At Jhooma, we want to ensure your experience on our website is as smooth and secure as possible. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.
This policy applies specifically to the Jhooma website. (Our Android app relies on local device storage rather than traditional web cookies).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide a seamless login experience.
2. How We Use Cookies
Because Jhooma operates as a secure music streaming platform with user accounts and premium subscriptions, we primarily use cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function.
We use the following types of cookies:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are required for the Jhooma website to operate properly. Without them, core functions like logging in or keeping your session active would not work.
- User Sessions: To keep you logged in as you navigate between pages and listen to music.
- Security: To protect your account from unauthorized access and prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
- Subscription Status: To quickly verify if you are on the Free, Monthly Pro, or Yearly Pro tier so the correct audio player loads.
B. Functionality & Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make so you don't have to set them every time you visit.
- Volume & Player Settings: Remembering your preferred volume level or shuffle/repeat settings on the web player.
- Theme: Remembering if you prefer the dark theme.
C. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
We use basic, anonymized analytics to understand how many people visit Jhooma, which pages are the most popular, and how we can improve our website's speed and performance.
3. Third-Party Cookies
When you upgrade to Jhooma Pro, you are securely redirected to our payment partners (eSewa, Khalti, or ConnectIPS). These third-party payment gateways may use their own cookies to securely process your transaction and verify your identity. We do not control these cookies, and they are governed by the respective privacy policies of the payment providers.
4. How to Control or Delete Cookies
You have full control over your cookie settings. You can instruct your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
- Browser Settings: You can clear existing cookies or block new ones by accessing the settings menu in your browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
- Important Note: If you choose to disable or block Strictly Necessary Cookies, you will not be able to log in to your Jhooma account, play full tracks, or access your Pro dashboard.
