Cookie Policy

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

[LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("Nodal Pay", "we", "us") operates this website, which describes our upcoming app based protected payment platform, currently under development in India. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, what this website actually uses today, and how that may change when the app launches.

This policy covers only this marketing website. The Nodal Pay app is not yet live, and app specific data practices will be documented and published before launch. For how we plan to handle personal data more broadly, please read our Privacy Policy and our Data Retention and Deletion Policy.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They can help a site remember things between pages or visits, such as a login session, a language preference, or the contents of a basket.

Cookies are usually grouped in two ways:

• Session vs persistent. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
• First party vs third party. First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting; third party cookies are set by other organisations whose content or services are embedded in the page, often for analytics or advertising.

"Similar technologies" include browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), tracking pixels, and software development kits (SDKs) inside apps. They can serve comparable purposes even though they are not technically cookies, so we treat them together in this policy.

3. What this website uses today

This is a simple, static website, and we have deliberately kept it that way while Nodal Pay is under development. As of the last updated date shown above:

• This website sets no first party cookies of any kind, there is no login, no account area, and no shopping basket to remember.
• We run no analytics. We do not measure page views, track visitors across pages, or build visitor profiles.
• We use no advertising or marketing trackers, no pixels, no retargeting tags, no social media plugins.
• We store nothing in your browser's localStorage or sessionStorage.

Category	Common examples	Used on this website today
Strictly necessary cookies	Login sessions, security tokens	No, this site has no login or account features
Preference cookies	Language or theme choices	No
Analytics cookies	Page view and traffic measurement	No
Advertising cookies	Ad targeting, retargeting pixels	No
Browser storage	localStorage, sessionStorage	No, nothing is stored in your browser

3.1 The launch notification form

The "Get notified at launch" form that appears on this website is a preview of a planned feature. In its current form it does not store what you type, does not transmit it to any server, and does not set any cookie. When the waitlist is activated closer to launch, this policy and the Privacy Policy will be updated first to explain exactly what is collected, why, and for how long it is kept.

4. Third party resources: web fonts

To display text consistently across devices, this website loads its typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser fetches the font files, it makes a request to Google's servers, and Google receives the technical information that accompanies any web request, such as your IP address and browser details. This is a network request, not a cookie, but we mention it here for completeness because it involves a third party.

We do not control how Google processes that request data. Google describes its own practices in its privacy policy, which is available on Google's policies website at policies.google.com.

Apart from web fonts, this website loads no third party scripts, embeds, or external content of any kind. We are also evaluating self hosting the fonts before launch, which would remove even this third party connection.

5. What may change at launch

As Nodal Pay moves from preview to launch, some cookies or similar technologies are expected to become necessary. Depending on final design decisions, these may include:

• Strictly necessary cookies, for example, session and security cookies if account sign in or a web dashboard is introduced.
• Consent based analytics, privacy conscious measurement of how the site is used, enabled only where you have given consent when consent is required.
• Waitlist and notification features, storage of contact details that you actively choose to submit.

Before any of these are introduced, we plan to update this Cookie Policy, present a clear consent banner or notice where one is required for non essential cookies, and record your choices in line with applicable law, including the Information Technology Act 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. Non essential cookies are not expected to be set without your consent.

6. How to control cookies in your browser

Although this website sets no cookies today, you can manage cookies for all websites through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

• view the cookies stored on your device and delete some or all of them;
• block third party cookies, or block all cookies entirely;
• allow or block cookies on a per site basis;
• browse in a private or incognito mode, which discards cookies when the window is closed.

The exact steps differ between browsers and versions, so please consult the help section of the browser you use. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies can affect how other websites work, though, today, it will make no difference to this one.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website and the Nodal Pay platform develop. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and for material changes, such as introducing any cookie or analytics tool, we will update this policy before the change takes effect. This draft will be reviewed and finalised before public launch.
