COOKIES
The Kala Tarang website uses cookies to facilitate and personalize the user’s navigation throughout our site.
A cookie is a small piece of text that the websites you visit send to the browser and allow the website to remember information about your visit. Kala Tarang uses cookies to count the number of visits of a page or to allow you to register to download content and browse your personal area.
We use one or more of the following cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website.
- Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you.
- Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
Kala Tarang does not use its own cookies for advertising purposes or to associate navigation data with individuals who have not been previously identified.
We also use third-party cookies from Google Analytics.
Google Analytics cookies have a statistical objective to measure web traffic to help us know which pages are the most visited and allow us to identify which parts of the site we should improve. Google has detailed and updated information about these cookies.
This website also has access to the IP address with which users access it (including access from the Applications). The IP address with which each user accesses the Website may not be the same every time. In addition, different users can share the same IP address.
Even though Kala Tarang does not perform any work aimed at associating the IP address with specific individuals, access to IP addresses may be considered as a processing of personal data by virtue of the potentially identifiable nature of the individual to whom the IP may be associated (the possibility is more theoretical than real), so according to the GPDR, the provisions of this Privacy Policy will apply.
You can prevent Google's collection and processing of data by using the Google Ads Settings page or downloading and installing their browser plug-in.
You block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.
SECURITY
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
