How we use cookies, sessions, and browser storage on vpn.mitkar.com full transparency.
We do NOT use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies. Our cookie and storage usage is strictly limited to what is necessary for platform functionality.
This Cookie Policy explains exactly what cookies and browser storage mechanisms are used on vpn.mitkar.com, why they are used, and how you can manage them. By using our platform, you consent to the use of the essential cookies and storage mechanisms described below.
Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser. They serve essential functions like maintaining your login session across page loads, remembering your preferences, and enabling core platform features. Without essential session cookies, features like admin panel login and guest chat identity persistence would not be possible.
Browser storage mechanisms (localStorage and sessionStorage) are similar but stored in the browser itself rather than sent to the server with every request. They are used for client-side data caching and state management.
Below is a full and transparent list of every cookie, localStorage key, and sessionStorage key used on our platform:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Essential |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID | HTTP Cookie | PHP session identifier stores admin login state (role, username, avatar, logged-in flag). Required for authentication and role-based access control. | Session (until browser close) | ? Yes |
| Key | Data Stored | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_gchat_email | Email address (optional, user-provided) | Guest chat identity remembers your email between sessions so you don't need to re-enter it on every page visit. | Until manually cleared |
_gchat_phone | Phone number (optional, user-provided) | Guest chat identity remembers your phone number between sessions for support continuity. | Until manually cleared |
_chatUnread | Unread message count (integer) | Tracks the number of unread admin replies in the guest chat widget. Used to display the notification badge on the chat button. | Until manually cleared or chat opened |
| Key | Data Stored | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_fxRates | Exchange rate data (JSON) | Cached currency exchange rates from open.er-api.com. Used to display source code prices in your local currency without making repeated API calls. | Until browser tab is closed |
_geoCountry | Country code (string, e.g., "IN") | Cached geo-location country code from ipapi.co. Used for displaying relevant payment gateway options and local currency. | Until browser tab is closed |

To clear guest chat identity data or cached exchange rate data from your browser:
You can configure your browser to block all cookies or only third-party cookies. However, blocking the PHPSESSID cookie will prevent admin panel login from working. The guest chat features and currency display may also be affected if localStorage is blocked.
