This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on our website and how you can control them.
Last Updated: March 30, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Arihant Trading Company uses cookies and related technologies when you visit our website. Cookies help websites operate efficiently, remember preferences, measure engagement, and improve performance. We use cookies in a responsible and purpose-limited manner to support usability, security, and analytics. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, where broader information handling practices are explained. By continuing to use our site with your browser settings enabled, you acknowledge that certain cookies may be placed in accordance with this policy.
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They typically contain an identifier and limited metadata that helps the website recognize a returning browser, maintain continuity across pages, and remember selected preferences. Cookies generally do not contain full personal identity data on their own, but in some contexts they may become associated with user profiles when combined with other information. Along with cookies, modern websites may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, tags, scripts, and pixels for comparable technical functions.
We use cookies to ensure core website functionality, improve loading behavior, maintain session consistency, and understand how visitors interact with content. Cookie-based analytics help us identify which pages are useful, where users face friction, and what improvements are needed for better navigation. Cookies can also support security controls by helping detect suspicious traffic patterns and repeated abuse attempts. Our goal is practical website reliability and better user experience, not invasive tracking. We avoid unnecessary cookie usage and review tools periodically to keep usage aligned with legitimate business requirements.
Essential cookies help basic features work, including page routing, load balancing, and form interactions. Without these, parts of the site may fail. Performance or analytics cookies help measure traffic trends, error rates, and page usage in aggregate. Functional cookies may remember user preferences such as language or interface settings where applicable. In limited contexts, security cookies may support request integrity checks and abuse prevention. We classify cookies by purpose and seek to keep their role clear, proportionate, and tied to genuine operational necessity.
Session cookies are temporary and typically expire when you close your browser. They are commonly used for continuity during a single visit, such as moving between pages without losing context. Persistent cookies remain for a specified duration and help remember returning visitors or repeated settings over time. Persistent duration can vary by use case, technical need, and tool configuration. We aim to use practical durations rather than indefinite retention. Even when persistent cookies are used, users can clear them manually at any time through browser settings.
First-party cookies are set directly by our domain and are primarily used for internal website operation and performance understanding. Third-party cookies may be set by external services integrated into our pages, such as embedded maps, analytics providers, CDN resources, or security tools. These providers operate under their own policies and may process technical identifiers according to their frameworks. While we carefully choose trusted service providers, we do not control all aspects of third-party cookie behavior. Users should review third-party privacy and cookie notices for complete transparency.
Besides cookies, our website may rely on related technologies including browser local storage, session storage, JavaScript tags, and server logs that support similar purposes such as functionality, analytics, and security diagnostics. These tools may store small pieces of information to improve site responsiveness and maintain user experience consistency. In some cases, tracking pixels or script calls can register page views or event signals. We treat these technologies with the same governance principles used for cookies: necessity, transparency, minimization, and clear alignment with legitimate website operation objectives.
Where required by law, cookie usage may be based on consent for non-essential categories. Essential cookies necessary for basic operation may continue to function even when optional categories are disabled. You can modify cookie behavior through browser settings, privacy extensions, or device controls. Many browsers allow blocking all cookies, deleting stored cookies, setting site-specific permissions, and clearing browsing data on exit. Consent preferences can also be revisited periodically. Please note that disabling broad categories may reduce website convenience, limit some embedded features, or affect page functionality.
Most modern browsers provide cookie management in privacy or security settings. You can usually view stored cookies, delete individual items, block third-party cookies, or disable all cookies. Some browsers allow alert-based prompts before storage, while others offer automatic clearing when the browser closes. If multiple devices or browsers are used, preferences must be configured separately on each environment. In enterprise settings, device administrators may enforce policy controls that override local changes. For current instructions, refer to the support documentation of your specific browser and operating system version.
If you block essential cookies, some website features may stop functioning correctly, including form submission continuity, navigation consistency, session controls, or embedded components. Blocking analytics cookies generally does not prevent basic browsing, but it may reduce our ability to understand performance issues and improve user experience. Blocking third-party cookies can affect map widgets, external media behavior, and certain security checks. We encourage users to choose a balanced configuration based on personal preference and functionality needs. You remain in control and can revise settings at any time.
Certain cookies and related signals may support security operations such as request validation, bot filtering, repeated failure detection, and suspicious traffic correlation. These controls help protect website integrity, prevent abuse of contact forms, and reduce malicious automation attempts. Security-related identifiers are generally technical in nature and retained only as long as needed for defense and audit objectives. We do not use security controls as a pretext for excessive profiling. Their purpose is limited to maintaining availability, protecting data channels, and safeguarding legitimate user experience.
Cookie retention duration depends on category, technical role, and provider configuration. We periodically review active integrations to remove redundant scripts, limit unnecessary persistence, and ensure continued relevance. Where third-party vendors are used, we assess practical reliability, privacy posture, and business necessity before ongoing implementation. We also monitor for changes that could affect user transparency. Because external providers may update their systems independently, cookie behavior can evolve over time. Regular review helps us maintain responsible controls while supporting functional and performance objectives of the website.
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect legal developments, technology updates, vendor changes, or operational improvements. The latest version is published on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our website after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law. If you have questions about cookie usage, consent controls, or related privacy matters, please contact us through official contact information provided on our website. We are committed to practical clarity and responsible digital practices.
