Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes only. We do not use advertising or targeting cookies, and we do not share cookie data with advertisers.

3. Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4 to analyse website traffic. GA4 operates under Google's data processing terms. We have configured GA4 with the following privacy settings:

• IP anonymisation is enabled — your full IP address is not stored by Google;
• GA4 Consent Mode v2 is implemented — analytics only fires after you grant consent via our cookie banner;
• Advertising features are disabled — data is not used for Google advertising or audience building;
• Data retention is set to 26 months.

Google may transfer data to servers outside India. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Your Cookie Choices

You have several options to control cookies:

• Cookie Banner: When you first visit, our cookie consent banner gives you the option to Accept All, Reject All, or manage granular preferences. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage.
• Change Preferences: You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for driskover.com and refreshing the page, which will trigger the consent banner again.
• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality.
• Google Analytics Opt-Out: You may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent GA4 from collecting data about your visits across websites.

5. Consent Record

When you make a cookie choice, we record your consent preference, the timestamp of your decision, your IP address, and your browser's user agent string. This record is retained for 7 years for compliance purposes. This processing is based on our legal obligation under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and, where applicable, the GDPR.

6. Do Not Track

Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals, as there is no accepted industry standard for DNT. You can control analytics cookies via the cookie banner above.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new cookies or tracking technologies. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. If we add analytics or marketing cookies beyond those described here, we will display a new consent prompt before activating them.
