1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, analyse traffic, and enable certain features. Cookies cannot carry viruses or install software on your device.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and pixel tags alongside cookies — this policy covers all of these collectively.

3. Essential vs. Optional Cookies
Essential Cookies
These are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core website functionality (such as form submissions or navigation). No consent is required for essential cookies under Indian law.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, how long people spend, and where they come from. This data is aggregated and anonymous. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Marketing Cookies
These track visits from our paid advertising campaigns (Google Ads, Meta Ads) and may be used to build remarketing audiences. These cookies may link your browser to data held by third parties (Google, Meta).
4. How to Control Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Please note that disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect your ability to use our website — you will simply receive less personalised advertising and we will have less data to improve the site.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the privacy policies of the relevant third parties:
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for doing so. You can use the browser controls described above to limit cookie tracking.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as we add new tools or as regulations change. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent update.
