Introduction

This Cookies Policy explains how the Indian Business Betterment Foundation (IBBF) uses cookies and similar technologies when users access or interact with the IBBF platform.

Cookies help improve the functionality, security, and usability of the platform. By using the IBBF website, users consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

Section 2

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's device when visiting a website. They help websites recognize returning users, remember preferences, and improve the browsing experience.

Cookies may collect limited technical information related to website usage.

Section 3

What IBBF Stores on Your Device

NecessaryAlways Active

Needed for the platform to work and stay secure:

  • A sign-in cookie (token, secure, 24 hours) if you sign in as a business or company
  • Your cookie choice (ibbf_cookie_consent, kept in your browser's local storage: what you chose, when, and which version of this notice you saw)
  • While you fill in a complaint, review or business form, a draft of what you have typed — kept only in that browser tab and cleared when you submit, start over or close the tab, or after 24 hours
Analytics (No Cookies)Your Choice

Anonymous weekly totals that help us improve the platform:

  • Pages visited and time on page
  • Device type and where visitors came from
  • How our forms are used

If you choose "Accept all cookies", your approximate city is added too — worked out on our own server from your connection and then forgotten. Nothing is kept about you or your visit. Browsers that send Global Privacy Control are never counted.

Security Checks

Protect the platform from misuse, spam and fake submissions:

  • Forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a security check
  • Fraud prevention, as described in our Privacy Policy

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not share these totals.

Section 4

Third-Party Cookies

IBBF does not use analytics cookies or third-party analytics or advertising services. Our anonymous usage statistics do not rely on cookies.

Some IBBF forms use Cloudflare Turnstile, a third-party security service, to help distinguish legitimate visitors from automated activity. Cloudflare may process technical information necessary to provide this security service, in accordance with its Turnstile Privacy Addendum.

IBBF does not use Cloudflare Turnstile for advertising or marketing purposes. Information processed independently by Cloudflare is subject to its applicable privacy practices.

Section 5

Changing Your Choice

You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. "Reject all cookies" stops analytics straight away. Totals already counted cannot identify you and stay in the weekly totals until they are deleted after 24 months.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies from specific websites
  • Disable cookies entirely
Note: Disabling necessary cookies may affect certain features of the platform, including login functionality and form submissions.
Section 6

Data Collected Through Cookies

Cookies used by IBBF generally collect limited technical information, which may include:

  • IP address
  • Device type and browser information
  • Session activity on the platform
  • General usage patterns

This information is used for platform functionality, security, and improvement purposes only.

Section 7

Policy Updates

IBBF may update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or platform operations. The updated version will be published on this page.

Section 8
