1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They let the website remember things — for example, that you are signed in — as you move from page to page.
Websites can also save information in your browser’s own storage (called “local storage” and “session storage”). This policy covers both.
2. Our Approach
We keep cookies to a minimum. The Sri Ramalayam website:
- Does not use advertising or marketing cookies.
- Does not use analytics or tracking cookies to follow you across other websites.
- Does not sell or share cookie information with advertisers.
The cookies we set are strictly necessary for features you ask for, such as signing in to your account. Under UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations), these do not require your consent, which is why you do not see a cookie banner on our website.
3. Cookies We Use
These cookies are only set when you sign in to your devotee account. If you never sign in, none of them are set.

5. Third-Party Services
Some features use trusted services from other organisations, which may set their own cookies under their own policies:
- Stripe — when you make an online payment you are taken to Stripe’s secure checkout, which uses cookies to process payments and prevent fraud.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — a quick security check on the sign-in page that protects our forms from automated abuse.
- YouTube and Vimeo — videos are only loaded when you choose to play them. YouTube videos use its privacy-enhanced mode.
- Google Maps — directions open on Google’s own website when you click a directions link.
We do not control these cookies. Please see the relevant provider’s privacy and cookie policies for details.

You can view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers explain how to do this in their help pages.
Please note that if you block the cookies listed above, you will not be able to sign in to your account. The rest of the website — information pages, timings, events and donations — will continue to work.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we add new features that use cookies, we will update this policy. If we ever wish to use cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as analytics, we will ask for your consent first.
