Cookies Policy

Last updated: 17 October 2026

This page explains how Nakshara uses cookies and browser storage, and how our server-side page-view logging works. For the full picture of what data we process, read this together with the Privacy Policy.

What is a cookie

  • • A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser. localStorage and sessionStorage store similar information on your device.

What we use today

  • • Without your consent we set no analytics or advertising cookies on nakshara.app.
  • • Your banner choice (Accept or Reject) is saved in localStorage on your own device, under the key nakshara_consent_v1, so we do not ask again on every page. It is not sent to us.
  • • If you arrive from a link with campaign tags (utm_source and similar), we keep those tags in sessionStorage for the length of your visit and send them to our own server only if you submit an order, so we know which campaign it came from. It clears when you close the tab. This is not an advertising tool, but it is stored whatever you choose on the banner.
  • • The kundli-matching form uses localStorage on your own device to remember your in-progress order, so you do not have to start over on a page reload. It is not transmitted to us.
  • • If you sign in, your session token is kept in localStorage under the key nakshara_auth_session so you stay signed in. It is sent to our server with your requests and removed when you sign out. Sessions expire after 30 days.
  • • If you chat with Aanya, the ID of your conversation is kept in localStorage under the key nakshara_sakhi_session_v1 for up to 24 hours, so the chat can pick up where you left off on the next page. The ID is sent to our server; the messages themselves are stored on our server, not on your device.
  • • Before a form or the chat opens a session, Cloudflare Turnstile runs a bot check in your browser. It is a security measure, not tracking, and works without advertising cookies.
  • • During checkout, our payment processors, Razorpay (razorpay.com) and Stripe (stripe.com): may set their own cookies on their own domains as part of processing your payment and preventing fraud. Those cookies are governed by their respective policies: see razorpay.com/privacy and stripe.com/cookie-settings.

Advertising measurement (only if you accept)

  • • The first time you visit, a banner asks whether we may measure which Google ads lead to a purchase. Accept and Reject are the same size and weight. Until you press Accept, nothing from Google is loaded and Google’s consent settings stay on denied.
  • • If you press Accept: your browser loads Google’s tag (googletagmanager.com), which may set cookies such as _gcl_au on this device and sends Google the page you are on. When you finish paying for a report, we send Google one purchase event with the amount you paid, the currency, and our order number. It carries no name, email, phone number or birth details. We tell Google not to use it for ad personalisation.
  • • If you press Reject, or close the page without choosing, none of this happens. Reports work the same either way.
  • • The tag is not loaded in the Nakshara Android and iOS apps.
  • • You can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings in the footer. Changing from Accept to Reject clears Google’s cookies from nakshara.app and reloads the page. Cookies Google set earlier on its own domains are managed in your browser or your Google account.

Server-side page-view logging (no cookies)

  • • On every page load, your browser sends a small beacon request to our own funnel API. The request carries the path you visited and the referring URL. Our server records the source IP address it saw, so we can count visitors, spot outages, and block abuse without a third-party analytics product.
  • • The same page load also sends the path, referrer and your browser’s user-agent string to Aktai Ltd’s internal page-view counter at api.aktai.app. That counter does not set cookies and does not build a persistent visitor profile; it feeds an aggregate dashboard shared with Aktai’s other properties. This is a transfer between systems of the same controller, not to a third-party analytics vendor.
  • • This activity does not use cookies and is not affected by the banner. It is described here in full so you can see exactly what is happening.

How you can control this

  • • You can clear cookies and site data for nakshara.app any time from your browser settings (Settings → Privacy → Site data).
  • • To suppress the server-side page-view beacons described above, use a network blocker such as uBlock Origin or your browser’s built-in tracking protection, or block requests to api.nakshara.app/api/track/pageview and api.aktai.app/page-views/track. Blocking these will not affect the reports you paid for.
  • • See our Cookie Settings page for a summary.

Changes to this policy

  • • If we add another analytics or advertising tool in future, it will sit behind the same consent banner and we will update this page first. Aktai Ltd may amend this notice at any time at its sole discretion. Amendments take effect when posted; the date above always reflects the current version. Your continued use of the service after that date constitutes acceptance of the amended notice. Where an amendment materially affects rights over data we already hold about you, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users on the contact channel they used to reach us.
