This Cookie Policy explains how Authentic Indian Store (Authentic Indian, LLC, "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on authenticindianstore.com, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage and scripts that measure how a page is used, work in a similar way. We use them to make the store work, to keep it secure, and, if you allow it, to understand how the site is used.
These are needed for the store to work, so they can't be switched off on our site. They are not used for analytics or advertising.

Our forms also use Cloudflare Turnstile, which processes technical information about your browser and device to check that you are a person and not a bot.
When analytics are on, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the store, so that we can fix problems and improve it. We don't use session-recording or heatmap tools.
| Tool | What it does | Cookies |

Google Analytics is never loaded on our staff and supplier areas. We don't use advertising or retargeting cookies, social media pixels, or third-party marketing trackers. If that changes, we will update this policy first.
We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes. We'll post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date. Questions? Email •••••••@••••••••••••••••••••.•••.
