Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, like your preferences and login state, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. This policy also covers similar technologies such as local storage and pixels, referred to collectively as "cookies" below.

2. Why We Use Cookies

AyuChat uses cookies on ayuchat.in and app.ayuchat.in to:

• Keep you securely logged in to your AyuChat dashboard
• Protect your account actions against cross-site request forgery
• Remember basic preferences, such as dismissed banners

We do not currently run analytics or advertising cookies on our website. If that changes, this policy will be updated before those cookies are set, and you will be asked for consent where the law requires it.

3. Cookie Categories

Cookies are commonly grouped into essential and non-essential categories. AyuChat currently sets essential cookies only.

• Essential  Required for the website and dashboard to function, including sign-in and security. These cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality.

4. Cookies We Use

Cookie	Category	Purpose	Duration
ayuchat_session	Essential	Keeps you logged in to your AyuChat dashboard securely.	Session
ayuchat_csrf	Essential	Protects account actions from cross-site request forgery.	Session
cookie_consent	Essential	Remembers your cookie preference choices.	12 months

This table lists every cookie AyuChat currently sets. It will be updated if we introduce any additional cookies.

5. Managing Your Cookies

Because AyuChat currently sets essential cookies only, there are no optional cookies to accept or reject at this time. If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in future, we will provide clear controls to manage them and will ask for your consent where required.

You can control cookies directly through your browser settings, which let you delete existing cookies, block cookies from specific or all websites, and set preferences for future visits. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using parts of your AyuChat dashboard.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some services we rely on, such as our payment processor (Razorpay), may set their own cookies when you interact with them. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. AyuChat does not control third-party cookies directly and cannot guarantee their behavior.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the latest revision, and material changes will be communicated on this page.
