Cookie Policy

At pppharyanaa.com, we believe in being 100% transparent about how we collect and process data. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our portal, and how you can manage your preferences to ensure a secure browsing experience while navigating Haryana Family ID resources.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. For pppharyanaa.com, cookies act as a “memory” for the website, allowing us to remember if you have visited us before and which sections (like the Income Correction or PDF Download guides) you find most useful.

2. Why Does pppharyanaa.com Use Cookies?

We use cookies to enhance your experience and ensure our “Expert Layers” of content load quickly and accurately. We categorize our cookies into the following groups:

A. Essential (Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of the site. They allow you to move around the portal and use its basic features. Without these, our “Action Buttons” and navigational links to official government gateways (like ppp-office.haryana.gov.in) may not function correctly.

  • Purpose: To maintain session security and prevent CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attacks.

B. Analytical & Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular.

  • User Benefit: If we see thousands of users are searching for “Troubleshooting OTP Not Received,” we use this data to move that guide to our homepage for easier access. We use Google Analytics for this, which anonymizes your IP address.

C. Functional Cookies

These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

D. Advertising & Targeting Cookies

To keep our independent research free for all citizens, we may display advertisements via Google AdSense. These third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

3. Third-Party Cookies: The Government Portal Linkage

One unique aspect of pppharyanaa.com is that we provide direct links to official Haryana Government portals (SARAL, CRID, etc.). Please Note: When you click a button to “Login” or “Download” and are redirected to a .gov.in domain, that official site will have its own set of cookies. We do not have control over the cookies used by the government of Haryana. We recommend reviewing their specific policies once you land on their official servers.

4. How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser. We use these for our “Step-by-Step” registration guides.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period (usually 30 days to a year) or until you manually delete them. These help us remember your “Dark Mode” settings or your preference for English/Hindi content.

5. Your Power to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser.

  • Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
  • Device-Specific Opt-Out: Most mobile devices allow you to limit “Ad Tracking” in your phone’s privacy settings.

6. Transparency & E-E-A-T Compliance

In alignment with Google’s 2026 E-E-A-T guidelines, we want to state clearly: Cookies on pppharyanaa.com never collect Aadhaar numbers, Bank details, or Family ID passwords. Our cookies are purely for technical optimization and anonymous traffic analysis. Our author, Sh. Satyavan Singh, ensures that the site’s technical backend follows the highest standards of data integrity.

7. Updates to This Policy

The digital landscape of Haryana’s e-governance changes frequently. Consequently, we may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed.
