Welcome to our Cookies Policy

Effective Date: March 12, 2026  |  Last Updated: March 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy (the "Policy") explains how Eventic ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Eventic platform (the "Platform"), accessible at eventic.in. This Policy is issued in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as implemented across EU member states, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and all other applicable laws governing the use of cookies and tracking technologies.

This Policy applies to all users of the Platform worldwide. It should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which governs the broader processing of your personal data.

1. What Are Cookies & Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator.

In addition to cookies, we may also use the following similar technologies, and references to "cookies" in this Policy include these technologies unless otherwise specified:

1. Session storage and local storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that allow websites to store data locally on your device for the duration of a session or persistently.
2. Web beacons / pixel tags: Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that record whether a page or email has been opened and other interaction data.
3. Device fingerprinting: A technique that collects certain technical characteristics of your device to create a unique identifier for analytics and fraud prevention purposes.
4. SDKs and tracking scripts: Third-party code embedded in our Platform (such as analytics libraries) that may set their own cookies or collect data directly.

Cookies may be first-party (set directly by Eventic) or third-party (set by third-party services operating on our Platform). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).

2. Legal Basis for Setting Cookies

Under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive / PECR, we are required to have a valid legal basis before placing cookies on your device (other than those that are strictly necessary):

1. Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest and the performance of our contractual obligations to you. These do not require your consent because they are essential to deliver the service you have requested.
2. All other cookies — including analytics, functionality, and advertising cookies — are placed only on the basis of your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), obtained through our cookie consent mechanism prior to any non-essential cookie being set.

For users in the United States (California), non-essential cookies that involve the sharing of personal information with third parties for analytics or advertising constitute "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA. You may opt out of such sharing at any time — see Section 7 of this Policy.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Consent required: No
These cookies are indispensable for the Platform to operate and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take such as logging in, filling in forms, setting privacy preferences, or using security-critical features. Without these cookies, core services you have requested cannot be provided.

Examples of strictly necessary cookies we set:

• Session authentication tokens: Maintain your logged-in state throughout your session.
• CSRF protection tokens: Protect you against cross-site request forgery attacks.
• Load balancing cookies: Ensure your requests are consistently routed to the correct server.
• Cookie consent preference cookies: Store your cookie consent choices so we do not ask you on every page visit.
• Security cookies: Detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect account access.

3.2 Functionality / Preference Cookies

Consent required: Yes (for EEA, UK users)
These cookies enable the Platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have embedded on our pages.

Examples:

• Language and locale preferences
• Currency display preferences
• Persistent login preferences ("Remember me")
• UI customisation settings (e.g., theme preferences)

3.3 Analytics & Performance Cookies

Consent required: Yes
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Platform. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular, how visitors move through the Platform, and where errors occur. All information these cookies collect is aggregated or pseudonymised.

Analytics providers we use and their cookies:

• Google Analytics — collects pseudonymised usage data to help us understand user behaviour. We have enabled IP anonymisation. Google Analytics data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Microsoft Clarity — records anonymised session replays, heatmaps, and user interaction data for UX analysis. No personally identifiable information is captured. Subject to Microsoft's Privacy Statement.

3.4 Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Consent required: Yes
These cookies are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on our Platform and on other websites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. These cookies are set only with your explicit prior consent.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Eventic does not currently operate a proprietary advertising network; however, third-party advertising or retargeting services may be integrated in the future, and this Policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Cookie Inventory

The following table sets out the principal cookies in use on the Platform. This list is not exhaustive and may be updated as the Platform evolves. The full up-to-date list is always available via the Cookie Settings panel.

5. Cookie Retention Periods

The duration for which a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session or persistent cookie:

1. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.
2. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the duration specified in the cookie or until you manually delete them. The specific retention period for each cookie is listed in the Cookie Inventory in Section 4.

Eventic does not retain cookie-derived personal data beyond the periods set out in our Privacy Policy.

6. Your Consent & Cookie Choices

6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

On your first visit to the Platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that clearly identifies the categories of cookies in use. You may:

1. Accept all cookies — enables all categories including analytics and advertising cookies;
2. Accept necessary only — enables only strictly necessary cookies and disables all non-essential cookies;
3. Customise preferences — toggle each individual category on or off according to your preference.

Your selection is recorded and respected throughout your use of the Platform. Strictly necessary cookies are always active regardless of your selection, as they are essential for the Platform to function.

6.2 Changing Your Cookie Preferences

You may review and update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link located in the footer of the Platform. Any change to your preferences will take effect immediately.

6.3 Browser-Level Controls

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

1. View and delete individual cookies already stored on your device
2. Block all cookies or block cookies from specific websites
3. Set your browser to notify you when a new cookie is being set

Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that restricting cookies may impair the functionality of the Platform, particularly features that rely on session authentication or preference storage.

6.4 Opt-Out of Analytics Tools

In addition to browser controls, you may opt out of specific analytics tools directly:

• Google Analytics: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Microsoft Clarity: Visit Microsoft's Privacy Dashboard to manage your preferences.

7. California Residents — Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information. The placement of certain third-party analytics and advertising cookies may constitute "sharing" of personal information (including online identifiers and browsing behaviour) under the CCPA/CPRA.

To exercise your right to opt out:

1. Click "Cookie Settings" in the Platform footer and disable all non-essential cookie categories; or
2. Submit a written request to privacy@eventic.in with the subject line "CCPA Opt-Out Request".

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights. For a full description of your California rights, please refer to Section 12 of our Privacy Policy.

8. International Data Transfers via Cookies

Some of the third-party services that set cookies via our Platform (such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity) may transfer cookie-derived data to servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom. Such transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable data transfer mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and adequacy decisions, as described in Section 6 of our Privacy Policy.

By accepting analytics or functionality cookies, you acknowledge that data collected through those cookies may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence.

9. Third-Party Cookies

Certain cookies on the Platform are set by third-party service providers. Eventic does not control the third-party cookies and is not responsible for their content or behaviour. Third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party's own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the policies of the following third parties whose cookies may be active on our Platform:

• Google: google.com/policies/privacy
• Microsoft: privacy.microsoft.com

If you have questions about a specific third-party cookie, please contact the relevant third-party directly using the links above.

10. Cookies & Children

The Platform is not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13) in the United States or under the age of sixteen (16) in the EEA and UK. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal data from children under the applicable age threshold. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under the applicable age has provided consent to cookies through our Platform without your authorisation, please contact us at privacy@eventic.in.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or updates to our Platform. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Where required by applicable law, we will re-obtain your consent for any new or materially changed non-essential cookies. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
