If the Platform sets cookies routinely, these can also be used to track your successive page views, and therefore your behavior on the Platform, whether or not you are logged in. Unless you log in or complete an enquiry form, such use of cookies will not enable the Platform to identify you (because cookies can only give access to information that the Platform already has). The Platform will not attempt to identify you unless you log in.

Cookies set by one site cannot be read by another. However, one web page may be made up of components (such as news stories, images or advertising), some of which are delivered from third parties. Each of those third-party sites may be able to set and read its own cookies on any page where its content appears. This data can also be used for online marketing purposes by eCarobaar. Details of such web / mobile analytics partners will be updated at www.spareit.co.in along with links to their respective privacy policies.
