1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember preferences and improve security.
2. How we use cookies
The Cambridge Hindu Association website uses a limited number of cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising or behavioural profiling.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include:
- Session cookies — used to maintain secure sessions, for example when submitting forms or accessing the admin login area.
- CSRF protection — used to help protect forms against cross-site request forgery.
Functional cookies
We may use basic functional cookies to remember choices you make on the website where that improves your experience. At present we do not use optional marketing cookies on the public website.
Website traffic measurement (page views and approximate unique visitors) is handled on our own servers without setting analytics cookies. This uses basic technical information such as page path, approximate device type, and a hashed identifier derived from connection details. It is not used for advertising.
3. Third-party services
Some parts of our website may load content or services from third parties, including:
- Google Fonts — used to display website typography. Google may receive technical information such as your IP address when fonts are loaded.
- Embedded or linked content — for example social media links or sponsor websites, which may set their own cookies if you visit them.
We do not control cookies set by third-party websites. Please review their privacy and cookie policies separately.
4. Managing cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually block or delete cookies, although strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the website work, including form submissions and admin login.
For guidance on managing cookies, visit aboutcookies.org or your browser’s help pages.

If we introduce new cookies or change how cookies are used, we will update this page and the date shown at the top.
