2. What Are Cookies?
Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. These files contain information that can be read by the website on subsequent visits, allowing the website to remember information about your visit and preferences.
Cookies are a standard technology used by most websites to enhance user experience, improve functionality, and gather analytics about website usage.
How Cookies Work
When you visit our website, we may place one or more cookies on your device. These cookies allow us to:
Recognize you when you return to our website
Remember your preferences and settings
Understand how you use our website and services
Provide personalized content and features
Improve our website performance and functionality
Keep your account secure and authenticated
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we use for analytics, advertising, or other purposes (third-party cookies).
Difference Between Cookies and Similar Technologies
While cookies are the most common tracking technology, we also use similar technologies that serve comparable purposes:
Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store larger amounts of data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request.
Pixels (Web Beacons): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views, email opens, and user behavior.
SDKs (Software Development Kits): Code libraries integrated into mobile applications that collect usage data and enable specific functionality.
Tags: Small pieces of code on web pages that trigger actions such as tracking page views or collecting analytics data.
Beacons: Tracking technologies that send information about your interaction with content back to servers for analysis.
Throughout this policy, when we refer to "cookies," we also include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for several important purposes that enhance your experience and help us provide better services:
To Ensure Website Functionality
Some cookies are essential for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features would not work, such as keeping you logged into your account, remembering items in your shopping cart, or maintaining your security settings.
To Improve Performance and Speed
We use cookies to optimize website performance by caching resources to reduce loading times, balancing server load across multiple systems, storing preferences to reduce repeated data requests, and reducing bandwidth usage through efficient data storage.
To Understand User Behavior
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, including which pages are most popular, how long visitors spend on different pages, where visitors come from (search engines, social media, direct links), which features are used most frequently, and where users encounter problems or errors.
To Personalize Experience
Cookies allow us to remember your preferences and provide a customized experience, including language and region preferences, display settings, content recommendations based on your interests, and previously viewed items or services.
To Enable Security Features
Security cookies protect your account and our systems by detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, verifying user identity during authentication, and monitoring for suspicious behavior patterns.
To Support Marketing and Advertising
We use cookies to deliver relevant marketing content and measure campaign effectiveness, including showing relevant advertisements based on your interests, preventing the same ad from appearing too frequently, measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and understanding which marketing channels drive the most value.
To Provide SaaS Tool Functionality
For our software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools and dashboards, cookies enable critical functionality such as maintaining user sessions across multiple pages, saving work in progress to prevent data loss, synchronizing data across different parts of the application, and enabling real-time collaboration features.

These cookies may be set by our advertising partners and may track your browsing activity across different websites to build a profile of your interests.
4.5 Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you are visiting. We use various third-party services that may set their own cookies for analytics, advertising, payment processing, and other purposes.
Payment gateways: Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal for payment processing
Embedded video platforms: YouTube, Vimeo for video content
Cloud services: AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare for hosting and CDN
We do not control third-party cookies. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the third-party providers. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they use cookies and collect data.
5. Cookies Used in SaaS Tools and Dashboards
Our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms, tools, and dashboards use specific cookies that are essential for providing cloud-based application functionality:
Session Authentication Cookies
These cookies maintain your logged-in state across our SaaS platform, ensuring continuous authentication without repeated login prompts, secure session management with encrypted tokens, automatic logout after periods of inactivity, and protection against session hijacking and unauthorized access.

Note: This table provides examples of cookies we may use. The actual cookies on your device may vary depending on which services you use, how you interact with our website, and your consent preferences. Third-party cookies are subject to the respective third party's privacy policy.
7. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose and how they are configured. We use two main types based on duration:
Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are typically used for maintaining your login state during a browsing session, keeping items in your shopping cart as you browse, storing form data as you fill out multi-page forms, and temporary security tokens.
Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. They are used for remembering your preferences across multiple visits, keeping you logged in between sessions (if you select "Remember Me"), analytics and tracking over time, and advertising and retargeting campaigns.
Typical Retention Durations
Session cookies: Deleted when browser is closed
Short-term cookies: 24 hours to 7 days
Medium-term cookies: 30 days to 6 months
Long-term cookies: 1 to 2 years
Automatic Deletion Rules
Cookies may be automatically deleted when they reach their expiration date, when you manually clear your browser's cookies and cache, when you use browser privacy modes (incognito/private browsing), when browser storage limits are exceeded (older cookies may be deleted), or when you log out of your account (for some session-related cookies).
8. How We Obtain Consent for Cookies
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that informs you about our use of cookies and provides options to accept or customize your cookie preferences. The banner includes a brief explanation of why we use cookies, a link to this full Cookie Policy, options to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize preferences, and information about strictly necessary cookies that cannot be disabled.
First-Visit Consent
On your first visit, only strictly necessary cookies are activated by default. Non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, functional) are only activated after you provide explicit consent through the cookie banner.
Granular Consent Options
Our cookie consent mechanism provides granular control over different cookie categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: Always active (no consent required)
Performance & Analytics Cookies: Can be enabled or disabled independently
Functional Cookies: Optional, can be controlled separately
Advertising & Targeting Cookies: Optional, can be controlled separately
Third-Party Cookies: Can be managed by category or individually where applicable
Consent Validity Requirements
For consent to be valid under GDPR and other regulations, it must be freely given (not bundled with acceptance of terms and conditions), specific (separate consent for different purposes and cookie types), informed (clear information about what you are consenting to), unambiguous (clear affirmative action, such as clicking "Accept"), and revocable (easy to withdraw at any time).
No Cookie Walls
We do not use "cookie walls" that completely block access to our website if you reject non-essential cookies. You can access public content, browse product and service information, read blog posts and resources, and contact us without accepting non-essential cookies. However, certain advanced features and personalized experiences may require acceptance of functional cookies.
Consent Renewal
We may ask you to renew your consent when we make significant changes to how we use cookies, when we introduce new types of cookies requiring consent, after 12 months to ensure your preferences are still current, or when required by changes in privacy laws.
9. How to Manage and Control Cookies
Browser-Based Cookie Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies from all websites, block third-party cookies only, delete cookies when you close the browser, alert you before accepting cookies, or view and delete individual cookies.
Browser-Specific Instructions

Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. To delete existing cookies: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.
Mozilla Firefox
Click the menu button → select Settings → Privacy & Security panel → Under Cookies and Site Data, click Manage Data to view and remove cookies. Adjust Enhanced Tracking Protection settings as needed.
Safari (macOS)
Click Safari in the menu bar → select Preferences → Privacy tab → Adjust cookie and website tracking settings → Click Manage Website Data to view and remove cookies.
Microsoft Edge
Click the three-dot menu → Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data → Choose your cookie settings or manage individual cookies.
Safari (iOS) and Chrome (Android)
On iOS: Open Settings → tap Safari → Under Privacy & Security, adjust cookie settings → Tap Clear History and Website Data to remove cookies. On Android: Open Chrome → tap the three-dot menu → Settings → Site settings → Cookies → Adjust cookie preferences.

Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we provide multiple ways to control cookies and tracking as described in this section.
10. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to refuse or disable cookies, doing so may impact your experience on our website and limit functionality.
Impact on Essential Features
If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you may experience login issues (unable to log in or stay logged in), security problems (security features may not work properly), form submission failures (multi-step forms may not retain information between pages), shopping cart issues (items may not stay in your cart as you browse), and session interruptions (frequent disconnections requiring re-authentication).
Impact on Personalization
Disabling functional cookies may result in loss of saved preferences (language, region, display settings), repetitive prompts for settings you have already configured, generic content instead of personalized recommendations, reset customization every time you visit, and inability to remember your previous choices or selections.
Impact on Analytics & Advertising
Disabling analytics cookies means we cannot understand which features are most valuable to you, making it harder for us to identify and fix problems. Without advertising cookies, you will still see ads but they may be less relevant to your interests, and you may see the same ad repeatedly.
Access to personalized dashboards, SaaS tools, and account-specific features will be significantly limited or impossible without accepting necessary cookies. You may still browse public areas, view general information, and contact us through email or phone.
11. Cookies and Similar Technologies
While this policy primarily discusses HTTP cookies, we also use other tracking technologies that serve similar purposes. Understanding these technologies helps you make informed decisions about your privacy.
Local Storage and Session Storage
Web storage technologies that allow websites to store larger amounts of data in your browser compared to traditional cookies. We use them for storing user preferences and application settings, caching data for offline functionality, improving performance by reducing server requests, and saving work in progress in SaaS applications. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent to the server with every HTTP request.
Web Beacons and Pixels
Small, invisible graphics embedded in web pages or emails, also known as "tracking pixels" or "pixel tags." We use them for tracking email open rates and engagement, measuring page views and user interactions, monitoring advertising campaign performance, and understanding user navigation patterns.
Device Fingerprinting
A technique that collects information about your device configuration (browser type, operating system, screen resolution, installed fonts, timezone) to create a unique identifier. We use this primarily for fraud prevention and security purposes. We do not use fingerprinting as a primary tracking method for analytics or advertising.
SDKs (Software Development Kits)
Code libraries integrated into mobile applications that provide functionality and collect usage data. We use these in our mobile apps for analytics and crash reporting, push notification delivery, in-app messaging and communication, payment processing integration, and social media integration.
12. Cookies and Personal Data
When Cookies Constitute Personal Data
Under privacy laws such as GDPR and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) in India, cookies can constitute personal data when they can be used to identify an individual, either directly or in combination with other information.
Types of Data Collected Through Cookies
Cookies may collect directly identifiable information (user account IDs, email addresses, customer identification numbers), indirectly identifiable information (IP addresses, device identifiers, browser fingerprints, session identifiers, advertising IDs), behavioral and usage data (pages visited, click patterns, search queries, content preferences, purchase history), and technical information (browser type, operating system, device type, screen resolution, language preferences, timezone).
How Cookie Data Relates to Our Privacy Policy
Data collected through cookies is subject to the same privacy protections outlined in our Privacy Policy. This includes lawful basis for processing, purpose limitation, data minimization, storage limitation, security measures, and your rights regarding cookie data (access, deletion, portability).
Cookie Data Retention
Session cookies: Deleted immediately when you close your browser
Authentication cookies: Retained for the duration of your session or as long as you remain logged in
Preference cookies: Retained for up to 12 months or until you change your preferences
Analytics cookies: Aggregated data may be retained for up to 26 months for trend analysis
Advertising cookies: Typically retained for 3–12 months depending on the purpose
Cookie Data and Third Parties
Some cookie data may be shared with analytics providers (Google Analytics), advertising networks (Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads), customer support tools, payment processors (for transaction security and fraud prevention), and cloud service providers (for data storage and processing). We ensure that third parties handling cookie data do so in compliance with applicable privacy laws and our contractual requirements.
13. International Cookie Laws and Compliance
GDPR (European Union) Compliance
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements for cookies, including providing clear information before cookies are set, obtaining explicit consent before setting non-essential cookies, offering granular control, easy withdrawal of consent, and cookie-free browsing options.
ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law)
The ePrivacy Directive requires that we inform users about cookies before they are stored on their device, obtain consent before storing or accessing cookies (except strictly necessary cookies), provide clear information about the purpose of each cookie, and offer users the ability to refuse cookies without negative consequences.
CCPA/CPRA (California, USA)
For California residents, our cookie practices comply with the CCPA and CPRA, including the right to know what personal information is collected through cookies, the right to delete cookie data, the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information collected through cookies, and mechanisms to opt-out of data sharing for advertising purposes.
Digital Personal Data Protection Act (India)
As an Indian company, we comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), obtaining valid consent for processing personal data through cookies, using cookies only for specified legitimate purposes, complying with data localization requirements where applicable, and facilitating exercise of rights under the DPDP Act.
Other Jurisdictions
We also respect cookie regulations in other jurisdictions where our users are located, including Canada (PIPEDA), Australia (Privacy Act 1988), Brazil (LGPD), and South Africa (POPIA).
14. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Consent
Applies to: Analytics cookies, advertising cookies, non-essential functional cookies. We obtain explicit consent through our cookie consent banner. You can withdraw consent at any time through the Cookie Preference Center. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous, and easily revocable.
Legitimate Interest
Applies to: Some analytics cookies, fraud prevention cookies, security monitoring cookies. Our legitimate interests include improving our website based on usage data, protecting our systems and users from security threats, detecting and preventing fraud and abuse, and optimizing website performance. We have conducted a balancing test to ensure our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Contractual Necessity
Applies to: Session cookies, authentication cookies, SaaS application cookies. These cookies are essential to provide the services you have requested — maintaining your login session, processing your transactions, and delivering SaaS tools and functionality. Without these cookies, we cannot fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
Legal Obligation
Applies to: Cookies used for compliance, record-keeping, and security monitoring required by law. This includes tax and accounting record requirements, compliance with data protection laws, prevention of money laundering and fraud, and responding to law enforcement requests.
We rely on the most appropriate legal basis for each type of cookie and ensure that our processing is always proportionate, transparent, and respectful of your rights and expectations.
15. Cookie Security and Data Protection
Security Measures for Cookie Data
We implement robust security measures to protect data collected through cookies:
Encryption: Sensitive cookie data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest
Secure flag: Cookies containing sensitive information are marked with the "Secure" flag, ensuring they are only transmitted over HTTPS
HttpOnly flag: Session cookies use the HttpOnly flag to prevent access via JavaScript, protecting against XSS attacks
SameSite attribute: We use SameSite cookie attributes to prevent CSRF attacks
Token rotation: Authentication tokens are rotated regularly to minimize exposure risk
Access Controls
Cookie data is accessible only to authorized personnel with legitimate business needs. Role-based access controls limit who can view or modify cookie configurations, regular access reviews ensure appropriate permissions, and multi-factor authentication is required for accessing sensitive cookie management systems.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security against all threats.
Data Breach Response
In the unlikely event of a security breach involving cookie data, we will investigate the incident promptly, notify affected users as required by law, report to relevant data protection authorities when required, implement remediation measures to prevent recurrence, and cooperate with law enforcement if criminal activity is suspected.
16. Cross-Border Cookie Data Transfers
When Cookie Data Is Transferred Internationally
Some of the data collected through cookies may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries outside your jurisdiction, particularly when we use third-party services based in other countries. Cookie data may be transferred to and processed in India (our primary servers and operations), the United States (for services like Google Analytics, AWS, Cloudflare), the European Union (for some European-based service providers), and Singapore (for Asia-Pacific data center operations).
Safeguards for International Transfers
For EU/EEA users, we use EU-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with data processors outside the EEA, rely on European Commission adequacy decisions where available, and implement Data Protection Addenda ensuring GDPR-level protection. For Indian users, we comply with DPDP Act requirements for cross-border transfers and use contractual obligations ensuring adequate data protection.
Third-Party Transfer Controls
All third-party vendors are assessed for data protection compliance before engagement. Written Data Processing Agreements govern all data transfers to third parties. Third parties may only use cookie data for specified purposes and are prohibited from further transferring data without authorization. We conduct periodic reviews of third-party compliance.
Your Rights Regarding International Transfers
You have the right to request information about the safeguards in place for international transfers, obtain a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses we use, object to transfers to specific countries or regions, and lodge complaints with your local data protection authority about international transfers.
