Transparent Data Practices

Cookie & Security Policy

We respect your digital privacy. This policy explains how Buzz Pune utilizes cookies, browser local storage, and enterprise encryption to safeguard your browsing and trading experience.

What are Cookies & Browser Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit websites. In modern web applications, browsers also use Local Storage to store preferences locally on your device without sending unnecessary data over the internet with every request.

Buzz Pune strictly limits cookies to necessary authentication, security verification, and hyperlocal convenience. We do not sell your personal data or browsing history to third-party ad networks.

Categories of Cookies We Deploy

1. Essential Session Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

Required

These cookies allow you to log in securely, navigate authenticated seller dashboards, create ads, and maintain CSRF protection. The platform cannot function properly without them.

Typical Retention: Session / 30 Days

2. Functional & Preference Storage

Functional

Used to store your chosen Pune locality filter (e.g., Baner, Wakad, Hinjewadi) and your saved ads wishlist locally so you don’t have to reconfigure filters on every page refresh.

Typical Retention: Persistent Local Storage

3. Analytics & Performance Metrics

Performance

Anonymized page views and search telemetry that help us detect broken links, evaluate fast search response times, and understand which Pune neighborhoods have high demand.
