Cookie Policy | Madhu's Jewellery

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. Similar technologies - such as localStorage- do much the same job. We use the word “cookies” below to cover both.

2. What we actually use

We use a small number of technologies, and every one of them is in the table below.

What we do not use. As at 18 August 2026 this website contains no:

Google Analytics
Google Tag Manager
Google Ads or remarketing tags
Meta (Facebook) Pixel
Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, or any other heatmap or session-recording tool
A/B testing or personalisation engines
affiliate or referral tracking scripts
social media embeds or share widgets
device fingerprinting of any kind

We currently run no advertising and no analytics technology of any kind, in your browser or on our servers. If that changes, this policy will be republished as a new version and you will be asked for your choice before any such technology runs.

4. Cookies we use

5. Third-party cookies

Razorpay - checkout.razorpay.com/v1/checkout.js. Processes your payment. Loaded only when you press Place order - never on any other page - and Razorpay may set its own cookies for payment security and fraud prevention. Their privacy policy

We do not control what these providers store, and we cannot delete data they hold.

6. How you control cookies

The banner. On your first visit you can Accept All, Reject Optional, or open Manage Preferences to choose category by category. Optional categories are off until you turn them on.
Cookie Settings. The link in our footer - or - reopens the same preference centre at any time.
Your browser. Browsers can block or delete cookies. That is an additional control, not a replacement for ours - our preference centre works on its own.

7. Changing or withdrawing your choice

Open Cookie Settings, switch a category off, and press Save. Withdrawing is exactly as easy as consenting: the same screen, the same number of clicks.

When you switch a category off we stop loading the technologies in it, and we delete the first-party storage listed above that we control. We cannot delete cookies or records already held by a third party on their own domain - for that, use your browser’s controls and the provider’s own tools.

8. How long your choice lasts

Your choice is remembered for 12 months, after which we ask again. We also ask again if we publish a materially changed version of this policy. This period is our own policy - no Indian statute currently sets one.

9. Cookies and your personal data

Some of these technologies process personal data. The legal basis, what we collect and how long we keep it are in our Privacy Policy. Cookie consent and the lawful basis for processing are not the same thing - allowing a cookie category is not, by itself, the basis on which we process your order.
