It provides detailed information about the cookies and similar technologies referred to at a high level in the Privacy Policy. It expands and should be read together with the Privacy Policy. It does not replace the Privacy Policy, and it does not override the Terms & Conditions.
This Cookie Policy describes categories of cookies and similar technologies by reference to their purpose and function. It does not describe how any particular technology operates, and it does not commit the company to using any specific technology, provider, or method. The technologies used may change over time as the platform, its services, and the underlying technologies evolve.
Please read this cookie policy carefully. By accessing or using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this cookie policy. Where required under applicable laws, certain cookies and similar technologies are used on the basis of consent or another lawful basis, as described below.
Quick Summary (Non-Binding): This summary is provided for convenience only. It does not replace or modify the full Cookie Policy, and the detailed provisions shall prevail in case of any inconsistency.
This Cookie Policy applies to Cookies and similar technologies used on or through the Platform and the associated websites, applications, interfaces, tools, and services operated by the Company, to the extent such technologies are made available at the relevant time.

The broader processing of personal data, including the categories of information collected, the purposes and legal bases for processing, data sharing, retention, security, and the rights of data principals, is addressed in the privacy policy, and this cookie policy should be read together with it. Where this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy relate to the same subject matter, the Privacy Policy governs privacy matters, and the Terms & Conditions govern contractual matters.
Unless otherwise specifically defined in this Cookie Policy, capitalised terms have the meanings given to them in the Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy. Similar terms maintain consistent meaning across all platform documents. Headings are provided for convenience only and do not independently determine legal meaning. Singular terms may include plural interpretations and vice versa where the context requires. For convenience, the following terms are used in this Cookie Policy:
Cookies and Similar Technologies means cookies and other technologies of a similar nature that may be used to store information on, or read information from, a device, or to recognise a device or session, in connection with your access to or use of the Platform. This term corresponds to the "Cookies and Tracking Technologies" defined in the Privacy Policy and is used in this Cookie Policy to describe such technologies by reference to their category and purpose. References in this Cookie Policy to "cookies" should be read as references to Cookies and Similar Technologies generally, unless the context requires otherwise.

Cookies are small data items that may be stored on, or read from, a device when you access or use the platform. Similar technologies are technologies of a comparable nature that may perform similar functions, such as storing information, reading previously stored information, or recognising a device or session. This cookie policy refers to these technologies collectively and describes them by category and purpose rather than by reference to any specific technology, provider, or method.
Cookies and similar technologies may be classified in different ways, including by:
Who operates them — First-Party Technologies operated by or on behalf of the Company, and Third-Party Technologies operated by Third-Party Services, as described under Third-Party Cookies and Third-Party Technologies and Services.
How long they last — Technologies that operate only for the duration of a session and generally end when you close your browser or end your session, and technologies that persist for a defined period or until removed, as described under Cookie Retention and Duration.
Their purpose — The functional categories described under Cookie Categories, which group these technologies according to the purposes they serve.
The specific Cookies and Similar Technologies in use, and their characteristics, may change over time as the Platform, its Services, and the underlying technologies evolve. The Company may introduce, modify, or discontinue particular technologies, and may adopt new technologies, according to the applicable process available at the relevant time. Where required under Applicable Laws, more detailed or current information may be made available through the Cookie Preference Mechanism or other notices on the Platform.
This section describes the categories of Cookies and Similar Technologies that may be used on the Platform. The categories are described by reference to their purpose and function, and not by reference to how any particular technology operates. A given technology may serve more than one purpose and may therefore fall within more than one category. The categories are intended to remain stable even as the specific technologies within them change over time.
The table below summarises these categories. It is illustrative and non-exhaustive, it does not identify any specific technology or provider, and it is subject to change. Where required under Applicable Laws, current details and the choices available to you may be made available through the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Preference Mechanism, or other notices on the Platform.
| Category | Purpose | Optional? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Support core operation, access, and security of the Platform. | Generally necessary; may not be possible to disable without affecting functionality. |
| Functional | Support preferences and settings to enable and improve the user experience. | May be optional, where applicable. |
| Analytics | Support understanding of how the Platform is accessed and used. | May be optional and subject to your choices, where required under Applicable Laws. |
| Performance | Support the measurement, maintenance, and improvement of Platform performance. | May be optional and subject to your choices, where required under Applicable Laws. |
| Advertising and Personalisation | Support personalisation and, where applicable and permitted, promotional measurement. | Optional where used, and subject to your choices, where required under Applicable Laws. |
| Other Technologies | Support comparable purposes through technologies that may not technically be cookies. | Treated according to the purpose they serve and the principles in this section. |
The classification of a particular technology as necessary or optional may depend on its purpose, the context in which it is used, the applicable jurisdiction, and Applicable Laws. The Company may introduce, modify, combine, or discontinue categories or technologies, and may make additional categories available, according to the applicable process available at the relevant time.
Essential technologies support the core operation, access, and security of the Platform. They are used for purposes such as enabling navigation and access to features, maintaining sessions, supporting authentication, and protecting the integrity and security of the Platform. These technologies are generally necessary for the Platform to function, and it may not be possible to disable them through Platform controls without affecting the availability or performance of the Platform.
Functional technologies support preferences and settings in order to enable and improve the user experience. They are used for purposes such as remembering choices and settings so that the Platform can operate in a manner consistent with your preferences. Where applicable, these technologies may be optional and may be subject to your choices.
Analytics technologies support an understanding of how the Platform is accessed and used. They are used for purposes such as helping the Company understand usage patterns and interactions, and supporting operational purposes such as error detection, troubleshooting, maintenance, security, and reliability, in order to maintain and improve the Platform and Services. Where required under Applicable Laws, these technologies may be optional and subject to your choices. The use of analytics technologies does not guarantee any particular outcome for any User.
Performance technologies support the measurement, maintenance, and improvement of Platform performance. They are used for purposes such as assessing how the Platform performs and supporting its reliability and quality. Where required under Applicable Laws, these technologies may be optional and subject to your choices.
Advertising and personalisation technologies support personalisation and, where applicable and legally permitted, promotional measurement. They are used for purposes such as supporting the relevance of content and, where applicable and legally permitted, the measurement of promotional activity on or in connection with the Platform. Where used, these technologies are optional and are subject to your choices, where required under Applicable Laws. The use of these technologies does not guarantee any particular level of visibility, engagement, inquiries, leads, orders, sales, revenue, or other commercial outcome for any User.
Other Technologies are technologies that may not technically be cookies but that serve purposes comparable to those described in the categories above, including future storage, measurement, security, fraud-prevention, consent-management, or similar technologies. Such technologies are treated according to the purpose they serve and the principles described in this section. Where a technology of this nature is necessary for the Platform to function, it is treated consistently with Essential technologies. Where it is optional, it may be subject to your choices, where required under Applicable Laws. This category is intended to allow the Platform to adopt new technologies over time without changing the principles set out in this Cookie Policy.
The Platform may use both First-Party Technologies and Third-Party Technologies. First-Party Technologies are set or operated by, or on behalf of, the Company. Third-Party Technologies are set or operated by Third-Party Services that the Platform may rely upon or reference for purposes consistent with the categories described under Cookie Categories.
Third-Party Technologies may operate under the terms, technologies, and privacy and cookie practices of the relevant Third-Party Service. The Company does not control, and is not responsible for, the independent practices of Third-Party Services. Where a feature relies on a Third-Party Service, information may be processed by that provider in accordance with its own terms and practices, and separate choices may be available to you through that provider. The Company may add, change, or remove Third-Party Services and the Third-Party Technologies they use, according to the applicable process available at the relevant time. Further provisions relating to Third-Party Services are set out under Third-Party Technologies and Services.
In addition to cookies, the Platform may use technologies of a similar nature that serve purposes comparable to those described in this Cookie Policy. Such technologies are addressed by reference to the purpose they serve, and are treated according to the same category principles described under Cookie Categories, including in relation to whether they are necessary or optional and, where applicable, subject to your choices.
This Cookie Policy does not identify specific similar technologies and does not commit the Company to using any particular technology, provider, or method. The Company may adopt, modify, or discontinue technologies of this nature over time, including technologies addressed under Other Technologies, according to the applicable process available at the relevant time. The treatment of such technologies remains governed by the principles in this Cookie Policy and, in relation to the processing of Personal Data, by the Privacy Policy.
Quick Summary (Non-Binding): This summary is provided for convenience only. It does not replace or modify the full Cookie Policy, and the complete provisions below shall prevail in case of any inconsistency. Where required under Applicable Laws, optional technologies are used on the basis of consent or another lawful basis. Essential technologies are generally used because they are needed to provide and secure the Platform. You may be able to manage optional technologies through a preference mechanism made available on the Platform.
Where required under Applicable Laws, the Company relies on consent or another lawful basis for the use of Cookies and Similar Technologies. Essential technologies are generally used on the basis that they are needed to provide the Platform and Services you request and to maintain the security and integrity of the Platform. Optional technologies, such as certain functional, analytics, performance, or advertising and personalisation technologies, may be used on the basis of consent or another lawful basis, where and to the extent required under Applicable Laws.
Where consent is required, the Company aims to obtain it through the Cookie Preference Mechanism or another method consistent with Applicable Laws, including, where applicable, by providing notice of the relevant purposes and the means by which you may exercise and manage your choices. The availability, design, and operation of any Cookie Preference Mechanism may vary depending on the Platform, the applicable jurisdiction, and Applicable Laws, and may be provided according to the applicable process available at the relevant time.
The broader treatment of consent and lawful bases for the processing of Personal Data, including under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 where applicable, is described in the Privacy Policy. Where this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy relate to consent for the processing of Personal Data, the Privacy Policy governs.
Where the use of optional Cookies and Similar Technologies is based on consent, you may withdraw or change your consent at any time, with effect for the future, through the Cookie Preference Mechanism, your browser or device settings, or another method made available on the Platform, as described under Browser Controls and Cookie Preferences. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any use carried out before the withdrawal, and does not affect technologies used on a lawful basis other than consent.
Where you withdraw consent for, or otherwise disable, certain optional technologies, some features or preferences may be limited, unavailable, or affected, as described under Browser Controls and Cookie Preferences. The Company may continue to use Essential technologies and to process information where required or permitted under Applicable Laws, including for purposes such as security, fraud prevention, and legitimate record-keeping, as described in the Privacy Policy. Further provisions relating to the withdrawal of Consent for the processing of Personal Data are set out in the Privacy Policy.
Quick Summary (Non-Binding): This summary is provided for convenience only. It does not replace or modify the full Cookie Policy, and the complete provisions below shall prevail in case of any inconsistency. You may be able to manage optional technologies through a preference mechanism on the Platform and through your browser or device settings. Some technologies are generally necessary and may not be possible to switch off without affecting functionality. Disabling certain technologies may affect how the Platform works.
Depending on the technologies in use and Applicable Laws, the following types of choices may be available to you:
Cookie Preference Mechanism — Where a Cookie Preference Mechanism is made available on the Platform, you may be able to review, accept, decline, or manage optional categories of Cookies and Similar Technologies, and to change your choices, according to the applicable process available at the relevant time.
Browser and device settings — Browsers and devices commonly provide settings that allow you to manage, restrict, or remove certain Cookies and Similar Technologies. The controls available, and their effect, depend on the relevant browser, device, and their versions, and are operated by you.
Third-party choices — Where Third-Party Technologies are used, the relevant Third-Party Service may offer its own choices or controls, which operate under that provider's terms and practices.
Preference signals — Some browsers or devices may offer preference signals relating to tracking or privacy. Practice and legal requirements relating to such signals continue to develop. The Company aims to respond to such signals to the extent required under Applicable Laws and according to the applicable process available at the relevant time.
You are responsible for managing the settings on the browsers and devices that you use. Because such settings are specific to each browser and device, you may need to manage your choices separately on each one, and your choices may be affected if you remove stored technologies or use a different browser or device. Restricting, blocking, or removing certain Cookies and Similar Technologies may affect the availability or performance of some Platform features, and some Essential technologies may not be possible to disable through Platform controls without affecting functionality.
Cookies and Similar Technologies may operate for different periods depending on their purpose and type. Some operate only for the duration of a session and generally end when you close your browser or end your session. Others persist for a defined period or until removed, depending on their purpose and the applicable settings. The duration of a particular technology may depend on its purpose, the relevant provider, the context in which it is used, and Applicable Laws.
Information collected through Cookies and Similar Technologies is retained and managed in accordance with the data retention principles described in the Privacy Policy, and may be retained where required or permitted under Applicable Laws, including for purposes such as security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legitimate record-keeping. You may be able to remove certain stored technologies through your browser or device settings at any time, subject to the effects described under Browser Controls and Cookie Preferences.
Information collected through Cookies and Similar Technologies may be processed or stored in India or in other locations, including through service providers operating in different jurisdictions, where the Company or Third-Party Services operate. Any such processing or transfer is intended to be handled in accordance with Applicable Laws relating to data protection, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 where applicable.
The broader provisions relating to international data transfers, including the basis on which information may be processed or transferred across jurisdictions, are set out in the Privacy Policy, and this section should be read together with that Policy.
The Platform may rely upon or reference Third-Party Services in connection with Cookies and Similar Technologies, for purposes consistent with the categories described under Cookie Categories, such as supporting infrastructure, security, communication, measurement, analytics, or, where applicable and legally permitted, advertising and personalisation. Third-Party Technologies set or operated by such Third-Party Services are used in that context.
Third-Party Services may operate under their own terms, technologies, limitations, and privacy and cookie practices. The Company does not control, and is not responsible for, the independent practices of Third-Party Services. Where a feature relies on a Third-Party Service, information may be processed by that provider in accordance with its own terms and practices, and separate choices may be available to you through that provider. The Company may add, change, or remove Third-Party Services and the Third-Party Technologies they use, according to the applicable process available at the relevant time. Further provisions relating to Third-Party Services and the disclosure or sharing of information are set out in the Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions.
Information collected through Cookies and Similar Technologies may, where applicable, support AI Systems and other automated technologies used to operate, secure, measure, and improve the Platform, for purposes consistent with the categories described under Cookie Categories, such as analytics, recommendations, search functionality, security, and fraud prevention. AI Systems and automated technologies are intended to assist Platform functionality.
AI Systems and automated technologies have limitations and may produce incomplete or inaccurate outputs. They do not guarantee correctness of all outputs, visibility, ranking position, inquiries, leads, orders, revenue, error-free operation, or commercial success, and they do not constitute legal, tax, financial, investment, or regulatory advice unless expressly stated under a separate authorised service. The Company may introduce, modify, or discontinue AI Systems and automated technologies over time, according to the applicable process available at the relevant time. The broader operation of AI Systems and automated processing is described in the Privacy Policy and any AI & Automated Systems Policy.
The Company may update or modify this Cookie Policy from time to time due to new Platform features, new or changed technologies, new Third-Party Services, technology developments, business changes, legal or regulatory developments, security requirements, or operational improvements. Where changes are material, the Company may communicate them through reasonable notice methods, such as notification through the Platform, the Cookie Preference Mechanism, email to the address associated with the Account, or posting on the official website.
Where required under Applicable Laws, or where operationally appropriate, the Company may seek renewed consent or acceptance before continuing to use certain optional Cookies and Similar Technologies. Subject to the foregoing and to Applicable Laws, your continued use of the Platform after an update may indicate awareness of the updated Cookie Policy. The latest applicable version of this Cookie Policy and official information shall govern, and the "Last Updated" date indicates when this Cookie Policy was most recently revised.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Privacy Policy governs privacy matters and the Terms govern contractual matters. Headings are provided for convenience only and do not independently determine legal meaning.
