JAPA TIME

JAPA TIME uses a small amount of browser storage to keep the site stable, remember practical choices, support the installable PWA experience, and understand site performance in an aggregated way. We do not use cookies to sell personal data or to target advertising.

1. What Cookies and Local Storage Are

Cookies are small files saved by your browser. Local storage and session storage are similar browser features that can remember settings on your device. A service worker can also keep selected files in cache so the installed app and key pages load more reliably.

2. Essential Site Storage

Some storage is used for basic site functions and user-requested features:

• Language preference: remembers whether you use the English or Russian site.
• PWA install state: helps avoid showing the same install prompt too often.
• Service-worker cache: stores selected assets for faster loading and offline support.
• Local practice tools: may remember japa counter progress, selected city, alarm state, or daily practice settings on your device.
• Security and stability: may help prevent abuse and keep pages functioning correctly.

3. Analytics and Performance

JAPA TIME may use aggregated analytics to understand which pages are useful, which devices and browsers need better support, and whether errors occur. Analytics are used to improve the devotional service, not for targeted advertising or selling data.

4. Third-Party Cookies and Embeds

Some features are provided by third parties and may set their own cookies or use their own storage when you open or interact with them:

• YouTube: live darshan and video embeds may use YouTube or Google cookies.
• Google services: analytics, search-related tools, or platform services may process technical identifiers.
• Telegram and social links: external social platforms apply their own privacy and cookie rules after you open them.
• App stores and external official links: their own terms and policies apply when you leave JAPA TIME.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage cookies and browser storage in your browser settings. You may clear site data for japatime.com, block third-party cookies, remove the installed PWA, or unregister the service worker through browser developer or privacy settings. Clearing site data may reset saved preferences and local practice progress.

6. Relationship to the Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy explains browser-side storage. The broader handling of personal information, contact messages, technical logs, optional location-based calculations, and privacy requests is described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when site features, analytics, PWA behavior, or third-party integrations change. The update date at the top of this page shows the latest revision.
