How We Use Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences such as language, theme, and form auto-fill to personalise your experience.

4. Marketing & Targeting Cookies

With your consent, we place cookies from advertising partners (e.g., Meta, Google Ads) to show you relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. These are only set after you accept optional cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

Embedded content and integrations (YouTube videos, Razorpay checkout, Crisp chat) may set their own cookies. These are governed by their respective privacy policies, over which we have no control.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. We currently do not alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we respect your choices through our cookie consent mechanism above.
