3. HOW WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies for the following purposes:

3.1. Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as signing in, maintaining your session, and enabling security. Examples include:

Because these cookies are essential to provide a service you have requested, the Website will not work properly without them.

3.2. Functional / preference cookies. These allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features, such as your language preference (for example, English or Hindi) and interface settings.

3.3. Performance / analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting information such as pages/screens visited, features used, and errors encountered. We use this information to measure and improve the performance of the Services. Where feasible, analytics data is aggregated or de-identified.

3.4. Advertising cookies. We do not use cookies to serve third-party behavioural advertising on the Website. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, obtain your consent before setting such cookies.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

4.1. Some cookies are placed by our service providers to help us deliver the Services — for example, providers of authentication/identity management and analytics. These third parties may process limited data through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies and our instructions.

4.2. We do not control third-party cookies set by external websites you may reach through links on our Website. Please review the cookie and privacy policies of those websites.

5. YOUR CHOICES AND HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES

5.1. Consent. Where required by Applicable Law, we will seek your consent before placing non-essential cookies (functional and analytics cookies). Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are essential to provide the Services you request.

5.2. Cookie controls. Where we provide a cookie banner or settings tool, you can use it to accept or decline non-essential cookies, and to change your choices at any time.

5.3. Browser and device settings. Most browsers and devices let you view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the "settings", "preferences", or "privacy" menu of your browser or device. The exact steps vary by browser and device.

5.4. Effect of disabling cookies. If you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Website — including sign-in and secure areas — may not function correctly. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the core Services but may affect certain preferences and our ability to improve the Services.

6. COOKIES AND YOUR PERSONAL DATA

6.1. Some cookies may collect information that constitutes personal data under Applicable Law (for example, identifiers tied to your session or device). Where they do, our handling of that personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, including your rights and our retention practices.

7. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

7.1. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or operational reasons. The "Last Updated" date reflects the latest version. Where changes are material and required by law, we will notify you or seek fresh consent.
