1What cookies are and what this policy covers
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. "Local storage" is a similar way for a site to remember something on your device. This policy explains how sevadhamfoundation.org uses both. We ask for your consent before using anything that is not strictly necessary, as required by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

3Cookie categories
- Strictly necessary — always on. Remembering your cookie choice, security and basic site functions. The website cannot work properly without these.
- Analytics — off unless you allow it. Helps us understand which pages help people most, with IP addresses anonymised. Uses Google Consent Mode: until you allow it, no analytics cookie is set.
- Marketing — off unless you allow it. Used only if we run advertising campaigns in future, to measure their results.
4Third-party content
Some pages show pictures from Wikimedia Commons and link to WhatsApp, YouTube or payment providers. When your browser loads such content or you click such a link, that service receives technical data such as your IP address under its own privacy policy. Messages you send through our forms or chat are delivered to our email (foundationsevadham@gmail.com) by FormSubmit, which does not set cookies on our site.
5Your choices
You can accept all, reject everything except strictly necessary storage, or choose category by category — the Accept and Reject buttons are equally easy. Change your mind at any time with the "Cookie settings" button below or the link at the bottom of every page.
You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all offer this under Privacy). The banner will then ask again.
6Changes to this policy
If we add a new cookie or category, we will update this table and ask for your consent again before using it.
