1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and SDKs (within our mobile apps) serve comparable purposes and are also covered by this policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

BrahmanRishta uses the following categories of cookies:

Essential / Session Cookies

Required for core functionality such as keeping you logged in, maintaining your session while browsing matches, securing forms, and remembering items in your shortlist.

Can be disabled: No — disabling these will prevent the Platform from functioning correctly.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how members use BrahmanRishta — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and which features are most popular — so we can improve the matchmaking experience.

Can be disabled: Yes — you can opt out via your browser settings or our cookie consent banner.

Preference Cookies

Remember your settings such as language preference, search filters, display preferences, and recently viewed profiles for a smoother experience on return visits.

Can be disabled: Yes — though some personalisation features may not work as expected.

Marketing Cookies

Used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and, where applicable, to show you relevant BrahmanRishta promotions on other platforms. We do not use these to share your data with unrelated advertisers.

Can be disabled: Yes — you can opt out at any time via the cookie consent banner.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on BrahmanRishta are placed by trusted third-party service providers that help us operate and improve the Platform, such as:

  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) — to understand aggregate usage patterns.
  • Payment gateways (e.g., Razorpay) — to securely process subscription payments and detect fraud.
  • Customer support tools — to provide chat support and manage support tickets.

These third parties may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers for more information.
