Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 September 2026
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. We keep our use of cookies deliberately small: the ones we cannot do without, and analytics cookies that only run if you say yes.
Our approach
When you first visit PathYatra, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics scripts are loaded. You are asked to choose first. If you reject analytics, the scripts are never loaded at all — we do not load them and then ignore the data. Rejecting takes exactly as many clicks as accepting.
Cookies we use
| Category | Do we need your consent? | What it does | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | No — required for the site to work | Needed for the site to work — remembering your cookie choice, keeping the site secure, and basic load balancing. | pathyatra_cookie_consent (stores your choice for 6 months) |
| Analytics | Yes — off unless you accept | Helps us understand which pages are useful and where people get stuck, so we can improve the site. Off unless you accept. | Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) — typically expire within about 2 years |
Analytics, in plain terms
If you accept analytics, we use Google Analytics to see things like which pages are visited, roughly which region visitors come from, and where people leave the site. We use it to work out which parts of the site are useful and which are confusing.
We do not use it to advertise to you, and we have advertising and personalisation signals switched off. Google processes this information as our analytics provider, and Google may set its own cookies to do so. If you would like to block Google Analytics everywhere, Google also publishes a browser opt-out add-on.
Changing your mind
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, and withdrawing is as easy as giving consent in the first place. Use the button below.
When you withdraw analytics consent we stop analytics from loading and delete the Google Analytics cookies we can reach from our own site. You can also clear cookies yourself in your browser settings, where you can usually block or delete cookies per site.
How long your choice is remembered
Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie named pathyatra_cookie_consent for about six months, after which we will ask again. That cookie is strictly necessary — it is the only way we can honour your decision without asking on every page.
Cookies in the PathYatra apps
This policy covers this website. The PathYatra mobile apps are not yet released. When they launch, they may use similar technologies inside the app, and the in-app privacy notice will explain what is used and what you can control.
