Last updated: 23 April 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
The Sarmays website uses a minimal set of cookies:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |

| token | Strictly Necessary | Authentication token stored in localStorage for user session management. | Until logout |
| user | Strictly Necessary | User profile data stored in localStorage for rendering the interface. | Until logout |

| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics 4 — maintains session state and tracks page views. | 2 years |
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies (and localStorage) are essential for the website to function. These do not require consent under GDPR Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, as they are necessary to provide the service you have explicitly requested.
4. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our content, products, and user experience. Google Analytics uses cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to collect anonymized usage data such as pages visited, session duration, and general geographic region.
Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. You can learn more about how Google uses your data at Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We do not use any advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies for marketing purposes.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our newsletter service (Mailchimp) may set cookies when you interact with email links. These are governed by Mailchimp's own cookie policy. We have no control over third-party cookies.
6. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block all cookies from specific sites.
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser.
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.
7. GDPR & ePrivacy Compliance
Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. Non-essential cookies, such as analytics cookies, require user consent before being placed.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our website is used. By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of analytics cookies as described above. You may opt out at any time using browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
