Cookie Policy

Welcome & Why This Page Matters

When you visit a website, you trust it with small pieces of information about how you browse, read, and interact. Most people don’t think about cookies until they see a popup—but understanding them actually helps you stay in control of your online experience.

This Cookie Policy is written to clearly explain how cookies work on Aahar Jharkhand, why we use them, and how you can manage them easily. No legal jargon, no confusing terms — just real, practical clarity.

Most importantly, let us be very clear from the start:
Aahar Jharkhand is NOT a government website.
This platform exists purely for educational and informational purposes, sharing real, researched information related to food schemes, nutrition awareness, and public-interest topics.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files saved on your browser when you visit a website. They don’t harm your device and they don’t personally identify you.

Think of cookies like a notebook that helps a website remember:

  • Which pages you visited
  • What language you prefer
  • Whether the site loaded properly on your device

In simple Hindi terms — cookies website‘s memory, not your personal identity.
