Cookie policy
This policy explains how India Market Lens (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what information they collect, how long it is kept, and the choices you have.
Our approach
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser; local and session storage work in a similar way, and this policy covers all of them. We use them to run the site, keep you signed in, remember your watchlist and notes, and understand how the site is used. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not sell or rent your information.
Your cookie choice
Accept allows analytics cookies and our own visit measurement. Reject keeps analytics cookies off, stops our visit measurement and removes any analytics cookies already set. Strictly necessary storage is used either way, because the site cannot work without it. You can change your choice here at any time.
If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a rejection.

Our own measurement records, for each page view, the time, the page, the site you came from, your browser’s user-agent and your IP address, which we resolve once to an approximate city and country. Detailed records are deleted after 7 days; after that we keep only daily totals that identify no one. This data stays on our server and is not shared.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use this website: which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive and the type of browser and device used. This helps us improve the site. Analytics cookies (listed above) are set only if you accept; without your consent Google Analytics measures visits without cookies, so one visit cannot be linked to another. It is not used for advertising, and it is not used on the site’s administration pages.
Google processes this information under its own privacy policy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics on all websites with Google’s browser add-on.
