Cookie Policy

Hey folks! Bangalore5 is your guide to bangalor’s 5 awesome vibes — Culture, Food, Tech, Nature, and History. To make your experience smoother, we use cookies (yep, the tech kind, not the edible ones). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. If you’re confused, reach out at +1 207-874-9450 or 364 Maine Mall Rd, South Portland, ME 04106, US.

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny files your browser saves when you visit our site. They help us remember stuff like your preferences or what pages you checked out. Think of them as little notes that make your next visit to Bangalore5 even better.

Types of Cookies We Use
We use a few kinds to keep things running smoothly:

Essential Cookies: These make the site work — like letting you navigate or sign up for our newsletter. Can’t turn these off, sorry!
Analytics Cookies: These tell us how you use the site (like if you love our Food section best). We use tools like Google Analytics to track visits and clicks.
Advertising Cookies: If we show ads (like for a Bangalore tour), these help make them relevant. They might track what you’ve clicked on our site or others.
Preference Cookies: These save your settings, like if you prefer reading about tech events or nature spots.
How We Use Cookies
Cookies help us:

Improve the Site: See which of bangalor’s 5 sides you’re into so we can add more of that.
Personalize Stuff: Suggest content like a heritage walk or a tech meetup based on what you’ve browsed.
Show Ads: If we have banners for local events, cookies make sure they’re relevant to you.
Track Performance: Figure out if our site’s fast or if something’s buggy.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from our partners, like:

Analytics Tools: Google Analytics helps us see how many folks visit our Culture pages.
Ad Networks: If we run ads, partners might use cookies to show you stuff you’ll like.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, so check those out if you’re curious.
Your Cookie Choices
You’ve got options! When you first visit Bangalore5, you’ll see a cookie consent pop-up (if required by law). You can:

Accept All: Let us use all cookies to give you the full experience.
Customize: Pick which cookies (like analytics or ads) you’re okay with.
Decline Non-Essential: Only essential cookies will run, but some features might not work as well.
You can also manage cookies in your browser settings. Turn them off if you want, but heads up — the site might feel a bit clunky. Check your browser’s help page for how to do this.

Data We Collect via Cookies
Cookies might grab stuff like:

Your IP address, browser type, and device info.
Pages you visit (like our Nature section) and how long you stay.
Clicks on links or ads (like a banner for a food fest).
We don’t use cookies to collect super personal stuff like your name unless you share it (like in our contact form).
How Long Cookies Last
Some cookies are “session” cookies — they vanish when you close your browser. Others are “persistent” and stick around (like for a month or a year) to remember your preferences. You can delete them anytime via your browser.

Changes to This Policy
We might update this policy if we add new features or if cookie laws change. We’ll post the new version here, so check back now and then.
