Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Tikkari ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies, tags, pixels, and similar technologies when you visit our website, use account services, or interact with marketing content. It describes what these technologies do, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. This page should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal data is processed more broadly.

Cookies are commonly used across modern websites to enable secure logins, remember preferences, improve user experience, analyze traffic patterns, and deliver relevant content. Some cookies are strictly necessary for core site functions, while others are optional and depend on your consent where required by law.

1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

A cookie is a small text file stored on your browser or device when you access a website. Cookies can be "session cookies" that expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies" that remain until they expire or are deleted. Similar technologies include local storage objects, tracking pixels, web beacons, SDK identifiers, and scripts that collect event data.

These tools help websites identify returning devices, remember settings, secure sessions, and understand usage behavior. They do not usually identify you directly by name, but they may be linked with account and device information depending on your activity.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for security, service delivery, account continuity, responsible marketing, and analytics. For example, cookies help us keep you logged in, protect against unauthorized access, detect suspicious traffic, save language preferences, understand which pages are most useful, and improve the overall performance of our services.

Where permitted, we may also use cookies to measure campaign effectiveness, limit repetitive advertisements, and provide promotions tailored to broad interest categories. We do not use cookies to override legal restrictions or to process sensitive data in a way prohibited by law.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for basic platform operation. They support login sessions, security checks, fraud controls, traffic balancing, and access to account functions. Without these cookies, core services may not work properly.

Functional Cookies: These remember user preferences such as language, region, display options, and interface choices. They improve convenience and reduce repeated configuration.

Performance and Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors use pages and features, including navigation paths, session duration, bounce patterns, and error rates. Analytics data is used to improve speed, stability, and usability.

Advertising and Measurement Cookies: These may be used to manage promotions, cap repeated ad exposure, measure campaign performance, and understand aggregate audience engagement. In many regions, these cookies are used only with consent.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Tikkari. Third-party cookies are set by trusted partners such as analytics providers, fraud prevention services, payment workflows, and communication platforms. Third-party providers may collect information under their own privacy terms. We carefully select partners and require contractual safeguards, but their independent processing remains subject to their own legal responsibilities.

5. Examples of Data Collected Through Cookies

Depending on cookie type, collected data may include browser and device details, IP-derived region, session identifiers, interaction timestamps, page events, feature usage, and referral metadata. Cookies may also store preference values such as chosen language. In account contexts, cookies can be associated with account sessions to maintain secure access and protect against abuse.

6. Cookie Duration

Session cookies are removed automatically when your browser closes. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless manually deleted earlier. Retention periods vary depending on purpose and legal requirements. Security-related cookies may have shorter lifespans, while preference cookies may remain longer to preserve your settings.

7. Consent and Preference Controls

Where law requires, we request your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can accept, reject, or adjust cookie categories using available preference controls. You may revisit and change choices at any time. Withdrawal of consent affects future processing only and does not invalidate prior lawful processing.

Please note that strictly necessary cookies do not rely on consent because they are required for secure and functional service delivery.

8. Browser and Device Settings

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. You can also configure alerts before cookies are stored. If you disable all cookies, some features such as account login continuity, payment flow reliability, or saved preferences may stop functioning correctly. Device-level controls, private browsing modes, and anti-tracking tools may also affect cookie behavior.

9. Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers provide "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard for interpreting these signals, our services may not respond uniformly to all such requests. We continue to evaluate recognized privacy frameworks and update practices as standards evolve.

10. Security and Fraud Prevention Technologies

Certain cookies and device identifiers are used to detect suspicious activity, prevent account takeover attempts, identify unusual transaction patterns, and protect platform integrity. These controls support legal compliance, reduce abuse risk, and protect both users and service operations.

11. International Data Use

Cookie-derived data may be processed in different countries depending on hosting, analytics, and security infrastructure. When cross-border processing occurs, we apply safeguards required under applicable law to protect personal data and maintain security standards.

12. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal requirements, technology changes, or service updates. The latest version will always appear on this page with the updated date. If changes are material, additional notice may be provided through website messaging or account communication channels.

13. Contact Us

If you have questions about our cookie practices, consent options, or data usage related to tracking technologies, please contact our support team through the official channels provided on the website. We will review your request and respond in accordance with applicable law.
