1. Introduction
This Cookie Notice explains how Margintop Solutions Pvt. Ltd. ("Margintop Solutions", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with MDESK, including the marketing website (mdesk.net), the institute administration portal (app.mdesk.net), the teacher attendance app (including the progressive web app), and related pages that link to this notice (together, the "Sites").
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They can help a site remember you, keep you signed in, store a preference, or understand how the site is used.
A session cookie expires when you close the browser. A persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it.
First-party and third-party
- First-party cookies and storage are set by MDESK on our own domains (for example mdesk.net or app.mdesk.net).
- Third-party cookies are set by another company on their domain — for example Google when you use Google Sign-In, or Meta, TikTok, or LinkedIn when you connect a social account in the marketing module.
This notice also covers similar technologies we actually use: browser web storage (local storage and session storage), progressive-web-app cache on the teacher app, and device tokens for push notifications where those are enabled. We do not use Flash cookies, session-replay tools, or advertising pixels on the Sites today.
3. What we use today
As of the Last Updated date, the marketing website does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party marketing pixels. We may use a small number of essential cookies that the host or browser needs to deliver the page.
The institute portal and teacher app use storage mainly so you can stay signed in and so the product remembers your workspace. That is strictly necessary to run the Service.
Marketing website (mdesk.net)
| Type | What it does | Who sets it | How to control it |
|---|
| Essential | Deliver the public site and keep basic security (for example HTTPS). We do not currently set advertising or analytics cookies on this site. | MDESK / hosting | Required for the site to load. You can block cookies in the browser; the page may still work. |
| Contact form | When you send the contact form, the message is delivered through EmailJS so we can reply. That is a form submission, not an advertising cookie on page load. | EmailJS (on submit) | Do not submit the form. See the Privacy Policy for how we handle messages. |
| WhatsApp / maps / social links | Links that open WhatsApp, Google, or another site are not MDESK cookies. Those services have their own notices once you leave mdesk.net. | The destination site | Do not follow the link, or review that service’s cookie tools. |
Institute portal and teacher app
| Type | What it does | Who sets it | How to control it |
|---|
| Essential — sign-in | Authentication tokens so you stay signed in. These are typically stored in the browser’s local storage, not as an advertising cookie. | MDESK (first-party) | Sign out. Clearing site data also removes the token; you will need to sign in again. |
| Functionality | Preferences such as language, theme, selected institute, and sidebar state, so the workspace looks the same next time. | MDESK (first-party) | Clear site data in the browser. Preferences will reset. |
| Teacher-app cache | The attendance app may cache class lists and marks so teachers can keep working on a poor connection. | MDESK (first-party PWA) | Sign out and clear site data, or remove the app from the home screen. |
| Google Sign-In | If you choose “Sign in with Google”, Google sets cookies on its own domain to complete that login. We receive the account details Google provides (name, email, photo) as described in the Privacy Policy. | Google | Use email/password or teacher ID instead. You can also manage Google’s cookies in your Google account and browser. |
| Push notifications | If notifications are enabled, a device token (FCM) is stored so we can send class or account alerts you asked for. | Google / Firebase, at our instruction | Turn notifications off in the product or in the device settings. |
| Marketing module (optional) | Only if an authorised user connects Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn. Those platforms set their own cookies on their domains during the connection. MDESK stores access tokens as secrets so scheduled posts can publish. | Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn (when you connect) | Do not connect an account. Disconnect in MDESK and revoke the app in that platform’s settings. |
4. Categories we do not use today
We list these so the notice stays clear if our practices change. We will update this page before we rely on a new category for the Sites.
Not in use on mdesk.net today
- Advertising or retargeting cookies, including interest-based ads
- Analytics cookies (for example Google Analytics) or session-replay tools
- Social plugins that drop tracking cookies on the marketing site itself
- Email tracking pixels in marketing campaigns sent from this website
5. Your choices
Because we do not currently use non-essential cookies on the marketing website, we do not show a cookie-preference banner that asks you to accept analytics or ads. If we add those categories later, we will update this notice and, where the law requires it, provide a way to refuse them.
What you can do now
- Sign out of MDESK to clear session tokens.
- Clear cookies and site data for mdesk.net, app.mdesk.net, and teacher.mdesk.net in your browser settings. You will need to sign in again, and saved preferences will reset.
- Block cookies in the browser. The marketing site should still load; the apps may not stay signed in or cache attendance offline.
- Refuse Google Sign-In and use a password or teacher ID instead.
- Disconnect social accounts in the marketing module and revoke MDESK in that platform’s app settings.
Most browsers accept cookies until you change the setting. Help for common browsers is published by the browser maker (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). You will need to repeat those settings on each device and browser you use.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Notice when we add a provider, a new kind of storage, or a legal duty. We will change the Last Updated date on this page. Material changes that introduce non-essential cookies on the marketing website will also be described in the Privacy Policy.
