Cookies Policy
Effective date: 7 September 2025 · Applies to trade.nilespectra.com and related online properties operated by Nile Spectra Private Limited (“NILE SPECTRA™”).
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixels/tags (together, “cookies”). They help our website function, keep sessions secure, remember preferences, and measure performance.
2) How we use cookies
- Strictly Necessary: required to operate the site, maintain security (e.g., CSRF protection), and support forms/sessions.
- Functional: remember settings such as language, last-visited tabs, and UI preferences.
- Analytics: help us understand usage (e.g., GA4), improve content, and fix issues.
- Advertising & Attribution: measure campaign performance and conversions (e.g., Google Ads). Used only with your consent where required.
We do not sell personal data. For details about personal data processing, see our Privacy Policy.
3) Your choices & Consent Mode
On your first visit, we ask for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject non-essential, or manage categories. We implement Google’s Consent Mode v2—if you reject non-essential cookies, analytics and ads storage are set to denied and related tags adapt accordingly.
- Change your choices anytime: click the “🍪 Privacy” bubble (bottom-left) to reopen preferences.
- Browser controls: you can block/delete cookies via your browser settings. Doing so may impact site features.
Some cookies are essential and cannot be switched off because the site will not function properly without them.
4) Types of cookies we set
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Site operation, session integrity, CSRF protection, load balancing. | Session ID, CSRF token, cookie to remember consent choice. | Session / up to 12 months |
| Functional | Preferences such as language, view mode, last-used tabs. | Locale, remember-me flags, UI state. | Session / up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage metrics, performance diagnostics (e.g., GA4). | Google Analytics identifiers (if consented). | Up to 24 months (by provider) |
| Advertising & Attribution | Ad conversion measurement, remarketing (if enabled and consented). | Google Ads tags, click ID (gclid) passthrough. | Up to 24 months (by provider) |
The exact names and durations may vary over time as we improve our site and vendors update their implementations.
5) Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us. These parties may process data as independent controllers under their own policies. Typical examples include:
- Google Analytics (GA4) — aggregated site usage analytics (only if consented).
- Google Ads — conversion measurement and attribution (only if consented).
- Payment gateways (e.g., Cashfree) — to securely process payments and prevent fraud when you complete a transaction.
- CDN / security providers — for reliability, caching, and abuse prevention.
We recommend reviewing the privacy/cookie policies of these providers for details about their practices and retention.
6) Managing cookies
- Preferences on this site: click the “🍪 Privacy” bubble to change your choices (enable/disable Analytics and Ads categories).
- Browser controls: you can block, limit, or delete cookies via your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser/vendor.
- Do Not Track (DNT): there is no common standard for DNT signals; we honor legal signals where applicable and your explicit consent choices via our banner.
