Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Indian Pharma uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. Understanding how our site works behind the scenes helps you make informed choices about your browsing experience, whether you're a distributor researching a new product line, a hospital procurement officer comparing suppliers, or an NGO representative looking into rare-disease sourcing options.

Why This Policy Exists Separately from Our Privacy Policy

Cookie use sits within the broader personal data framework now governed in India by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, with its implementing Rules notified in November 2025. Global regulatory practice — from the EU's cookie consent requirements under GDPR to India's evolving DPDP framework — increasingly expects websites to disclose tracking technology use explicitly and separately from general privacy practices, which is why we maintain this as its own dedicated policy rather than folding it into a single broader document.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve a range of practical purposes — helping websites function correctly, remembering your preferences between visits, and giving site owners aggregated insight into how visitors interact with content. Cookies themselves don't identify you personally in most cases, though some can be linked to account or enquiry information if you've submitted a form.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies — required for core website functionality, including enquiry form submissions, navigation between pages, and maintaining your session as you browse product listings
• Analytics cookies — help us understand website traffic patterns, identify which product pages and regions generate the most interest, and spot areas of the site that may need improvement
• Performance cookies — used to monitor page load times and overall technical performance, ensuring the site remains fast and reliable for buyers accessing it from different countries and connection speeds

Why We Use Cookies

• To ensure the website functions correctly and consistently across different devices, browsers, and screen sizes
• To understand which products, categories, and regional pages are most relevant to our visitors — distributors, hospitals, government agencies, and NGOs each tend to browse differently, and this data helps us serve each group better
• To improve site navigation and content structure based on aggregated, anonymized visitor behavior rather than individual tracking

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings, including the option to block or delete cookies entirely. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect core website functionality, such as your ability to successfully submit enquiry forms or navigate between product categories.

Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, that place their own cookies on your device to help us understand aggregate website usage patterns. These third-party providers maintain their own separate privacy and cookie policies governing how they handle any data collected through their tools.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the technology we use or evolving regulatory requirements around website tracking and data privacy, including further guidance issued under India's DPDP Rules as they take effect through 2026 and 2027. We encourage returning visitors to review this page occasionally for updates.
