Current implementation
Last updated 21 October 2026. No Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, advertising pixels or marketing trackers are installed. Article search and filters operate in temporary page memory. Locally hosted images and system fonts avoid third-party resource requests.
Essential enquiry cookie
Opening a page with an enquiry form requests a security token from the PHP server. The server sets a first-party AALAMSESSID session cookie to link that token to your browser and protect against forged submissions. It is HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax and Secure on HTTPS. It lasts for the browser session; server-side cleanup follows the host’s session settings. Blocking it prevents form submission, but you can still call or email Aalam.
External destinations
Login, Sign Up and WhatsApp links open separate services with their own cookies and policies. The marketing site does not embed or activate their trackers. Review their notices when you use those services.
Future changes
Before adding non-essential analytics or tracking, review consent requirements, update these notices and implement suitable controls. There is no marketing-cookie banner because no marketing cookies are used. Contact hello@aalamindia.com with questions.
