Cookie Policy

How and why we use cookies and similar technologies.

Last updated: 23 June 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Mankiwave (“Mankiwave”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operating the website https://mankiwave.in and related dashboards and services (the “Service”), uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our platform. It describes what these technologies are, the categories we use, why we use them, the third parties that may set cookies through our Service, and the choices available to you for controlling them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, our Data Protection & GDPR page, and our Terms & Conditions. By continuing to use the Service, or where required by law by accepting cookies through our consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the methods described below.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website operator. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

In addition to cookies, we and our service providers may use related technologies, including:

  • Local storage and session storage — browser storage mechanisms (such as HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage) used to retain data such as your login session, interface preferences, or draft content within your account dashboard.
  • Pixels, tags, and scripts — small pieces of code that may be embedded in pages or emails to support analytics or page functionality.
  • Software tokens — identifiers (for example, authentication or anti-forgery tokens) stored in cookies or browser storage to keep you signed in and to protect requests.

In this policy, references to “cookies” include these similar technologies unless we state otherwise.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Operate the Service securely and keep you signed in to your account across pages.
  • Protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats such as cross-site request forgery.
  • Remember your settings and preferences, such as language and theme.
  • Understand how visitors and Users interact with the Service so we can maintain, improve, and troubleshoot it.
  • Enable certain third-party functions, such as payment processing and embedded content, to work correctly.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies (Session & Security)

These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting privacy preferences. They include session cookies that maintain your authenticated session and security tokens (such as CSRF/anti-forgery tokens) that protect form submissions and API requests. Without these cookies, core features such as signing in, accessing your dashboard, connecting your own WhatsApp numbers, or composing campaigns will not work. Because they are required to deliver a service you have requested, these cookies do not require consent under most laws.

4.2 Preference Cookies

These cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make to provide a more personalized experience. For example, they store your selected interface language, your light/dark theme, your time zone, or which panels you have collapsed. If you disable these cookies, the Service will still work, but some preferences may not be retained between sessions.

4.3 Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors and Users engage with our website and dashboard — for example, which pages are visited, how features are used, and where errors occur — so that we can measure and improve performance. The information collected is typically aggregated and used for statistical purposes. Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies are only set after you provide consent. Disabling them does not affect the functionality of the Service.

4.4 Third-Party Cookies (Payment Gateways & Embedded Content)

Some cookies are placed by third parties whose services we integrate. In particular, when you make a payment, our payment gateways — Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, PhonePe, and PayU — may set their own cookies on the checkout or payment pages to process transactions securely, prevent fraud, and comply with their own legal obligations. We may also embed content or load scripts from third parties (for example, fonts, support widgets, or media), which can set their own cookies. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party’s own cookie and privacy policies. Please review those policies directly for details.

5. Representative List of Cookies and Their Purposes

The table below describes representative examples of the types of cookies and storage we use. Exact cookie names, providers, and durations may change as we update the Service, our analytics tools, or our third-party providers.

  • Session / authentication cookie — Category: Strictly Necessary. Purpose: keeps you logged in and maintains your secure session. Typical duration: session (expires when you log out or close the browser).
  • CSRF / anti-forgery token — Category: Strictly Necessary. Purpose: protects form and request submissions against cross-site request forgery. Typical duration: session.
  • Cookie consent record — Category: Strictly Necessary. Purpose: remembers your cookie preferences so we do not ask on every visit. Typical duration: persistent (up to several months).

  • Analytics cookie — Category: Analytics & Performance. Purpose: collects aggregated usage and performance data to help us improve the Service. Typical duration: session to persistent.

  • Embedded content cookies — Category: Third-Party. Purpose: enable embedded fonts, media, or support tools to function. Typical duration: set and governed by the respective provider.

6. How to Control or Disable Cookies

You have several ways to control or disable cookies:

  • Consent banner / preferences: Where we present a cookie banner or preference control, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies and update your choices later.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers let you view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the “Privacy” or “Security” section of your browser’s settings menu, and you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies or to refuse them automatically.
  • Clearing storage: You can clear local and session storage through your browser’s site-data or developer tools.
  • Opt-out tools: Some third-party providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms; please refer to their policies.

For guidance specific to your browser, see the help pages for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, or your chosen browser. Apple, Google, and other named browser or platform providers are independent third parties; Mankiwave is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by them, and all related trademarks belong to their respective owners.

7. Consequences of Disabling Cookies

You are free to block or delete cookies, but please note that doing so may affect your experience. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you may be unable to log in, maintain a session, or use core features of the Service such as your dashboard, connected accounts, or campaign tools, and certain security protections may not function. Disabling preference cookies means your settings (such as language and theme) may not be remembered. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect functionality but limits our ability to improve the Service. Disabling third-party payment cookies may prevent you from completing payments through our gateways.

8. Third-Party Cookies and External Links

Our website and dashboard may contain links to, or content from, third-party websites and services, including our payment gateways and any embedded media or support tools. These third parties may set their own cookies, over which we have no control. We are not responsible for the privacy or cookie practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party site or service you visit. For more on how we handle personal data generally, see our Privacy Policy and Data Protection & GDPR page.
