Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your login session, preferences, and usage behaviour.

We also use similar technologies including local storage (for client-side state), session tokens (for authentication), and tracking pixels (for analytics, only with consent). Throughout this Policy, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".

When you first visit CurryStudio, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change your choices at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer.

These cannot be disabled as they are essential for the Service to function. They do not track you for advertising purposes.

You can opt out at any time. Opting out of analytics does not affect your ability to use the Service. Opting out of marketing cookies means we cannot measure whether our advertising was effective, which helps us keep our ad spend efficient.

All major browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies. Instructions for common browsers:

• 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
• iOS Safari: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data
• Android Chrome: Chrome menu → Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data

Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from remaining signed in and may make the Service unusable.

Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites.

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. CurryStudio currently does not respond differently to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for how to interpret and honour them. We treat all users according to their cookie consent choices regardless of the DNT signal.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable law. We will display a new consent banner if we introduce new non-essential cookies. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the Policy was last updated.
