Cookies FAQ

Niraiya uses three types of cookies: essential session cookies for maintaining your browser session during file processing, anonymous analytics cookies to improve our service performance, and security cookies to prevent abuse and ensure secure connections. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings. However, session cookies are required for the Excel password recovery process to function properly. Without them, you won't be able to complete the recovery workflow.

No. Our cookies do not contain any personal information or file content. They only store anonymous session identifiers and basic preferences. We never track your browsing behavior outside of Niraiya or share cookie data with third parties.

Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Analytics cookies expire after 24 hours. Security cookies may last up to 30 days to maintain protection against automated attacks. You can manually clear all cookies from your browser settings at any time.

We use minimal third-party cookies only for essential services like payment processing (Stripe) and basic analytics. These third-party cookies are governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not allow advertising networks or social media trackers.
