Cookies and similar technologies

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. We also use similar technologies (e.g. pixels, local storage) where applicable.

How we use them

• Strictly necessary / functional: Required for the Website to work (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering cookie preferences). These may be set by Squarespace (our hosting provider).
• Analytics: To measure traffic and improve content (e.g. Google Analytics). These may use cookies or similar identifiers.
• Performance / preferences (if enabled): Remember choices you make on the site.

Your choices

• You can control cookies through your browser settings (block or delete cookies).
• Where we use non-essential cookies or analytics that require consent under applicable law, we will use a cookie banner or consent tool and only enable those technologies after you accept, where required.

Analytics

We may use analytics services to understand aggregate usage of the Website. For example:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4) — may collect data such as pages viewed, scrolls, clicks, device/browser information, and general geography. Google may process this data under its own terms.
• Squarespace Analytics — may provide aggregated visit statistics as part of hosting.

Analytics data is typically aggregated and used to improve our content and user experience. We do not use analytics to identify you by name unless you have logged in or submitted a form that identifies you.

Google Analytics and India / cross-border processing
If Google or other providers process data outside India, that processing may be subject to their policies and applicable cross-border rules. You can learn more in Google’s documentation: Google Privacy Policy.

Affiliate links and third-party sites

Our Website contains links to third-party websites (including Amazon.in). Those sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices. Please read their policies before providing personal data to them.

Legal bases and consent (India)

Where the DPDP Act applies, we rely on:

• Your consent when you accept non-essential cookies/analytics through our banner, subscribe to emails, or otherwise agree.
• Legitimate uses permitted by law for operating the Website, security, and responding to requests.

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Sharing of personal data

We may share personal data with:

• Service providers (processors) who help us run the Website, such as Squarespace (hosting), Google (if you use Google Analytics), and email providers if you subscribe.
• Authorities if required by law or to protect rights and safety.

We require service providers to use personal data only as instructed and to implement appropriate safeguards.

We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Analytics data may be retained according to the settings of our analytics tools (e.g. GA4 data retention).
