This Cookie Policy explains how Theeru Pvt Ltd ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on the Theeru websites. Read it together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages and visits, such as that you are signed in. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in the same way, and this policy covers them too.
2. Your choices
When you first visit Theeru, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and advertising cookies. You can accept all, reject everything that isn't essential, or choose in the settings. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.
If you don't accept analytics cookies, we still count page views, but anonymously and without storing anything on your device. If you don't accept advertising cookies, any Google ads you see are not personalised. Essential cookies are always on, because the site can't work without them.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, signing in and some features won't work.
3. Essential cookies
These are needed for Theeru to work. They don't need your consent.

4. Analytics cookies
These are only set if you accept analytics cookies. They help us understand which stories and pages are read, so we can improve Theeru.

6. Advertising cookies
Some ad spaces on Theeru show adverts from Google AdSense. Others show adverts we sell directly, which use no cookies. Google sets advertising cookies only if you accept advertising cookies. If you don't, Google ads are not personalised and use only what is needed to show an advert and count it, such as preventing fraud.
Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
__gads, __gpi | Google AdSense | Measure adverts and limit how often you see the same advert | 13 months |
__eoi | Google AdSense | Protects against advertising fraud and abuse | 6 months |

You can read how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/ads, and change your Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com. If you withdraw consent, we delete the Google advertising cookies set on Theeru.
7. Changes to this policy
If we add or change cookies, we will update this policy and, where your consent is needed, ask you again through the cookie banner. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
