Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators. Cookies do not contain viruses or malicious code and cannot access other files on your device.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser ("session cookies"). Others remain on your device until they expire or you delete them ("persistent cookies"). We use both types, as described below.

2. How we use cookies

nishkaalliance.com uses a minimal set of cookies. We categorise them as strictly necessary (required for core website function) and analytics (optional, providing aggregate usage data). We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or social media cookies of any kind.

Analytics cookies are loaded only after you click "Accept all" or enable analytics cookies via "Customise preferences" in our cookie consent banner. Until you provide explicit consent, no analytics cookies are set and no tracking occurs.

4. Cookie consent mechanism

When you first visit nishkaalliance.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed. This banner offers three options:

• Accept all: Enables all cookies, including analytics cookies. Your browsing data will be included in aggregate analytics reports.
• Reject non-essential: Only the strictly necessary cookie (nishka-cookie-consent) is set. No analytics cookies are placed. The website functions normally.
• Customise preferences: Opens a preference panel where you can enable or disable analytics cookies individually.

Your choice is stored in the nishka-cookie-consent cookie for 12 months. After 12 months, the banner reappears so you can review and update your consent.

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Manage cookie preferences" in the website footer.

5. How to manage cookies in your browser

In addition to our consent banner, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. The nishka-cookie-consent cookie is required for the consent banner to function correctly. If this cookie is blocked or deleted, the consent banner will reappear on each visit.

6. What happens without cookies

The website functions normally without analytics cookies. All product information, Technical Data Sheets, regulatory documents, contact forms, and sample request forms work without any analytics cookies being set. The only functional impact of declining all non-essential cookies is that your consent preference will not be remembered between sessions, and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.

7. Third-party cookies

The only third-party cookies on nishkaalliance.com are from Google Analytics (_ga and _ga_XYZBBR76Y3). These are placed by Google LLC and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy. These cookies are never placed without your explicit consent.

We do not embed social media widgets, advertising pixels, or any other third-party tracking technology on this Website.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new features that require cookies, or if applicable regulations require changes to how we obtain or record consent. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Where changes are material, the consent banner will reappear to allow you to review and update your preferences.
