At a Glance: Vindhya Millets Cookie Architecture
Vindhya Millets practices Privacy by Default: strictly necessary cookies (such as cart memory and CSRF security tokens) run automatically to enable e-commerce functions, while optional analytics and marketing scripts require your informed consent. We never use cookies to store credit card numbers, passwords, or personal banking credentials.
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by your internet browser. They serve as memory aids for websites, allowing them to recognize your device across multiple pages or during return visits. Modern browsers also employ localStorage to store user UI preferences securely without transmitting unnecessary data in every HTTP header.
2. Why We Use Cookies
At Vindhya Millets, we employ cookies and local storage tokens to:
- Maintain your active cart items while you browse between different millet flours, snacks, and biscuits.
- Protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and automated security attacks.
- Remember your selected interface language (Hindi / English) and color theme mode.
- Measure aggregated website speed, page load latency, and checkout flow health to fix navigation glitches.
