Cookies Policy

    Last Updated: April 2026

    Draft — Pending Legal Review

    This policy is a working draft prepared from the platform's actual cookie and storage usage. It has not been reviewed by qualified legal counsel and must not be treated as DBI's final Cookies Policy until that review is complete.

    1. What Are Cookies

    Cookies are small text files, and local storage is similar browser-side data, used to make a website work and to remember information between visits. This policy also covers the local storage DBI uses for the same purposes.

    2. Essential Cookies & Storage

    These are required for the platform to function and cannot be switched off:

    • Sign-in session data, so you stay logged in to your account.
    • Your shopping cart contents, so items you add persist as you browse.
    • Your light/dark theme preference.

    3. Analytics Storage

    DBI uses a first-party analytics session identifier (stored in your browser) to measure page views and session activity on the platform, so we can understand overall usage and improve the product. Where enabled, we also use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which set their own cookies to measure traffic and usage in aggregate.

    4. Third-Party Cookies

    Some features load content or services from third parties, which may set their own cookies:

    • Google (Sign-In, Analytics, Tag Manager) — for authentication and usage analytics.
    • Mapbox — for the nearby-business map and location search.
    • Razorpay — during checkout, to process payments securely.

    These providers set cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

    5. Managing Cookies

    Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of DBI — such as staying signed in or keeping items in your cart — from working correctly. You can also opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on, where applicable.

    6. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this policy as our use of cookies and storage changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
