Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice applies to the websites and applications linked to www.adityabirla.com ("Websites") and operated by Aditya Birla Management Corporation Pvt. Ltd. (referred to as “ABG”, "we", "our", "us"). This Cookie Notice explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites and/or use our web applications.  It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
 

1. What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small text files stored by your web browser when you use websites. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before we place any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our Websites.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, ABG) are called "first party Cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party Cookies". Third party Cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics).  The parties that set these third-party Cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
 

2. What Cookies do we use?

We use first party and third-party Cookies for several reasons as given below.

1. “Strictly Necessary” Cookies are necessary to enable the basic features of this site to function, such as allowing images to load, or allowing you to select your cookie preferences.
2. “Functional” Cookies allow us to analyze your use of the site to evaluate and improve its performance. They may also be used to provide a better customer experience on this site, such as by remembering your content preferences, optimizing video performance, or providing us information about how our site is used. If you do not allow these Cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
3. “Advertising” Cookies, which are third party Cookies set through our Websites by our advertising partners. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about our businesses, goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will still experience advertising but it will be less targeted to you.

3. Technologies similar to Cookies

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time for authenticating you, keeping track of information that you have provided to us, remembering your preferences and running analytics of site visits. When you are using our application offline, we may store information related to how you used that website on your device and then transfer it to our servers the next time you connect online to our service. However, all information collected by us, using any of the tracking methods, will be processed in accordance with this Cookie Notice and our Privacy Policy [link] as applicable.
 

4. Web beacons 

Web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them.  This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. If you do not wish to enable such tracking, please do not download any images in such emails, or alternatively please unsubscribe from our mailing lists by updating your choices on our preference page or by following the link at the bottom of each email. In many instances, these technologies are also reliant on Cookies to function properly, and so declining performance Cookies will impair their functioning.

In this Cookie Notice, references to "Cookies" are to Cookies and to the similar tracking technologies referred to above.
 

5. How can you control Cookies?

You may:

• Set or change your cookie preferences using our [Cookie Settings] link.
• Block or delete cookies via your browser settings. However, this may impact the functionality of the Website.
   

Additionally, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. These opt out tools are provided by third parties and ABG does not control or operate these programs or the choices that third parties provide through these tools. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COOKIE NOTICE DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PRIVACY OR INFORMATION PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
 

6. How often do we update this Cookie Notice?

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the Cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.  Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of Cookies and related technologies.
