Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 12 June 2025
This page explains what cookies are, which cookies this website uses and how you can control them. We keep this brief and straightforward — it is your data and your choice.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and to provide information to website owners about how visitors use their sites.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own — they are identifiers, not files containing your name or contact details. They are read by the website that set them or, in some cases, by authorised third-party services.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies Always Active
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent preference and basic session management. You cannot disable these without affecting how the site works.
Examples: cookieConsent preference storage
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use this website — which pages are viewed most, how long visitors stay and where they arrive from. The data is anonymised and used only to improve the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Examples: _ga, _gid (Google Analytics)
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be set by advertising platforms to track visits across websites and build a profile of your interests. This website does not actively run advertising campaigns, but some embedded third-party content may set these cookies.
Examples: advertising network identifiers
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make — such as language or display settings. They are used to provide a more personalised experience. Nilaya stores your cookie consent choice as a preference cookie in your browser's local storage.
Examples: user preference settings
Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to choose which optional cookies you accept, then save your preferences. Your choice is stored in your browser and will be remembered on your next visit.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services. We have limited control over these cookies. The main third-party services that may set cookies are:
- Google Analytics — website usage statistics (anonymised). See Google Privacy Policy.
- Google Maps — embedded map on our homepage. Subject to Google's cookie policy.
4. Cookie Duration
| Cookie Type | Duration |
