary requests. The Company does not load third-party advertising or social media tracking scripts on gocrest.org.

7. Managing Cookies

• Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of any page to reopen the notice banner and reset your dismissal state.
• Your browser settings allow you to block, restrict, or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality (for example, form CSRF protection). See aboutcookies.org for browser-specific instructions.
• Most analytics providers offer opt-out mechanisms through browser extensions or their own opt-out pages.

8. Changes and Contact

The Company may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any change.
