How We Use Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to enhance your browsing experience.

Comment Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This means you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.

Login Cookies (If Applicable)

  • When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on ThriftRupee may include embedded content from other websites (such as YouTube videos, Twitter posts, infographics, etc.).

Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly. These third-party websites may:

  • Use their own cookies
  • Embed additional third-party tracking
  • Monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party websites to understand how they handle your data.

Who We Share Your Data With

ThriftRupee does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

Your data may be shared in the following limited circumstances:

  • Password Reset: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (such as Akismet).
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

User Accounts (If Applicable)

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
