Cookie Policy

• mahaparv_token: keeps you logged in. In a browser it lasts one day; in the Android app it is kept until you log out, and the login itself ends after 90 days without use.
• mahaparv_lang, mw_lang and myra_lang: remember the language you chose for the app, for business websites and for Myra (one year).
• up_mode: remembers which portal you last used, such as Owner or Customer (one year).
• PHPSESSID: a session cookie set by our server, on the app and on business websites. It protects forms and counts requests to stop misuse. It ends when you close the browser.
• sl followed by a number: set after you enter the right last 4 digits to open a shared bill, receipt, order or booking, so you are not asked again on that browser for 30 days.
• up_app_preview: used only while a business previews its own website in the app; it ends when you close the browser.

The site also keeps items in your browser’s own storage, which stays on your device and is not sent to anyone for tracking. Some of it is personal:

• On a business website: your cart, a coupon, and the name, phone and delivery address you typed for an order or a booking, so you do not have to type them again on that phone.
• In the app: your own account details while you are logged in (removed when you log out), a customer you started adding but did not save, bills made at the counter while offline until they are sent, and your recent searches.
• Short-lived items such as the mobile number being verified, which are removed when you close the tab.

To remove them, clear the site’s data in your browser, or log out on a shared phone.

To show a business how many people visit its website, we count visits with a code made from the day, the business, your IP address and your browser, scrambled one way so that it cannot be turned back into your IP address. The visit counter does not store the IP address itself, and its records are removed after about 13 months. Opening a business in the UdyogPortal app counts as a visit in the same way. To stop spam on a business's website, when you send a form, order, booking or enquiry, or tap Call or WhatsApp, we keep a similar scrambled code for about an hour to count how many tries come from one place, then discard it.

Some pages load parts from other companies, which receive your IP address and browser details when the page loads: Google Fonts (lettering), cdnjs by Cloudflare (tools for cropping photos, showing PDFs and drawing maps), goQR.me (QR code pictures on business websites), OpenStreetMap (the map pictures on the owner’s staff map), and YouTube or Unsplash (pictures, where a business adds a video or uses a default photo). None of them sets advertising cookies through our pages.

The Android app shows ads through Google AdMob, which uses your phone’s advertising ID. You can reset or delete it in your phone’s Settings, under Google, Ads.

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block our login cookie, you will not be able to stay logged in.
