Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of data that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used by modern web platforms to make websites work efficiently, remember your login session, and provide aggregated system telemetry.

In addition to standard HTTP cookies, we may utilize related browser storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage for transient UI state (like remembering your theme preferences or drawer states).

At BachatLal, we believe in minimal, privacy-first data handling. We use cookies primarily for strictly necessary functions that keep the platform secure and fast:

• Authenticating business owners and protecting dashboard sessions against unauthorized access
• Safeguarding forms against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and automated bot abuse
• Enforcing server-side rate limits to prevent denial-of-service disruptions
• Remembering interface preferences, such as selected categories or active filter tabs

No Invasive Advertising Trackers: BachatLal does not sell user data to advertising networks or embed intrusive third-party cross-site behavioral tracking cookies.

When you view business profiles containing photos or media assets hosted by our trusted infrastructure partners (such as Cloudinary or Google Maps embeds), those third-party providers may set cookies necessary for content delivery or map rendering.

We recommend reviewing the respective privacy and cookie notices of external service providers when interacting with embedded external components.

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage your cookie settings. You can configure your browser to block cookies, alert you when a cookie is placed, or delete cookies that have already been set.

To adjust your cookie preferences, refer to your browser's help documentation:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Please note: Disabling strictly essential cookies will prevent you from signing in to your Business Dashboard or managing business listings.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in legal regulations. Any updates will take effect immediately upon posting to this page.
