Cookie & Tracking Technologies Policy
Last updated: 9 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Swadam Foods (Proprietorship: DANDEKAR VIDYA AJIT) utilizes cookies, browser local storage, and similar web technologies when you browse https://swadamfoods.eu.cc. This policy is formulated in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000.
1. What are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files stored in your web browser by websites you visit. Browser storage technologies (such as SessionStorage and LocalStorage) permit a website to remember your device preferences, items added to your cart, and page states across navigation transitions.
2. Strictly Necessary / Essential Technologies
Swadam Foods utilizes essential browser storage strictly required for the core technical operation and security of our Platform:
• Shopping Cart State: Maintains your selected items and quantities in memory so your cart is preserved while you navigate between pages or proceed to checkout.
• Theme & Display Preferences: Stores your preferred visual mode (Light or Dark theme).
• Scroll Position Restoration: Temporarily records your scroll position in session memory so that when you finish reading a policy or legal document, you are returned to the exact section of the home page without disruptive page jumps.
• Anti-Abuse & Rate-Limiting Tokens: Essential security tokens preventing automated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) requests.
Because these technologies are essential for the website to function, they cannot be turned off without disabling site features.
3. Privacy-Respecting Analytics
We utilize Google Analytics (GA4) exclusively for aggregated, non-personalized traffic and performance measurement. This service provides anonymous metrics such as page load speed, popular products viewed, and general visitor regional distribution.
Zero Advertising Tracking: Swadam Foods DOES NOT employ third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels (such as Meta/Facebook Pixel), or behavioral cross-site trackers. We do not sell, share, or syndicate user browsing activity to any advertising networks or data brokers.
4. Third-Party Payment Gateway Cookies
When you initiate a payment checkout, you are redirected to or interact with secure payment infrastructure operated by RBI-licensed payment aggregators (such as PhonePe or Razorpay). These payment providers may deploy strictly necessary security cookies to authenticate transactions, detect fraud, and maintain session continuity. Their deployment is governed by their respective privacy policies.
5. Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have full control over cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive notifications before a cookie is stored:
• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
