This Cookie Policy explains how OkayGST uses cookies, local storage objects, and similar browser technologies to ensure our website functions securely, remembers your active GST return period context, and enhances your browsing experience.
01 What are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. They are widely used to allow web applications to remember your session identity, prevent CSRF security attacks, and preserve preferences between page refreshes.
In addition to HTTP cookies, OkayGST utilizes HTML5 LocalStorage to store lightweight client-side user interface preferences (such as your dark/light theme setting and dismissed top announcements) without sending unnecessary data to the server on every request.

Functional & Preference Cookies
User ControlledThese allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your chosen UI appearance (Dark Theme vs. Light Theme), sidebar collapse state, and whether you have dismissed informational deadline banners.
Performance & Diagnostic Cookies
