Cookie Policy

1. What this policy covers

This Cookie Policy explains how Kroybikri uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our websites and related services — including classified listings, shop, wholesale, auctions, search, and account dashboards. It should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels used for the same kinds of purposes (remembering settings, keeping you signed in, or understanding how the product is used). In this policy, “cookies” includes those similar tools where relevant.

3. How Kroybikri uses cookies

We use cookies to:

• Keep you signed in (including after email/password or Google sign-in)
• Remember preferences such as language (Bangla/English) and light/dark theme
• Support marketplace features (search/filter state, browsing sessions, and seller dashboard sessions)
• Help secure accounts and prevent abuse or unauthorized access
• Measure performance and reliability (for example page load or feature usage) so we can improve listings search, shop, wholesale, and auctions

4. Types of cookies we use

• Essential / strictly necessary— required for basic operation: authentication, security, load balancing, and core browsing. The site may not work correctly without these.
• Functional / preference — remember choices such as locale (`kroybikri_locale`) and theme so you do not have to set them every visit.
• Analytics / performance — help us understand how people use search, listings, shops, auctions, and dashboards so we can fix issues and improve the product. Where used, these are configured to support service improvement rather than selling your personal data.

The exact cookies set can change as we add or update features. Names and lifetimes may vary by browser and device.

5. First-party and third-party

First-party cookies are set by Kroybikri domains. Third-party cookies may be set by providers we use for hosting, authentication (for example Google sign-in), or similar infrastructure. Those providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies as well as our instructions where they act as service providers.

6. How long cookies last

• Session cookies — usually deleted when you close the browser or end the session.
• Persistent cookies — remain until they expire or you delete them (for example preference cookies that remember language or theme).

7. Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or alert you before cookies are stored). Steps differ by browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.). Note that:

• Blocking essential cookies may stop sign-in or dashboard features from working
• Clearing cookies may sign you out and reset language or theme preferences
• Device-level or browser “Do Not Track” settings may not change all cookies we need to run the marketplace

8. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices or features change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of Kroybikri after an update means you accept the revised policy.
