Cookies & Local Storage Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They are commonly used for tracking, advertising, and remembering user preferences.

Local Storage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data directly in your browser. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically sent to servers with every request, making it more privacy-friendly.

Trade in Bharat uses Google Analytics cookies to understand how readers interact with the platform, helping us improve the content and experience. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our platform. This helps us improve the reading experience, identify popular content, and detect technical issues. Google Analytics sets the following cookies:

Google Analytics helps us answer questions like: Which articles are most read? Where do readers spend the most time? What search terms bring visitors to the platform? This data is used exclusively to improve Trade in Bharat.

Trade in Bharat may use browser local storage for essential platform functions. Local storage data is stored only in your browser, is not sent to our servers with every request, and is under your full control.

Examples of local storage usage may include remembering your theme preference or recently viewed articles. This data stays on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Trade in Bharat is committed to your privacy. We do not use:

• Advertising cookies — no retargeting or personalised ads
• Facebook Pixel or similar marketing trackers
• Social media trackers — no embedded tracking widgets
• Cross-site tracking — we do not track you across other websites
• Fingerprinting — we do not create unique device identifiers

We use Google Analytics solely to understand platform usage patterns and improve the reading experience. We do not share your data with advertisers or sell it to third parties.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking in two ways:

• Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on — this prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites.
• Adjust your browser's cookie settings to block third-party cookies or specifically block cookies from google-analytics.com.

You can clear cookies and local storage data at any time through your browser settings:

2. Go to the Application tab → Storage

Note: Clearing cookies and local storage will not affect any data stored on our servers (such as your newsletter subscription). It will only remove locally stored data from your browser.

We may update this Cookies & Local Storage Policy to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated through a notice on the platform. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
