This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how IndiasBuy (indiasbuy.com) uses them and how you can control them. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the website remember information between pages and visits, such as the items in your cart or the fact that you are signed in.
Websites also use similar technologies, such as browser local storage and pixels (small pieces of code that record when a page is viewed). In this policy, "cookies" covers these as well.
How we use cookies
Our store runs on Shopify, so most cookies on this website are set by Shopify to run the store. Some may also be set by services that work with the store, such as the payment gateway at checkout.
Types of cookies
| Type | What it is used for | Your choice |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeping items in your cart, running the checkout, keeping you signed in during a session, security and fraud prevention, and remembering any cookie choices you make. | Needed for the store to work. Blocking them stops the cart and checkout from working. |
| Preferences | Remembering settings such as region or language, and making browsing easier, for example by remembering products you viewed. | Can be blocked in your browser, though some features may not work as expected. |
| Analytics | Helping us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors arrive, so that we can improve it. | Can be blocked in your browser, or declined through any cookie choices offered on the website. |
| Marketing | Where used, measuring advertising and showing relevant ads, as described in our Privacy Policy. | Can be blocked in your browser, or declined through any cookie choices offered on the website. |
Third-party cookies
Some features are provided by other companies, such as the payment gateway, a chat widget or embedded content. These providers may set their own cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control.
How to control cookies
You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- see the cookies stored and delete some or all of them;
- block third-party cookies, or cookies from particular websites;
- block all cookies, although this will stop the cart and checkout from working; and
- use a private or incognito window, which removes that session's cookies when you close it.
In most browsers, look under Settings for a section called Privacy, Privacy and security, or Cookies and site permissions. On an iPhone or iPad, Safari's options are in the Settings app. Steps vary by browser version and device, so check your browser's help pages if you cannot find them. Settings apply to each browser and device separately.
If the website shows a cookie banner or preferences option, you can also use it to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Note that deleting cookies may empty your cart and sign you out.
Changes and questions
We may update this policy when the cookies we use change. To ask about your personal data, see our data request page or contact us.
