1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work efficiently, remember preferences, and deliver relevant marketing experiences.
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) used on franchise.hsim.in ("the Site"), and your choices about them.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential to operate the Site, secure form submissions, and remember session state. The Site cannot function without them, so they cannot be disabled.
2.2 Performance & Analytics
These cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are popular, where users drop off, and how to improve experience. They collect aggregated, non-identifying data.
2.3 Marketing & Retargeting
These cookies (e.g. Meta Pixel, Google Ads) measure ad campaign effectiveness and let us show relevant ads to people who have shown interest in the franchise opportunity. They may track activity across other websites.
2.4 Functional
These remember your preferences (such as previously dismissed banners) to make the experience smoother on return visits.
3. Specific Cookies We May Set
The exact cookies present depend on which third-party tools are loaded at the time you visit:
- _fbp — Meta Pixel; tracks ad attribution. Retention: ~90 days.
- _ga, _gid — Google Analytics; distinguishes unique users. Retention: up to 13 months.
- fr — Facebook; ad delivery and measurement. Retention: ~3 months.
- session-id — Site session continuity. Retention: session only.
4. How You Can Control Cookies
You have several options:
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block, delete, or get notified about cookies. Look in Settings → Privacy.
- Opt-out tools: Use industry-wide opt-out pages such as youronlinechoices.com (EU) or the Network Advertising Initiative.
- Do Not Track: We respect the DNT signal where supported by the relevant analytics provider.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact site functionality (for example, the franchise enquiry form may not submit correctly).
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties when their content loads on our pages (e.g. embedded videos, social media widgets, chat plugins). HSIM does not control these and you should review the relevant third-party privacy policies.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices evolve or as required by law. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
