Tiranga Lottery - Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device, desktop, tablet, or mobile phone, when you visit a website. They allow tirangalottery.io to recognise your browser on return visits, remember your preferences, and ensure core features work correctly. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot read other files stored on your device. They are entirely distinct from spyware or tracking software, and Indian regulators under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its associated rules treat them as standard web-session tools rather than sensitive personal data in their raw form.

Cookies fall into two ownership categories. First-party cookies are set directly by tirangalottery.io and cover account sessions, language preferences, and lottery cart state. Third-party cookies are placed by service providers such as analytics platforms and payment gateways. Both types can be either session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until their expiry date or until you clear them manually. On tirangalottery.io we use four functional groups: strictly necessary, performance and analytics, functionality, and targeting cookies.

How we use cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are created the moment you log in to your Tiranga Lottery account and are destroyed when you log out or close your browser. They authenticate your identity, maintain your session token across lottery pages, and prevent unauthorised access. Without them, features such as ticket selection, draw entry, and secure account management cannot operate, which is why this category cannot be disabled by users.

Functionality and performance cookies support your experience during transactions. When you deposit or withdraw funds using popular Indian payment methods, PhonePe, Google Pay (GPay), or BHIM UPI: functionality cookies remember your preferred payment method and currency (INR) so you do not need to re-enter these details for every purchase. Performance cookies simultaneously collect anonymised, aggregated metrics such as pages visited, time on site, lottery draw pages viewed, and error events. This data helps our team identify and resolve technical issues, improve page load speeds, and refine the ticket-purchase flow.

Targeting cookies, operated with our advertising partners, allow us to show Tiranga Lottery promotional offers, such as bonus credits on new draws or festive-season jackpots, that reflect your on-site browsing behaviour. These cookies do not store your name, mobile number, UPI ID, or payment details. No personally identifiable information is sold to third parties. All cookie-based data processing complies with applicable Indian data-protection regulations and our Privacy Policy available at tirangalottery.io.
