Cookie Policy

DR Johns Lab Pvt. Ltd. Last updated: May 2026


1. What This Policy Covers

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones drjohnslab.com uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

Read this alongside our GDPR & Data Protection Policy, which covers personal data more broadly.


2. What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves to your browser when you visit. The next time you visit the same site, your browser sends that file back — which lets the website remember things like your preferences or how you navigated the site last time.

Cookies are not programs. They cannot run code, carry viruses, or access files on your device. They are just data — small packets of text stored in your browser.

Some cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser tab. These are called session cookies. Others stay on your device for a set period and are called persistent cookies.

Cookies can be set directly by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by external services embedded in the page — such as analytics platforms or map tools (third-party cookies).


3. Cookies We Use on drjohnslab.com

drjohnslab.com is a straightforward B2B pharma manufacturing information site. We do not run an online shop, a subscription service, or a consumer portal. That limits the number and type of cookies we need. We do not use advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, or any tracking technology designed to follow you across other websites.

Here is what we do use:


3A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies keep the site working. Without them, basic features — like the contact form, navigation, and page loading — would break. They cannot be switched off in our systems.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
PHPSESSID Maintains your browser session while you navigate between pages on the site Session (deleted when browser closes) First-party
csrf_token Protects the contact form against cross-site request forgery — prevents spam bots from submitting fake enquiries Session First-party

These cookies do not collect personal information and are not used for any tracking or analytics purpose.


3B. Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages get the most visits, how long people stay, and where they come from. We use this data in aggregate to improve the site. No individual visitor is identified.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
_ga Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors 2 years First-party (set by Google Analytics)
ga[ID] Google Analytics — stores session state 2 years First-party (set by Google Analytics)
_gid Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors, refreshed daily 24 hours First-party (set by Google Analytics)
_gat Google Analytics — limits request rate to prevent server overload 1 minute First-party (set by Google Analytics)

About Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors use this website. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser. The data collected — including page views, session duration, and broad geographic region — is sent to Google servers. We have enabled IP anonymisation, which means the last portion of your IP address is masked before any data is stored. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising or remarketing.

Google's data practices are governed by Google's own Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy


3C. Functional Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the site — such as your cookie preference selection — so you do not have to repeat them on every visit.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
cookie_consent Stores your cookie preference (accepted / declined / preferences saved) 12 months First-party

3D. Cookies We Do Not Use

To be clear about what is not on this site:

  • No advertising cookies or retargeting pixels (Google Ads remarketing, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag)
  • No social media tracking cookies embedded in page content
  • No heat mapping or session recording tools (Hotjar, Clarity, etc.)
  • No cross-site tracking technologies
  • No cookies that identify you personally without your direct input

If this changes in the future, we will update this policy before any new cookie is placed.


4. Third-Party Services That May Set Cookies

Some pages on this website embed or link to external services. These services may set their own cookies independently of us.

Google Maps: If any page on this site embeds a Google Maps widget to display our office or plant location, Google may set cookies through that embed. These are governed by Google's Cookie Policy.

WhatsApp chat widget: The WhatsApp click-to-chat button at the bottom of the page is a link to WhatsApp's messaging service. Clicking it opens WhatsApp — it does not set cookies on our site by itself.

Social media links: Our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter) icons are plain hyperlinks. They do not embed tracking pixels or set cookies on this site. Clicking them takes you to those platforms, which have their own cookie policies.

We do not control what cookies third-party services set. If you want to understand how they work, check the respective platform's own cookie or privacy policy.


5. Your Cookie Choices

You have several ways to manage cookies. None of them require you to contact us.

Browser settings — the most direct method:

Every modern browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies. Here is where to find those settings:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
  • Safari (Mac): Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Safari (iPhone/iPad): Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data
  • Opera: Settings → Advanced → Privacy & security → Site Settings → Cookies

If you block all cookies, some parts of this website may not work correctly. The contact form in particular relies on a session cookie to function.

Cookie consent banner:

When you first visit drjohnslab.com, a cookie consent notice appears. You can accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually. Your choice is stored for 12 months. You can change it at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will show the consent notice again.

Opting out of Google Analytics specifically:

If you want to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites — not just ours — Google provides a browser add-on for this purpose: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout


6. Cookie Law — What Applies to drjohnslab.com

For Indian visitors:

India's Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) govern how we handle data collected through this website, including data collected via cookies. The DPDPA requires us to be transparent about data collection and to provide a mechanism for you to manage your preferences. This policy and our consent banner fulfil that requirement.

For visitors from the European Union:

The EU GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (commonly called the EU Cookie Law) require that we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Our cookie consent banner is designed to meet this requirement. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. Analytics and functional cookies are placed only after you have consented.

For visitors from the United Kingdom:

The UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) apply the same consent requirements as the EU framework. The same consent mechanism applies.

For visitors from the United States (California):

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California residents the right to know what data is collected about them and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal data. Cookie analytics data collected on this site is used only to improve the website and is not sold or shared with advertisers.


7. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked.

There is currently no universally agreed technical standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our cookie or analytics practices based on a DNT signal from your browser. If an industry standard for DNT compliance is established and adopted, we will review our approach accordingly.


8. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookie Category Typical Duration
Session cookies (strictly necessary) Deleted when you close your browser
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) Up to 2 years
Consent preference cookie 12 months

You can delete all cookies from your browser at any time using your browser's built-in tools. If you do this, your cookie consent preference will also be cleared and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.


9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We review this policy when we add, remove, or change the cookies or third-party services used on this website. When we make changes, we update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If we add a new category of cookie — particularly any advertising or remarketing cookie — we will update this policy before placing that cookie and will show the consent banner again to existing visitors.
