1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Leelija Web Solutions Private Limited ("Fast Bill", "we", "us", or "our"), the operator of The Fast Bill, uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at thefastbill.com and in our mobile application (together, the "Service").
It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They let the site recognise your device, remember your actions and preferences, and keep you signed in across pages. "Similar technologies" include things like local storage, pixels, and software development kits (SDKs) in mobile apps, which serve comparable purposes.
Session vs. persistent cookies
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
First-party vs. third-party cookies
- First-party cookies are set by Fast Bill directly.
- Third-party cookies are set by service providers we use, such as our analytics provider.
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep you signed in and keep your account and session secure.
- Remember your settings and preferences, so the Service works the way you expect.
- Understand how the Service is used, so we can fix problems and improve it.
We do not currently use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking, and we do not sell your data. If this changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
4. Your consent
When you first visit our website, we show a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Service cannot work without them. For optional cookies — such as analytics — we set them only if you agree, in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time using the "Cookie settings" option on our website.
5. Cookies we use
The table below describes the cookies we typically use, grouped by category. Exact names and durations can change as we improve the Service, but the categories and purposes remain as described.
| Category | Example | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | session / auth | Keeps you signed in and secures your session. | Session (up to 30 days if "remember me" is on) |
| Strictly necessary | csrf_token | Protects forms and requests against cross-site request forgery. | Session |
| Strictly necessary | cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choices. | 6–12 months |
| Preferences | preferences | Remembers settings such as language and layout. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | usage analytics | Measures how the Service is used so we can improve it. | Up to 13 months |
| Analytics | session analytics | Distinguishes visitors for short-term usage measurement. | 24 hours |
Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them in the cookie banner.
6. Third-party cookies
To understand usage, we may rely on a third-party analytics provider, Google Analytics Such providers may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the policy of any provider we name here. We do not control third-party cookies, but you can manage them using the controls described in Section 7.
7. Managing your cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Our cookie banner — accept, reject, or change optional cookies at any time through "Cookie settings" on our website.
- Your browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Check your browser's help pages for instructions.
- Your device — mobile operating systems let you reset or limit advertising identifiers used by apps.
Please note: blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of the Service from working, including signing in.
8. "Do Not Track" signals
Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common industry standard for how to respond to it, so we currently rely on the choices you make in our cookie banner as the controlling preference.
9. Cookies in our mobile app
Our mobile application may use similar technologies — such as local storage, device identifiers, and SDKs — for the same purposes described above: keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences, and understanding usage. You can manage these through your device settings.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in the law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
