Cookie Policy

Effective Date: August 23, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how IndiHunt Launchpad Private Limited ("IndiHunt", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, tracking pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at indihunt.in ("Website").


1. WHAT ARE COOKIES & LOCAL STORAGE?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember user preferences, authenticate sessions, and provide aggregate analytical insights.

In addition to cookies, we use HTML5 `localStorage` to preserve offline state fallbacks, dark mode preferences, draft submissions, and campaign metrics without tracking your personal browsing across unrelated websites.

2. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE

1. Essential & Strictly Necessary Cookies

Required for core site operation, authentication tokens, Supabase security cookies, and CSRF protection. Without these, secure login and submission features cannot function.

2. Functionality & Preference Cookies

Remember your selected theme (dark/light mode), category filter states, Made in India toggles, and UI preferences across visits.

3. Analytics & Traffic Performance (DataFast Analytics)

We use DataFast analytics (`https://datafa.st/js/script.js`) to gather aggregated, privacy-preserving usage metrics such as visitor numbers, page views, and referring sources. DataFast analytics run with `defer` and `afterInteractive` strategies.

4. Advertising & Impression Measurement Cookies

Used by our self-serve ad platform to tally ad campaign impressions, record valid user clicks, and enforce daily budget limits accurately without selling your data to third-party ad brokers.

3. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL (GPC) & DO NOT TRACK

IndiHunt respects Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by modern web browsers or privacy extensions. When your browser transmits a GPC signal (`Sec-GPC: 1`), our system automatically opts you out of non-essential third-party analytics and ad impression tracking script loads.

4. HOW CAN YOU CONTROL OR DISABLE COOKIES?

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still navigate IndiHunt, but certain interactive features (like staying logged in or posting comments) may be limited.

Visit www.allaboutcookies.org for instructions on managing cookies across major web browsers.
