Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Golden Kundli uses cookies and similar browser technologies, which choices are optional, and how you can change them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. The Golden Kundli also uses related technologies such as browser local storage and session storage. These are referred to collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

Essential cookies and session cookies

We use essential cookies that are strictly necessary for Golden Kundli to function. These include:

• Session cookie: Keeps you signed in while you use the platform. Without this, you would be logged out on every page.
• Authentication cookie: Stores a signed session token. It does not contain your password. This is set when you log in and cleared when you log out or the session expires.
• Security tokens: Short-lived tokens used to protect form submissions and authenticated requests.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled through Golden Kundli because the platform cannot function without them. You may clear them through your browser settings, but doing so will log you out.

Admin session

Administrator accounts use the same session cookie mechanism described above. No separate admin cookie is set. Admin access is controlled by role verification on the server for each request.

Push notification subscription storage

If you choose to enable push notifications, Golden Kundli stores your push subscription data (a push endpoint URL and encryption keys provided by your browser) in our database linked to your account. This is not stored as a cookie on your device — it is stored on our servers. You can withdraw consent at any time by disabling push notifications in your browser settings or device settings, or from your account settings page.

Service worker and PWA installation

When you install Golden Kundli as a Progressive Web App (PWA) or visit it in a browser that supports service workers, a service worker may cache certain pages and assets. This cache:

• Allows Golden Kundli to load faster on repeat visits
• Enables an offline fallback page to appear when there is no internet
• Does not cache your personal data or generated Granths
• Can be cleared from your browser's "Clear site data" setting

Payments (when enabled)

Payments are currently disabled. When payments are enabled in future, Golden Kundli will use Stripe as its payment processor. Stripe may set its own cookies on payment-related pages for fraud prevention and payment session management. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not have access to Stripe's cookies or the data they contain.

Analytics and tracking

Golden Kundli offers a separate choice for privacy-safe Google Analytics. It is not loaded unless you choose “Allow analytics.” If allowed, we measure page and feature usage without intentionally sending names, email addresses, birth details, locations, private questions, or report text. Choosing “Essential only” leaves the core service available. We do not sell personal data or use advertising cookies.

Contact and support data

When you submit a contact or support form, the information you provide (name, email, message) is stored in our database and used only to respond to your request. This data is not used for marketing and is not shared with third parties except where required by law. No cookie is set by the contact form itself.

No sale of personal data

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data or cookie-derived data to any third party. Cookies used by Golden Kundli are for operational purposes only.

Your choices

Your analytics choice is stored in this browser. You can change or withdraw it immediately below. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View the cookies stored for a site
• Delete some or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all third-party cookies

Blocking or deleting essential cookies will cause Golden Kundli to stop working correctly — you will be unable to log in or stay signed in. Blocking non-essential cookies (analytics, Stripe) will not affect core platform functionality.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features or technologies. Changes will be reflected by the updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of Golden Kundli after changes means you accept the updated policy.
