1. What Are Cookies & Browser Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used by modern web applications to make websites work efficiently, store user preferences, and provide analytical data.

In addition to standard HTTP cookies, TopDeals India may use modern browser storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage to save client-side states (for example, the items in your saved deals tray or price tracker watchlists).

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify our cookies into the following categories:

Cookie Category	Purpose	Duration	Can Be Disabled?

3. Merchant & Affiliate Cookies

TopDeals India is an affiliate publisher. When you click on an external link to a partner store (such as Amazon India, Flipkart, Myntra, or Croma), a tracking cookie or referral parameter is set by that merchant or an affiliate network (such as Cuelinks, EarnKaro, or Impact).

These cookies do not contain your personal name or address. They simply record that a visitor from TopDeals India visited the store. If you make a purchase, the cookie informs the retailer to credit TopDeals India with an affiliate commission.

ℹ️Merchant Cookie Lifespan

Merchant affiliate cookies have varying lifespans established by each respective retailer (for example, Amazon.in generally operates a standard 24-hour cookie window).

Number of unique visitors per day;
Most popular deal categories (e.g. Electronics, Fashion, Home);
Average page load speed and Core Web Vitals performance;
Error rates and broken link reports.

This data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors personally.
