Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").
In addition to traditional cookies, modern websites also use browser local storage and session storage to store small amounts of data locally on your device. These function similarly to cookies but are managed differently by your browser.
2. Essential Storage
These items are stored in your browser's local storage and are strictly necessary for the Website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
| Item | Purpose | Duration | Opt-Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| auth_token | Keeps you logged in and authenticates your requests | 60 minutes | Not available (required) |
| cart_session_id | Maintains your shopping cart contents during your session | Session | Not available (required) |
| cookie_preferences | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year | Not available (required) |
These essential items are required for the Website to operate. They do not track you for advertising or analytics purposes.
3. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies collect information in an aggregated form to help us improve our Website's structure, content, and performance.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users for page view tracking within a 24-hour period | 24 hours |
Data collected: Page views, session duration, pages visited, user flow, geographic location (approximate), browser and device type, and referral sources.
Opt-out: You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or through our cookie consent banner. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Session Recording (Microsoft Clarity)
We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how users interact with our Website through heatmaps and session recordings. This helps us identify usability issues and improve the overall user experience.
Data collected: Mouse movements, clicks, scroll behaviour, page interactions, and anonymised session recordings. Microsoft Clarity does not collect personal information such as passwords or payment details, as sensitive input fields are automatically masked.
Opt-out: You may opt out of Microsoft Clarity tracking through our cookie consent banner or by adjusting your browser cookie settings. For more information, see Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies and local storage:
5.1 Our Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit yantradhigam.com, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and session recording). You can update your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the Website.
5.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's "Settings", "Preferences", or "Privacy" section. Common options include:
- Blocking all cookies (may affect Website functionality)
- Blocking only third-party cookies
- Deleting cookies when you close your browser
- Receiving a notification before a cookie is stored
Please note that disabling essential cookies or local storage items will prevent core Website features from functioning, including login and shopping cart functionality.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When changes are made, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
