Transparency Report

Cookie Policy.

How we use "cookies" to deliver a smoother, faster cricket experience.

In Plain English: Cookies are just small text files that help us remember you. They keep you logged in, remember your favorite IPL team, and help us see which articles are trending so we can write more of them.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your browser when you visit CricDesi. They allow our servers to recognize your device and provide customized features, like saving your dashboard drafts or preferred theme.

2. How We Use Cookies

We categorize our cookies into four main types:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for the site to function. They allow you to log in securely, access the Article Editor, and maintain your session. Without these, CricDesi cannot provide basic services.

B. Performance & Analytics

We use these to understand how fans interact with our content. For example, they tell us which match reports are getting the most views. We typically use tools like Google Analytics for this purpose.

C. Functional Cookies

These remember choices you make, such as your language preference or whether you've already dismissed a notification banner.

D. Advertising & Targeting

CricDesi is supported by our partners. These cookies help deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests (e.g., cricket gear or match tickets) rather than showing you random ads.

3. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we use cookies provided by trusted third parties:

Payment Processors: Stripe or PayPal use cookies to ensure your donations are processed securely.
Social Media: If you share an article via Twitter or Facebook, those platforms may set their own tracking cookies.
Video Players: Embedded match highlights (via YouTube/Vimeo) may set cookies to track views.

4. Controlling Your Privacy

Your Control: You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, but keep in mind that our Article Editor and Login system might stop working.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, or just those from third parties. To learn how to manage cookies on your specific browser, visit the "Help" menu of that software.

5. Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
