This is the Cookie Policy for Sikhwisdom.org and Sikhwisdom app (the “Site“).
Protecting your personal information is really important to us and falls squarely into our strategy of helping you, the user.
Cookies Policy Q&A
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small computer file, which may be downloaded to your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website or app. Cookies are harmless files which can help improve your experience of using a website or app if your browser’s preferences allow it. The website or app can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering your online preferences.
Cookies work by dropping a small text file onto your local hard drive, which allow the website or app to read information that is stored within that file.
Most cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser – these are called session cookies. Others, known as persistent cookies, are stored on your computer until you delete them, or they automatically expire. The list of cookies we use includes information on how long each one lasts, and we explain below how you can control or delete them yourself. If you return to Sikhwisdom.org after a previous visit, we will only drop session cookies, or any persistent cookies which have been removed or expired.
