Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit them. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login state, items in your cart or pages you've viewed.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide reporting and personalization. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by other websites (e.g., analytics providers, payment gateways) are called "third-party cookies".

Cookies do not contain viruses or malware, cannot access the data on your hard drive and do not personally identify you. They simply store information that allows the website to recognize you when you return.

2. How We Use Cookies

Sanwaliya Developers uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Functions: To enable core website functionality such as secure login to the client portal, form submissions and theme preferences.
• Performance & Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website - which pages are popular, where visitors come from, how long they stay. This helps us improve the website experience.
• Functionality: To remember your preferences (such as dark mode) so you don't have to set them each time you visit.
• Security: To help protect against fraud, abuse and unauthorized access.
• Marketing (with consent): To display relevant content and advertisements on third-party websites (only when you have explicitly consented).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as logging in, filling in forms or setting your privacy preferences. Without these cookies, certain features would not work.

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.

• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent unauthorized access.

3.2 Preference Cookies

These cookies enable the website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language, region or dark/light mode.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

3.4 Marketing Cookies (Optional)

These cookies may be set on our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

Each of these third-party services has its own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they use cookies.
