  • Payment Gateways (Razorpay/UPI): Set temporary cookies to process your payment securely. These are deleted after your transaction is complete.
  • Bootstrap CDN: Used for website styling. No personal data is tracked.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising tracking cookies on SpicySpark.
