This information is collected through server logs, cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies, and is generally used in aggregate, non-identifying form for analytics purposes.
1.3 Information from Third-Party Sources
We may use third-party analytics and advertising services (described in more detail below) that independently collect information about your interactions with our Site and other websites. We do not control the specific data collection practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to review their own privacy policies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content;

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes. Where we work with advertising or analytics partners, those relationships are governed by the terms described below.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage) for several purposes:
3.1 Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality, such as remembering your cookie consent preferences.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, which pages are popular, and where visitors face difficulties, so we can improve the content and layout.

3.2 Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being placed. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and your overall browsing experience. Instructions for managing cookies can usually be found in the “Settings,” “Preferences,” or “Privacy” section of your browser.
3.3 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. Because there is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond differently based on the presence of a DNT signal.
4. Third-Party Services, Analytics, and Advertising
We may use third-party service providers to help operate the Site, analyze traffic, and display advertisements. These providers may include, but are not limited to, web analytics services, content delivery networks, and advertising networks.
These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. This is sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “personalized advertising.”
We do not have direct access to, or control over, the cookies and tracking technologies that these third parties use. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of information by these third parties, and we encourage you to consult their respective privacy policies for more information about their practices and for instructions on how to opt out of certain practices.
If you would like more information about interest-based advertising and your choices, or would like to opt out of certain third-party ad-targeting cookies, you may wish to visit industry opt-out pages operated by advertising trade associations.
5. Links to Official Government Websites
Our Site provides informational content about Nadakacheri, Karnataka AJSK, and related government services, and includes links to official government websites such as the Nadakacheri login portal and the AJSK application status portal. These are external, independently operated websites over which we have no control.
We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any official government website before entering personal information such as your Aadhaar number, mobile number, ration card details, or any other sensitive data. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or data handling of any third-party or government website, even where we provide a direct link to it.
We never ask you to submit your Aadhaar number, OTP, RD Number, or certificate application details to us, and you should never provide such sensitive information to any website other than the official government portals.
