Who We Are

Our website address is: https://indiavoyage.in.

Information We Collect & How We Use It

1. Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.

2. Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images.

3. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze site engagement. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies last one year.
  • A temporary cookie is set on the login page to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie storing the article ID is saved for one day.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor interactions.

How Long We Retain Your Data
