COOKIE POLICY

Introduction and scope

Parekh Integrated Services Private Limited and its affiliates (hereinafter “Parekh”, “we”, “us”, “our”) are responsible for the collection and processing of your data as they relate to cookies used in this website.

This Cookie Policy (hereinafter “Policy”) will explain how this website is using cookies to provide clear and relevant information to you, on what choices you have in terms of controlling what happens when you access our website.

The Policy uses the term ‘cookies’ to refer to cookies and similar technologies (such as, for example, Local Shared Objects – commonly referred to as “flash cookies”, web beacons or bugs, including transparent clear gifs). The gathered information concerns data that could allow us to identify web users/visitors by associating and processing them with other data kept by third parties (such as, for example, the IP address, domain and registration numbers of the computers used by people connecting to the website). These data are used and processed only for statistical purposes.

The Policy is an integral and substantial part of the Privacy Policy, therefore, we recommend that you also read our Privacy Policy to know more about Parekh’s general commitment to data protection.

The Policy applies to this website only.

 

  1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
  2. A cookie is a small file, typically consisting of letters and numbers, downloaded on to a device when the user accesses the website. Cookies are text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is typically used to make the site work as you expect it. They are used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

    Cookies are useful because they improve the website’s functionality and overall performance and provide the users with a more personalised experience. They also give insights on the use of our website by our visitors and help Us to understand how visitors are using our website and the services provided therein.

     

  3. WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF COOKIES?
  4. Session and persistent cookies

    Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser) or they can be stored for longer periods of time.

     

    Session cookies expire after a browser session. Session cookies allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around a site. They could also be used for security when a user is accessing internet banking or to facilitate use of webmail. Their use is strictly limited to the purpose of transmitting data (made up of random numbers created by the server) identifying the specific session and necessary to allow a safe and efficient website surfing by avoiding any other computer methods that could potentially compromise the users’ privacy.

    Persistent cookies are stored persistently on a users’ device in between browser sessions. Persistent cookies allow the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site.

     

    First and third-party cookies

    Cookies can be classified as ‘first’ or ‘third’ party depending on the website or domain placing the cookie.

     

    First-party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by the domain visited by the user – the website displayed in the URL window: i.e., cookies set by Parekh on this website.

    Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user: i.e., cookies, which are set by companies and web sites other than Parekh, such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

     

  5. WHAT CATEGORIES OF COOKIES ARE USED ON THIS WEBSITE?

    Strictly Necessary Cookies
