Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, enhance navigation, protect against fraudulent submissions, and provide anonymous usage metrics to website administrators.

This Cookie Policy explains how Naam Mithra Foundation ("the Trust", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies on our website.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Our website utilizes a minimal set of cookies designed purely for site functionality, security, and performance:

• Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies: Essential for the secure operation of the website. These include WordPress security verification tokens (such as nonces) that protect our Contact Form and Donation Registration Form against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and automated spam attacks. These cookies do not store personally identifiable profiles and cannot be turned off.
• Functional & Preference Cookies: These help the website remember your visual preferences, display modes, or session states so you don't need to re-enter them as you browse between pages.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: Used to gather aggregate, anonymous data regarding how visitors navigate the site (such as total page visits, popular trust initiative articles, and bounce rates). This information helps us optimize our educational content delivery and enhance accessibility.

3. Third-Party Services & Embedded Content

Some pages on our website may feature embedded elements or external links to support our mission, such as:

• Interactive Maps: Embedded maps for our registered office location in Chennai.
• Informational Media: Educational video links, YouTube embeds, or social media links (Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube).
• External Portals: Links to government public service commission exam notices or university portals.

These third-party providers may set their own independent cookies. We do not have direct control over third-party cookies; we encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie notices.

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have full control over cookie permissions through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View existing cookies stored on your device and delete them individually.
• Block third-party tracking cookies altogether.
• Set your browser to notify you whenever a website attempts to place a cookie.
• Disable all cookies across every website.

Please note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impact the proper submission and security of our online contact and donation pledge forms.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technical enhancements or statutory regulatory changes under applicable Indian IT and data protection frameworks. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated revision date.
