Sankalan This Cookie Policy explains how Sankalan Data Technologies uses cookies and similar technologies on www.sankalandtech.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — for example, whether you prefer dark mode, whether you've logged in, or whether you've already seen an ad. Cookies are sent back to the site on subsequent visits.
Cookies are not programs — they can't execute code, transmit viruses, or access your files. They are just data that a site can read and write.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the site to function. Without them, certain features — like remembering your theme preference — won't work. They cannot be disabled.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are most popular, which are least popular, and how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
2.3 Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set by our advertising partners (primarily Google AdSense) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We don't control these cookies — they're set by the third-party provider's own policy. Please refer to:
5. How to Control Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
5.1 Browser settings
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. In your browser settings, look for options like "Cookies and site data" (Chrome), "Privacy & Security" (Firefox), or "Privacy" (Safari). You can:
- Block all cookies (not recommended — many sites won't work).
- Block third-party cookies only (a good balance).
- Delete existing cookies.
- Allow cookies only for sites you trust.
5.2 Google Ad Settings
To opt out of personalized advertising from Google, visit Google Ads Settings.
5.3 Industry opt-out tools
You can also opt out of many third-party ad cookies through:
6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable cookies, some parts of this site may not work as expected:
- Your dark/light mode preference won't be remembered.
- You may see less relevant ads (which is not necessarily bad — just less personalized).
- We won't know which pages are most useful, so we can't improve as quickly.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry agreement on how sites should respond to DNT, so our site does not currently act on it. You can still use the opt-out tools in Section 5.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new services or when regulations change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version.
