What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files, and similar browser storage such as localStorage, that a website saves on your device. They allow the site to recognise your session, remember your preferences and measure how the platform performs.
Essential Cookies
Required for the platform to work. They keep you signed in, secure your session, protect forms against abuse and remember that you have accepted important notices. DesiDeals cannot function without them.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences — such as your selected city, recently viewed cities, language and display choices — so you do not have to set them again on every visit.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how the platform is used through aggregated statistics such as page views, searches and offer clicks. These power the non-identifying performance insights we share with retailers.
Session Cookies
Temporary storage that lasts only for the current browsing session and is cleared when you close the browser. Used for step-by-step flows such as OTP sign-in and multi-step forms.
Performance Cookies
Measure loading speed, caching effectiveness and error rates so we can find slow pages and fix problems quickly.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by trusted service providers we rely on, such as Google Analytics for usage measurement and our authentication provider for secure sign-in. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles and we never sell your personal information.
Managing and disabling cookies
You can disable or delete cookies at any time from your browser settings — usually under Privacy, Site settings or Clear browsing data. Blocking essential and session cookies will sign you out and may prevent sign-in, city selection and offer saving from working correctly.
