This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how AI Khata Book Pakistan ("we", "our", "the App") uses them on storebookledgerapp.pages.dev, what types of cookies we use, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.
2. Cookies We Use
AI Khata Book Pakistan does NOT set any first-party cookies of its own. Your ledger data is stored in your browser's local storage (not cookies).
However, our website uses third-party services that may set cookies:
Google AdSense
We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free app. Google AdSense uses cookies to:
- Show relevant ads based on your browsing history
- Measure ad performance
- Limit how many times you see the same ad
- Detect fraudulent clicks
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| __gads | Ad targeting & frequency | |
| __gpi | Personalised advertising | |
| IDE | DoubleClick ad targeting | |
| DSID | Cross-device ad targeting |
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (page views, time on site, popular pages). This helps us improve the app. Google Analytics uses cookies to:
- Distinguish unique users
- Track session activity
- Measure traffic sources
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguish users | |
| _ga_* | Session state | |
| _gid | Distinguish users (24h) |
3. Cookie Consent (EU / EEA / UK)
If you are in the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we implement Google Consent Mode v2:
- By default, all advertising and analytics cookies are denied
- You can grant consent via the cookie banner shown on your first visit
- You can withdraw consent anytime by clearing your browser data or using the "Manage cookies" link in the footer
For users outside the EU/EEA/UK (including Pakistan), cookies are granted by default per local regulations.
4. How to Control Cookies
Through Your Browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Here's how:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Opt Out of Personalised Ads
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google and other ad networks:
- Google Ads Settings — turn off personalised ads
- DAA Opt-Out — multiple ad networks
- Your Online Choices (EU)
5. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable cookies entirely, our website will still work — but:
- You may see less relevant advertisements
- Some third-party features (Google Maps, YouTube embeds) may not work properly
- We cannot measure traffic, which may slow down our ability to improve the app
The core ledger app itself does NOT depend on cookies and will function normally.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our practices. The "Last updated" date above indicates the most recent revision.
