Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They serve a range of functions — keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences, helping us understand how readers use our site. Not all cookies are the same, and not all of them require your consent under Indian law and good privacy practice.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function. They do not track you for advertising or analytics purposes, and they cannot be switched off without breaking core site features. They include:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser, used to keep you navigating the site smoothly.
• Security cookies: Used to protect against cross-site request forgery and other security threats.
• Consent cookies: Used to remember your cookie consent choice so we do not ask you on every page.

Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are necessary for the legitimate operation of the site.

Analytics Cookies

We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how readers find and use our articles. Analytics cookies help us answer questions like: which articles are most helpful, where our traffic comes from, and whether our mobile layout is working correctly. This data is used to improve our editorial service and site performance.

Analytics cookies are set only with your consent. The data collected is anonymised or pseudonymised — we do not use it to build individual user profiles. We do not share raw analytics data with advertisers.

Cookies We Do Not Use

Cyber Kannadigas does not use advertising-targeting cookies, third-party tracking cookies that follow you across the web, or social-media tracking pixels that report your behaviour to social platforms.

Managing Your Cookies

When you first visit cyberkannadigs.org, a consent notice will give you the option to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the ‘Cookie Settings’ link in our site footer.

You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Here are links to guidance for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some site features.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The date of the most recent revision will be noted at the top of the policy. Questions can be sent to the editorial team.
