Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Grams to Tola ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage) to recognize you when you visit our website at Grams to Tola. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
We also use Local Storage (specifically localStorage), which allows us to save data on your device similarly to cookies but with more capacity and better security.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for two main purposes:
- Strictly Necessary: To remember your preferences (like whether you have accepted or declined our cookie banner).
- Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve the user experience.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential)
These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. We use Local Storage to remember your consent choice so we don't annoy you with the popup on every page load.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Local Storage | Stores your preference (granted or denied) regarding analytics tracking. | Persistent |
B. Analytics & Performance
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this purpose.
Note: These cookies are NOT set unless you explicitly click "Accept" or "Agree" on our cookie banner.
| Name | Service | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Used to distinguish unique users. | 2 years |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics | Used to persist session state. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Used to distinguish unique users. | 24 hours |
For more information on Google Analytics cookies, please see the official Google Analytics Cookie Usage page.
4. Your Consent & Privacy (Google Consent Mode)
We value your privacy. We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2, which means:
- Default State: When you first visit our site, Google Analytics tags are loaded in a "denied" state. No personal data is stored, and no cookies are written to your device.
- Anonymized Pings: Google may receive basic, anonymized signals (pings) to indicate that a visit occurred, but this data is not linked to your identity.
- Activation: Analytics cookies are only activated and full tracking only begins after you grant permission.
5. How to Manage or Withdraw Consent
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can change your preferences at any time:
- Reset Consent: If you wish to change your mind (e.g., withdraw consent after accepting), you can do so by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in our website footer. This will clear your saved preference and reload the page, allowing you to opt-out.
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality may be restricted.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
