Cookie Policy
The cookies and browser storage gaddibook.com and the Gaddibook app use, and how to control them.
Last updated · Applies to gaddibook.com, the Gaddibook web app and the Gaddibook mobile apps
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Apps and websites can also keep small pieces of information in your browser or phone (“local storage”). This policy explains what gaddibook.com, the Gaddibook web app and the Gaddibook mobile apps store, and why. It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
2. Cookies we use
We use only cookies that are needed for the website and app to work and to keep them secure. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.
| Cookie | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|
csrftoken | Security — protects forms (such as the contact form) against cross-site request forgery | Up to 1 year |
sessionid | Keeps you signed in on the parts of Gaddibook that use a server session, and shows form messages | Until you sign out or it expires (up to 2 weeks) |
On our website, the language you choose is part of the web address (for example /hi/), so no cookie is needed to remember it.
3. Browser and app storage
The Gaddibook web app and mobile apps keep a few items on your device so you stay logged in and the app remembers your choices:
- Sign-in tokens and your basic user profile — so you do not have to enter an OTP every time. They are removed when you log out or when the device is signed out from Login Devices.
- The business you selected, if you manage more than one.
- Preferences such as favourite reports, sidebar layout, POS godown and display options.
- A referral code from a referral link, until you sign up.
This information stays on your device and is used only by Gaddibook.
4. Third-party cookies
When you pay for a plan, the payment window is provided by Razorpay, which may set its own cookies to process the payment securely and prevent fraud. If a page shows an embedded video (for example a tutorial on YouTube), that service may set cookies when you play it. These are governed by those companies’ own policies.
5. Analytics and error reports
On our public website (gaddibook.com) we use Ahrefs Web Analytics to count visits: which pages are read and where visitors come from. It sets no cookies, uses no identifiers and shows us only totals, never who you are. It is not used for advertising.
In the Gaddibook app we use Sentry to receive reports when something breaks, so we can fix it. It sets no cookies, and the reports contain technical details of the error, not the contents of your bills, parties or forms.
We still do not use advertising cookies. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
6. Your choices
You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Because we only use necessary cookies, blocking them may stop the contact form, sign-in or payments from working. Logging out of Gaddibook clears its sign-in information from your device.
