Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They allow the website to recognize your device, maintain active login sessions, and remember items added to your dairy shopping cart as you navigate between pages.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Black Gold Farm utilizes only strictly necessary functional cookies required for core platform operation:

• Essential Session Cookies (PHPSESSID): Temporary session tokens that identify your browsing session, maintain customer authentication state, and store flash alerts. These expire automatically when you close your web browser.
• Shopping Cart Cookies (bgf_cart_token): Preserves your active dairy basket items so your milk, paneer, and ghee selections remain intact across page reloads.
• Security Tokens (_csrf_token): Protects forms against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) exploits to ensure secure order submissions.
• Privacy-Conscious Performance Analytics: Aggregated, IP-anonymized traffic metrics to identify slow pages or server bottlenecks. We do not use cross-site behavioral ad trackers.

3. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can configure your web browser settings to block or notify you when cookies are being set. Please note that if you choose to disable essential cookies, functional features such as customer login, shopping cart persistence, and instant checkout may not work correctly.
