Cookie Policy

Bhakti Arohan uses minimal browser storage, not advertising cookies.

What we store in your browser

These are small entries in your browser's local storage. They stay on your device and are not used to track you.

• Your cookie choice (bhakti-arohan-cookie-consent) — remembers that you've answered our cookie banner, so you're not asked again.
• Your panchang city (bhakti-arohan:panchang-city) — if you pick a city in Today's Panchang, it is remembered for your next visit.
• Your article reactions (bhakti-arohan-reactions) — remembers which reaction you gave an article, so the button shows your choice. The reaction itself is counted anonymously on our server.
• Your sign-in (bhakti-arohan:account-token) — only if you log in to a free account. It keeps you logged in for 30 days and is sent to our server only to identify your account. Logging out removes it.
• Your kundli chart style (bhakti-arohan:kundli-chart-style) — remembers whether you prefer North or South Indian charts.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure, in aggregate, which pages are visited. Before you accept the banner it runs in a cookieless mode and sets no analytics cookies. Once you accept, it sets its standard first-party analytics cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*), which last up to two years and are used only to count visits and understand site usage — never for advertising.

Staff and astrologer accounts

If you work on the site and sign in to our content-management area, your browser also stores a separate sign-in token for that area so you stay logged in.

Controlling storage

You can clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time through your browser's settings. Doing so will show the consent banner again on your next visit, reset your panchang city and chart style, and log you out of your account.
