Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit them. They serve various purposes — from ensuring security to remembering preferences to tracking browsing behaviour.

1.1 Types of Cookies

2. Our Cookie Inventory

Below is a complete, exhaustive inventory of every cookie that may be set when you visit aayushmanvidhyasociety.org. We have exactly 2 cookies, both set by our infrastructure provider Cloudflare for security purposes.

3. Cookie Categories

4. Vendor Details

Below is detailed information about every third-party service that may interact with your browser when you visit our website.

5. Our Analytics Approach

We believe you have a right to browse the internet without being tracked. That's why we chose Cloudflare Web Analytics — a privacy-first analytics tool — over popular alternatives.

6. Third-Party Services

For complete transparency, here is a summary of every external service that your browser may connect to when visiting aayushmanvidhyasociety.org:

We do not use: Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Twitter/X Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, Adobe Analytics, TikTok Pixel, Pinterest Tag, Snapchat Pixel, Google Tag Manager, or any other tracking or advertising technology.

7. Managing Cookies

7.1 Why We Don't Show a Cookie Consent Popup

You may have noticed that our website does not show an intrusive cookie consent popup. This is intentional and legally compliant. Here's why:

• Our only cookies are strictly necessary for website security
• The ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) explicitly exempts strictly necessary cookies from the consent requirement
• The GDPR does not require consent for cookies that are essential for a service explicitly requested by the user
• The DPDPA 2023 (India) does not have a cookie-specific consent requirement
• We use no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no tracking cookies

Cookie consent popups are legally required only when a website uses non-essential cookies (such as Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or social media trackers). We use none of these.

7.2 Via Your Browser Settings

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Below are instructions for major browsers:

7.3 Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you block Cloudflare's security cookies in your browser:

• You may see repeated security challenge pages (CAPTCHAs or JavaScript checks) on every page load
• Page loading may be slightly slower as security checks are re-performed

Disabling cookies will not prevent you from reading any content. All health education articles, guides, and resources remain fully accessible regardless of your cookie settings.

8. Legal Basis

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove services. When changes occur:

• The "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised
• If we ever add non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics), we will:
  • Update this policy with full technical details for every new cookie
  • Implement a proper consent mechanism before those cookies are set
  • Give you granular control over each cookie category
