Cookie Policy

At Tuluva, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any Tuluva product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and mobile ad IDs (collectively referred to in this policy as “cookies”) to collect and use data as part of our Services, as defined in our Privacy Policy (“Services”).

Cookies

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables Tuluva features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-Tuluva sites that display ads or that host our plugins or tags.

 We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies.

 A persistent cookie lasts beyond the current session and is used for many purposes, such as recognizing you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to Tuluva and interact with our Services without signing in again. Since a persistent cookie stays in your browser, it will be read by Tuluva when you return to one of our sites or visit a third party site that uses our Services. 

Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

Pixels

A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

Local storage

Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the Tuluva experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.

Other similar technologies

We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy.

Our cookie tables list some of the cookies that are used by us and third parties as part of our Services. Please note that these tables may be updated from time to time to provide you with the latest information.

Authentication

We use cookies to recognize you when you visit our Services.

 If you’re signed into Tuluva, cookies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience in line with your settings.

 Security

We use cookies to make your interactions with our Services faster, more secure and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement.

 Preferences, features and services

We use cookies to enable the functionality of our Services, and provide you with features, insights and customized content. We also use these technologies to remember information about your browser and your preferences.

 Functional

We use cookies to improve your experience on our Services.

Plugins on and off Tuluva

We use cookies to enable Tuluva plugins both on and off the Tuluva sites.

 Our plugins may be found on Tuluva or third-party sites, such as the sites of our customers and partners. If you interact with a plugin, the plugin will use cookies to identify you and initiate your request.

  Personalized Advertising

Cookies help us show you relevant advertising, both on and off our Services and measure the performance of such ads and report on it. We use cookies to learn whether content has been shown to you or whether someone who was presented with an ad later came back and took an action (e.g., downloaded a white paper or made a purchase) on another site. Similarly, our partners or service providers may use cookies to determine whether we’ve shown an ad or a post and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with ads.

 We may also work with our customers and partners to show you an ad on or off Tuluva, such as after you’ve visited a customer’s or partner’s site or application.

 Analytics and research

Cookies help us learn more about how well our Services and plugins perform in different locations. We or our service providers use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features and services, including as you navigate through our sites or when you access Tuluva from other sites, applications or devices. We or our service providers, use cookies to determine and measure the performance of ads or posts on and off Tuluva and to learn whether you have interacted with our or our customers’ websites, content or emails and provide analytics based on those interactions.

 We also use cookies to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners as part of our Services.

 If you are a Tuluva member but logged out of your account on a browser, Tuluva may still continue to log your interaction with our Services on that browser for up to 30 days in order to generate usage analytics for our Services. We may share these analytics in aggregate form with our customers.

Third parties such as our customers, partners and service providers may use cookies in connection with our Services.

 

For example, third parties may use cookies in their Tuluva pages, job posts and their advertisements on and off Tuluva for their own marketing purposes. For an illustration, please visit Tuluva’s Help Center.

 

Third parties may also use cookies in connection with our off-site Services, such as Tuluva ad services. Third parties may use cookies to help us to provide our Services. We may also work with third parties for our own marketing purposes and to enable us to analyze and research our Services.

 

Your Choices

You have choices on how Tuluva uses cookies. Please note that if you limit the ability of Tuluva to use cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it may no longer be as personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

 

Targeted Advertising

As described here, you have choices regarding the use of your personal data for targeted advertising. Some mobile device operating systems such as Android and iOS provide the ability to control the use of mobile advertising IDs for ads personalization. You can learn how to use these controls by visiting the manufacturer’s website for both Android and iOS.

 

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, which may be adapted to reflect your consent to the use of cookies. Further, most browsers also enable you to review and erase cookies, including Tuluva cookies. To learn more about browser controls, please consult the documentation that your browser manufacturer provides.

Where required, we enable you to reject the use of certain cookies for purposes such as advertising and analytics and research, by visiting your cookie settings, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal. For members, your settings can be found here. For guests, your settings can be found here. You can change your preferences at any time by visiting these settings.

DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies, for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. As such, Tuluva does not generally respond to “do not track” signals.

Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers. Cookies are used to store and receive identifiers and other information on computers, phones and other devices. Other technologies, including data that we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies”.

 

We use cookies if you have a Tuluva account, use the Tuluva Products, including our website and apps, or visit other websites and apps that use the Tuluva Products (including the Like button or other Tuluva Technologies). Cookies enable Tuluva to offer the Tuluva Products to you and to understand the information that we receive about you, including information about your use of other websites and apps, whether or not you are registered or logged in.

 

This policy explains how we use cookies and the choices you have. Except as otherwise stated in this policy, the Data Policy will apply to our processing of the data that we collect via cookies.

Cookies help us provide, protect and improve the Tuluva Products, such as by personalising content, tailoring and measuring ads, and providing a safer experience. The cookies that we use include session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which stay in your browser until they expire or you delete them. While the cookies that we use may change from time to time as we improve and update the Tuluva Products, we use them for the following purposes:

 

Authentication

We use cookies to verify your account and determine when you’re logged in so that we can make it easier for you to access the Tuluva Products and show you the appropriate experience and features.

For example: We use cookies to keep you logged in as you navigate between Tuluva Pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you don’t have to keep logging in to Tuluva and so you can more easily log in to Tuluva via third-party apps and websites. For example, we use the “c_user” and “xs” cookies for this purpose, with a lifespan of 365 days.

 

Security, site and product integrity

 

We use cookies to help us keep your account, data and the Tuluva Products safe and secure.

For example: Cookies can help us identify and impose additional security measures when someone may be attempting to access a Tuluva account without authorisation, for instance, by rapidly guessing different passwords. We also use cookies to store information that allows us to recover your account in the event that you forget your password or to require additional authentication if you tell us that your account has been hacked. This includes, for example, our “sb” and “dbln” cookies, which enable us to identify your browser securely.

 

We also use cookies to combat activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the Tuluva Products.

For example: Cookies help us fight spam and phishing attacks by enabling us to identify computers that are used to create large numbers of fake Tuluva accounts. We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malware and to take steps to prevent them from causing further harm. Our “csrf” cookie, for example, helps us prevent cross-site request forgery attacks. Cookies also help us prevent underage people from registering for Tuluva accounts.

 

Advertising, recommendations, insights and measurement

 

We use cookies to help us show ads and to make recommendations for businesses and other organisations to people who may be interested in the products, services or causes they promote.

 

For example: Cookies allow us to help deliver ads to people who have previously visited a business’s website, purchased its products or used its apps and to recommend products and services based on that activity. Cookies also allow us to limit the number of times that you see an ad so you don’t see the same ad over and over again. For example, the “fr” cookie is used to deliver, measure and improve the relevancy of ads, with a lifespan of 90 days.

 

We also use cookies to help measure the performance of ad campaigns for businesses that use the Tuluva Products.

 

For example: We use cookies to count the number of times that an ad is shown and to calculate the cost of those ads. We also use cookies to measure how often people do things, such as make a purchase following an ad impression. The “_fbp” cookie identifies browsers for the purposes of providing advertising and site analytics services and has a lifespan of 90 days. .

 

Cookies help us serve and measure ads across different browsers and devices used by the same person.

 

For example: We can use cookies to prevent you from seeing the same ad over and over again across the different devices that you use.

 

Cookies also allow us to provide insights about the people who use the Tuluva Products, as well as the people who interact with the ads, websites and apps of our advertisers and the businesses that use the Tuluva Products.

 

For example: We use cookies to help businesses understand the kinds of people who like their Tuluva Page or use their apps so that they can provide more relevant content and develop features that are likely to be interesting to their customers.

We also use cookies, such as our “oo” cookie, which has a lifespan of five years, to help you opt out of seeing ads from Tuluva based on your activity on third-party websites. Learn more about the information we receive, how we decide which ads to show you on and off the Tuluva Products and the controls that are available to you.

 

Site features and services

We use cookies to enable the functionality that helps us provide the Tuluva Products.

For example: Cookies help us store preferences, know when you’ve seen or interacted with Tuluva Products’ content and provide you with customised content and experiences. For instance, cookies allow us to make suggestions to you and others, and to customise content on third-party sites that integrate our social plugins. If you are a Page administrator, cookies allow you to switch between posting from your personal Tuluva account and the Page. We use cookies such as the session-based “presence” cookie to support your use of Messenger chat windows.

 

We also use cookies to help provide you with content relevant to your locale.

For example: We store information in a cookie that is placed on your browser or device so that you will see the site in your preferred language

.

Performance

We use cookies to provide you with the best experience possible.

 

For example: Cookies help us route traffic between servers and understand how quickly Tuluva Products load for different people. Cookies also help us record the ratio and dimensions of your screen and windows and know whether you’ve enabled high-contrast mode, so that we can render our sites and apps correctly. For example, we set the “dpr” and “wd” cookies, each with a lifespan of 7 days, to deliver an optimal experience for your device’s screen.

 

Analytics and research

We use cookies to better understand how people use the Tuluva Products so that we can improve them.

 

For example: Cookies can help us understand how people use the Tuluva service, analyse which parts of the Tuluva Products people find most useful and engaging, and identify features that could be improved.

 

Google Analytics

We also set cookies from the Tuluva.com domain that work with the Google Analytics service to help us understand how businesses use Tuluva’s developer sites. These cookies have names such as __utma, __utmb, __utmc, __utmz, __qca and _ga.

 

Third-party websites and apps

Our business partners may also choose to share information with Tuluva from cookies set in their own websites’ domains, whether or not you have a Tuluva account or are logged in. Specifically, cookies named _fbc or _fbp may be set on the domain of the Tuluva business partner whose site you’re visiting. Unlike cookies that are set on Tuluva’s own domains, these cookies aren’t accessible by Tuluva when you’re on a site other than the one on which they were set, including when you are on one of our domains. They serve the same purposes as cookies set in Tuluva’s own domain, which are to personalise content (including ads), measure ads, produce analytics and provide a safer experience, as set out in this Cookies Policy.

 

We may place cookies on your computer or device and receive information stored in cookies when you use or visit:

 

  • The Tuluva Products;
  • Products provided by other members of the Tuluva Companies; and
  • Websites and apps provided by other companies that use the Tuluva Products, including companies that incorporate the Tuluva Technologies into their websites and apps. Tuluva uses cookies and receives information when you visit those sites and apps, including device information and information about your activity, without any further action from you. This occurs whether or not you have a Tuluva account or are logged in.

Yes, other parties may use cookies on the Tuluva Products to provide services to us and the businesses that advertise on Tuluva.

 

For example, our measurement partners use cookies on the Tuluva Products to help advertisers understand the effectiveness of their Tuluva advertising campaigns and to compare the performance of those campaigns against ads displayed on other websites and apps. Learn more about the companies that use cookies on the Tuluva Products.

 

Third parties also use cookies on their own sites and apps in connection with the Tuluva Products. To understand how other parties use cookies, please review their policies.

We use cookies to help personalise and improve content and services, provide a safer experience and to show you useful and relevant ads on and off Tuluva. You can control how we use data to show you ads and more by using the tools described below.

  • The Tuluva Audience Network is a way for advertisers to show you ads in apps and websites off the Tuluva Company Products. One of the ways that Audience Network shows relevant ads is by using your ad preferences to determine which ads you may be interested in seeing. You can control this in your ad settings.
  • You can review your Off-Tuluva activity, which is a summary of activity that businesses and organisations share with us about your interactions with them, such as visiting their apps or websites. They use our business tools, such as Tuluva pixel, to share this information with us. This helps us do things like give you a more personalised experience on Tuluva.

Please be aware that certain individuals might approach you by falsely presenting themselves as our Tuluva Team Member, affiliates, agents or representatives. Under this false presence, they may try to gain access to your personal information or any other confidential/valuable information and thereby extort money from you or other valuables from you by offering fictitious opportunities or by claiming that they are contacting you on our behalf. The said individual or organization may also by false representation assure you that they will match up with an ideal family/partner if you pay them a certain sum of money. Such fraudulent offers and claims are usually received via email, the internet, text message, phone, etc. These claims and offers are fraudulent and invalid and you are strongly advised to exercise greater caution when you receive such an offer  or notice. Be well informed of such scams.

We hereby list out some of the features such an offer or claim may have:

  • It may include a phone or instant message for suitable match up
  • Fees or Other charges may be requested to act upon/take further action
  • You may be requested to disclose private, sensitive or confidential information
  • You may be told that you were contacted in such a manner because it is a matter of urgency

Such an offer or claim will probably be in the form of an email sent from a fake email address or from a free email provider such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook, etc., and not from an official Tuluva’s email address. (Official mail :bpci@tuluva.in ) Please take extra caution while dealing with such a sham email address, as the perpetrators may misspell our official email address and use a slightly modified version of the said email address.

We reserve all the rights to take legal action against any such claims which may arise from such fraudulent actions, before appropriate legal authority / forum. Accordingly, we request you to immediately get in touch with us via  email at bpci@tuluva.in upon receiving any such suspicious offer or claim and in addition also notify the police or other competent authority.

Tuluva is committed to provide you with a safe & secure platform. Despite all we do to make the platform secure, we advise some precautions while using our sites and apps:

  1. If a user appears to have entered false, incorrect information about themself, their education, profession, family etc., mark such profiles as Report Us and refrain from contacting that user.
  2. If a user asks for personal favors like transportation of goods, deposit of funds on their behalf, lend them some money etc., immediately cease the communication with the said user and report the said profile.
  3. Be cautious of fake or copy sites which may look similar but are actually owned by people who may have malicious intent. Many sites have a similar appearance as Tuluva but they are not in any way related or affiliated to Tuluva. Please check the URL of the site (www.tuluva.in)
  4. Representatives from these fake sites may reach out to you to get membership fees or for registering your profiles. Exercise caution and alert our customer service if and when this happens.
  5. Beware of people who pretend to call from the Tuluva asking for your user Ids and passwords to login to your account. Please note that Tuluva Team Members never ask you for user password information either on phone or in person.
  6. Never share your financial details like bank account number, online banking credentials, credit card details etc. and be wary of those who ask for money from you. Use sound judgement and do not take any decision in a hurry.
