2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
Dinetha Astrological Institute uses cookies for a few essential reasons:
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are crucial for the basic operation of our website. For example, they allow you to navigate our pages safely, access secure online booking features, and make secure digital payments for your consultations. Without these cookies, basic parts of our site will not function correctly.
Functionality Cookies: These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. They enable us to remember your choices or preferences—such as your preferred language (English or Sinhala) or layout selections—providing you with a more seamless experience.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use basic analytical tools (such as Google Analytics) to gather anonymous data on how visitors interact with our website. This includes tracking which pages are visited most frequently and identifying any loading errors. This data is entirely aggregated and anonymous, helping us improve our website structure and performance.
3. Third-Party Cookies on Our Site
In addition to our own cookies, you may encounter third-party cookies while browsing our website:
Communication Plugins: Our website features direct links and click-to-chat integration with WhatsApp. Clicking these buttons interacts with external platforms, which may drop their own tracking cookies according to their independent privacy and cookie frameworks.
Payment Processors: When paying for your astrological consultation online, third-party secure payment gateways may utilize their own verification cookies to protect your transaction from fraud.
