Like most websites, Gods of India uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to remember your preferences, understand how the website is used, and serve advertising. We and our partners also use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier embedded in pages or emails, to count visitors, understand usage, and measure the effectiveness of content and advertising.

Cookies we use fall into broad categories: strictly necessary cookies that make the site work, analytics cookies that help us improve it, and advertising cookies set by us or our third-party ad partners. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and where required by law, advertising cookies are set only after you provide consent.
