COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: July 05, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Aapan Kala (“Company“, “we“, “us“, and “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://aapankala.in (“Website“). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Aapan Kala) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
What types of cookies do we use?
The table below describes the specific types of cookies we use on our Website and the purposes they serve:

How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors. We may use other technologies from time to time, like web beacons (also called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email. This allows us to monitor user traffic patterns, deliver cookies, understand referral traffic, improve site performance, and measure email marketing success.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other operations.

They may use cookies or web beacons to collect this information. The information collected does not include your name, contact details, or anything that directly identifies you unless you choose to provide that.
