Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owners.

Cookies do not contain viruses or programs. They cannot access other information stored on your device. They simply identify your browser to our server during a visit.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies".

TODO(legal): Confirm the definition paragraph and clarify if any non-cookie tracking technologies (fingerprinting, beacons) are used.

2. How We Use Cookies

Aishan Technologies uses cookies on its website for the following purposes:

Essential operation — to enable core website functionality such as page navigation and secure access
Preferences — to remember your settings and choices across visits
Analytics — to understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it
Security — to help detect and prevent malicious activity
Marketing — where consent is given, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns

TODO(legal): Confirm the current uses of cookies on the production website and remove any category not actively deployed (e.g., remove "Marketing" if no advertising cookies are used).

3. Categories of Cookies

3.1 Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They enable basic features such as page navigation, security, and access to protected areas. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information.

3.2 Functional / Preference

These cookies allow the website to remember your choices (such as language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.

3.3 Analytics / Performance

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — such as which pages are visited most often and any error messages received. The information is aggregated and used to improve website performance.

3.4 Marketing / Advertising

Where you have given consent, these cookies may be used to deliver content more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see a particular message and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns.

TODO(legal): Confirm which cookie categories are actually used on production. If Marketing cookies are not deployed, remove the section entirely.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website may be placed by third-party service providers to support functionality and analytics. These providers may collect information about your online activities across different websites. We do not control the data collected by third-party cookies.

7. Consent

Where required by applicable law — including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation — we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time by clicking the cookie preferences link in the website footer or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.
