BOOKSTAKEN Cookie Policy
Effective Date: July 06, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Bookstaken Pvt. Ltd. ("Bookstaken," "we," "us," or "our") and our analytics provider, Google Analytics, use on this website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and — where permitted — understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
2. Strictly Necessary Cookies
We use a single strictly necessary session cookie to keep you logged in to your Bookstaken account. This cookie is essential for the platform to work and cannot be switched off, other than by logging out of your account.
3. Cookies Used by Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic patterns — such as which pages are visited and how many people visit — so we can improve the site. Google Analytics sets the following cookies on your device:
| Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier, used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state (e.g. session ID and last-visit time) for this property | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users on a shorter-term basis for daily reporting | 24 hours |
Google Analytics data is processed in aggregate and pseudonymised form. We do not use it to individually identify a child, parent, or mentor. For more detail on how Google itself processes this data, see Google's Cookies & Technologies policy and Google Analytics' cookie usage documentation
4. Non-Mandatory Cookies (Not Read by Google Analytics)
Separately from Google Analytics, Bookstaken's own in-house analytics sets a first-party anonymous identifier cookie (bk_anon_id) to recognise repeat visits on this device and understand how people navigate the site. This cookie is optional — Google Analytics does not read it, and the site's core functionality does not depend on it. You can turn it off at any time using the switch below.
Turning this off will delete the bk_anon_id cookie from your browser and stop any further non-essential analytics events from being collected on this device. Your choice is remembered on this browser until you change it again or clear your browser storage.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings menu. Blocking all cookies, including the strictly necessary session cookie, may prevent parts of the platform — such as staying logged in — from working correctly.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. The "Effective Date" at the top will always reflect the most recent version.
