Cookies & Data Collection

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

Startupkaro private limited uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary: Cookies required for core functionality such as authentication and session management. These cannot be disabled.
• Functional: Cookies that remember your preferences (e.g., sidebar state) to improve your experience.
• Analytics: Cookies used to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our website, so we can improve it.

We use third-party analytics tools to understand how our website and app are used. Depending on the page, these tools may collect:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Button clicks and form interaction events
• Browser and device type
• Approximate geographic location (country/city level, derived from IP)
• Session recordings (if enabled), these capture UI interactions, not keystrokes or passwords

This data is not used for advertising and is not shared with third-party ad networks. We are not obligated to, and do not, disclose the identity of the specific analytics or technology partners we use.

Authorized Startupkaro private limited staff can view aggregated, anonymized visitor statistics (such as visitor counts and popular pages) through our internal admin tools. This internal view does not identify individual visitors.

We do not publish a list of individual cookie names, as this changes as our tools evolve and we are not obligated to disclose it. In general, the cookies we and our service providers set fall into the categories described above:

• Strictly necessary cookies typically last for your browser session or a short configurable period, and keep you signed in.
• Functional cookies typically last a few days to a few weeks, and remember interface preferences such as panel or sidebar state.
• Analytics cookies typically last up to a year, and help us recognise repeat visits for usage statistics.

Browser settings: You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being set. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core site functionality from working (e.g., you will not be able to log in).

Opt-out of analytics:If you do not wish to be tracked by our analytics tools, you can decline analytics cookies through the cookie consent banner, use a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts, or enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings.

In addition to cookies, we may collect technical data server-side, including your IP address, referrer URL, and request metadata for security and fraud prevention purposes. This data is not used for advertising. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookies Policy as we adopt new tools or change our practices. Updates will be reflected on this page with a revised date.
