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