Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies enable a faster log-in process, and some allow us to track your activities on our Services. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to disable cookies or change your cookies settings.

Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags and Other Technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags) in connection with our Services to, for example, track the activities of visitors to our Site, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our Sites. We may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

Local Storage Objects. We may use Local Storage Objects (“LSOs”), including Flash LSOs, to store your preferences and to personalize your visit. LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions.

Do Not Track Disclosure. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies).

We use these tools to gather information about users to help us improve our Services, performance, and user experiences.

Data Security

The security of personal information is important and Drivekaroindia has implemented safeguards to protect the personal information it collects. To prevent unauthorized access and maintain data accuracy, we deploy a wide range of technical, physical, and administrative safeguards, including: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, Firewalls, system alerts, and other information system security technologies; housing personal data in secure facilities that restrict physical and network access; and regular evaluation and enhancement of our information technology systems, facilities, and information collection, storage and processing practices.  However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of digital storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Further, you should take steps to protect your device and/or account by, for example, logging off when you have finished with a session and choosing a robust password that no one else knows or could easily guess.
