TrendKia, having its registered office at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India (“we”, “us”, “our”, “TrendKia”), is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data — your privacy is important to us. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use in making the website (“Website”).
This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) applies to the Website that links to this Policy and is offered by us to all individuals (“you”, “your”, “user”). We use cookies to provide our services (“Services”) and improve your experience of the Website.
This Policy explains how and why we use cookies and the choices you have. It describes the usage of the data captured using cookies, which we collect from you when you access or use the Website.
Before using our Website or availing any of our products and/or services, you are advised to carefully read the Privacy Policy of our Website. Except as otherwise stated in this Policy, the Privacy Policy shall govern the way we collect and process data via cookies. By visiting and/or using our Website, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of cookies in the manner set forth in this Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that the Website saves on your computer, mobile, tablet, or any other device (“Device”) when you visit the Website, to the extent you agree to it. It enables the Website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, location, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you revisit the Website or browse different pages — making your next visit easier and helping us identify and learn more about your interests. This allows our Website to uniquely identify your device from those of other users.
2. Why Do We Need Cookies?
We use cookies to offer you a more tailored experience by understanding and remembering your browsing preferences. We use cookies for various purposes, such as:
- To provide you with our services and offer a better browsing experience;
- To make this Website and its content available to you and to further optimise and develop it;
- To provide non-personalised or personalised advertisements;
- To identify and distinguish between a human and a bot;
- To identify your browser and device;
- To perform analytics and research based on aggregate data;
- For fraud detection and prevention;
- To measure and analyse the audience for each page in order to subsequently improve browsing or the visibility of content;
- To measure the reliability of our Website by analysing the number of visits to its pages in real time, and to offer varied ads adapted to users’ areas of interest;
- To detect unauthorised access to the Website and minimise blocking of legitimate users.
3. How Long Do Cookies Stay on Your Device?
We do not store data for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes covered here. A number of cookies we use last only for the duration of your web session and expire when you close your browser or exit the Website. Others are used to remember you when you return to the Website and will last depending on their purpose.
4. Types of Cookies

If you choose to opt out, we may not be able to provide you an optimum Website experience.
Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by third parties when you access or use our Website.
