Cookie Policy of YOURBOOKS
Which cookies we use, why we use them and how you can control them.
📅 Effective Date: 14 Sep 2026This Cookie Policy explains how YourBooks India Private Limited (“YourBooks”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.yourbooks.in and in the YourBooks application at app.yourbooks.in (collectively, the “Services”).
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use your personal information.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser or on your device. They let the site recognise your browser, keep you signed in, remember your choices and understand how the site is used. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
We also use similar browser technologies such as session storage. In this policy, “cookies” refers to all of these technologies.
Types of Cookies
a. Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
b. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting — yourbooks.in or app.yourbooks.in. Third-party cookies are set by a different domain, such as a service we use for sign-in, payments or advertising.
We group the cookies we use into the categories below: Strictly Necessary, Sign-In, Payment, Google Maps, Analytics and Advertising.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the YourBooks application to work. They keep you securely signed in and protect your account, and are set only on app.yourbooks.in. Without them, you cannot use the application.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
JSESSIONID | Keeps your session active while you use YourBooks. It is set when you open app.yourbooks.in. | Session (removed when you close your browser; your session also ends after 2 hours of inactivity) |
YB_SSO_TOKEN | Secure single sign-on token set when you sign in, so you can move between connected YourBooks applications without signing in again. It cannot be read by scripts on the page. | Session (token expires after 8 hours) |
Strictly necessary cookies are never used for analytics or advertising.
Sign-In Cookies
You can sign up or sign in to YourBooks with your Google or Microsoft account. When you do, the sign-in window is provided by Google (accounts.google.com) or Microsoft (login.microsoftonline.com), which may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
msal.* | Session storage used on yourbooks.in by Microsoft sign-in (MSAL), together with related account entries, to hold your sign-in request and tokens temporarily. | Session (cleared when you close the tab) |
In the YourBooks application, you are taken to Google or Microsoft to sign in, and YourBooks does not set any additional cookies for this.
Payment Cookies
When you buy or upgrade a YourBooks plan, Razorpay handles the payment. The checkout window loads from checkout.razorpay.com and may set its own cookies on Razorpay’s domains to process your payment securely and prevent fraud. The card, UPI or net banking details you enter at checkout go directly to Razorpay; YourBooks never receives or stores them. For automatic recurring payments, we keep only a reference ID from Razorpay.
If a business using YourBooks sends you an invoice payment link, that payment page is hosted by Razorpay and is covered by Razorpay’s policies.
Google Maps
Some pages of the YourBooks application, such as Contact Us, show an embedded Google Map. When the map loads, Google may set its own cookies on its own domains under its own privacy policy.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use our website and application — for example, which pages are visited, how long visits last and how visitors find us. We use this information in aggregate to improve the Services. Google Analytics runs on yourbooks.in (through Google Tag Manager) and on app.yourbooks.in.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated ID to your browser. | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Keeps track of your session and page views for our Google Analytics property. | 2 years |
_gid | Distinguishes visitors on a few older pages of the application. | 24 hours |
Advertising Cookies
Our website uses the Meta Pixel to measure the performance of our ads on Facebook and Instagram and to show YourBooks ads to people who have visited our website. The Meta Pixel is not used inside the YourBooks application.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp | Identifies your browser so Meta can measure ad performance and deliver relevant ads. | 90 days | Meta, on yourbooks.in |
_fbc | Stores the ad click ID when you arrive at our website from a Facebook or Instagram ad, so Meta can measure that ad. | 90 days | Meta, on yourbooks.in |
fr | Used by Meta to deliver, measure and improve the relevance of ads. Present only if you have used Facebook or Instagram in the same browser. | 90 days | Meta, on facebook.com |
We do not sell your personal information.
