COOKIE & LOCAL BROWSER STORAGE DISCLOSURE POLICY
Effective Date: September 25, 2026 | Last Reviewed: September 25, 2026
Formulated in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), and international ePrivacy / GDPR cookie transparency standards.
This Cookie Policy explains in complete technical and legal detail how Naughtyjoy (https://naughtyjoy.in, hereinafter referred to as "Naughtyjoy", "We", "Us", or "Our") uses HTTP cookies, HTML5 local browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), and session tokens when you visit or interact with our Website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies & Local Browser Storage?
- 1.1 HTTP Cookies: Cookies are small text strings placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet browser by a website you visit. They allow the website to recognize your browser session, remember security clearances (such as 18+ age verification), and keep registered users signed into their private dashboards.
- 1.2 HTML5 Local Storage (
localStorage&sessionStorage): Modern web browsers provide isolated local storage compartments on your device. Unlike traditional cookies, data stored inlocalStoragestays exclusively inside your device's browser and is not automatically transmitted to the server with every HTTP request, making it significantly more private for features like saving your favorite listings. - 1.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Storage: First-party cookies/storage are set directly by
naughtyjoy.insolely for platform functionality. Third-party cookies are set by external domains (such as analytics or external media providers).
2. Legal Basis for Using Cookies & Storage
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India) and ePrivacy standards:
- Strictly Necessary & Statutory Compliance Storage: Cookies and storage keys required to enforce the mandatory 18+ RTA Adult Age Gate, authenticate logged-in Advertisers, prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and protect against DDoS/bot attacks are processed as strictly necessary for service delivery and legal compliance.
- Voluntary Functional & Analytics Storage: Local preferences (such as bookmarked favorite listings) and aggregated performance diagnostics are stored based on your voluntary interaction and browser consent settings.
3. Detailed Classification of Technologies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary & Authentication Security Tokens
These technologies are essential for the secure operation of Naughtyjoy. When an Advertiser or Administrator logs into their dashboard, we store cryptographic JSON Web Tokens (JWT access and refresh session state) so you can create listings, upload photos, and manage your Wallet Coins without re-entering your password on every page click.
3.2 Statutory 18+ Age-Gate Verification Storage
Because Naughtyjoy is an adult classifieds platform restricted strictly to individuals aged 18 and older, we store a local confirmation flag once you affirm that you are 18+. Without this storage key, you would be forced to click through the 18+ legal warning modal on every single page navigation.
3.3 Discreet Client-Side Favorites & UI Preferences
To protect visitor anonymity, Naughtyjoy allows you to bookmark/favorite listings (the heart icon) without creating an account. Your saved listing IDs are stored locally on your own device in localStorage. We also store lightweight UI state (such as your recently selected city filter or session cache) to make browsing instantaneous.
3.4 Aggregated Performance & Diagnostic Telemetry
Where configured in site settings (such as optional Google Tag / GA4 measurement), lightweight analytics cookies may be used solely to measure aggregate traffic volume, popular city pages, and mobile vs. desktop page-load performance. IP addresses are anonymized and never linked to offline identities.

Listing pages on Naughtyjoy contain direct peer-to-peer action buttons (tel:, https://wa.me/..., and https://t.me/...). Please note that once you click an external WhatsApp or Telegram link, you leave naughtyjoy.in and interact directly with WhatsApp or Telegram servers, which operate under their own respective cookie and privacy policies over which Naughtyjoy has no control.
