Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They let the site recognise your device, remember your choices and run smoothly. We also use similar tools, such as pixels, tags and local storage and this policy treats them the same way as cookies. Cookies on their own do not necessarily reveal your name or contact details, but cookie identifiers may constitute personal data when linked to you or your device.

2. Why We Use Cookies

BRAND 360s ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.brand360s.co (the "Website") to:

• keep the Website secure and working properly;
• remember your cookie choices;
• understand which pages, services and content visitors find useful, so we can improve them; and
• measure advertising and campaign performance where the relevant technologies are enabled and you have provided any required consent.

Please read this policy together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary: required for essential site functions, security and recording your cookie preferences. These cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool.
• Functional: remember optional preferences or features you choose. Where they are not strictly necessary, we request consent before using them.
• Analytics: help us understand website usage and improve performance. Where deployed, these are disabled until you consent.
• Marketing: help measure advertising and, where enabled, support relevant advertising on other platforms. Where deployed, these are disabled until you consent.

Cookies may be session-based or persistent and may be placed by our Website (first party) or by external service providers (third party). Their actual duration depends on the specific technology and configuration.

4. Cookies on Our Website

The following describes the categories of cookies that may be used. A live cookie inventory must be verified against the Website before publication and whenever scripts change; listing a provider here does not mean its tools are currently installed.

• Essential cookies: website security, basic functionality, form operation and storage of cookie preferences. Duration depends on the individual cookie.
• Analytics cookies (only if enabled): for example, Google Analytics, to understand aggregate traffic and engagement. Cookie names and expiry depend on the deployed version and settings.
• Advertising cookies (only if enabled): for example, Google Ads or Meta technologies, to measure campaigns or support advertising. Cookie names and expiry depend on the deployed configuration.
• Functional cookies (only if enabled): optional site preferences or embedded features; their duration varies by feature.

For an accurate list of active cookies, including provider, purpose and expiry, refer to the Cookie Settings panel on the Website where available or contact us at founder@brand360s.co.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Links

Some features may involve third-party providers, such as analytics, advertising, embedded maps, videos or a trademark-search tool. Their use of cookies depends on whether the feature is enabled and how it is configured. Where legally required, we obtain consent before loading non-essential third-party trackers. Links to external websites, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook, are governed by those websites’ own privacy and cookie practices.

6. Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technologies enabled, cookies and similar tools may collect pages visited, time spent, interactions, device and browser details, IP address, approximate location, referring website and online identifiers. We use this information for website operation, security, improvement and, with any required consent, analytics and advertising measurement. We do not sell personal data collected through cookies.

7. Your Cookie Choices

Where non-essential cookies are used, our consent interface should allow you to accept them, reject them or select categories before those technologies are activated. Strictly necessary cookies remain active. You may withdraw or change consent using the Website’s Cookie Settings control, if implemented or by clearing browser cookies and contacting us for assistance.

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and capable of withdrawal. Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to the core Website, although certain optional features may be unavailable. Withdrawing consent does not retroactively invalidate processing carried out before withdrawal.

8. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their privacy or site-data settings. The precise menu names vary by browser version and device. Refer to the current support instructions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Blocking essential cookies may affect forms, saved preferences or other site features.

If Google Analytics is enabled, you may also explore Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, subject to browser compatibility.

9. Transfers Outside India

Some technology providers may process information outside India. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we follow the Indian laws and restrictions applicable at the time of processing, including relevant provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, as and when they commence and applicable government notifications. We also apply appropriate contractual and technical safeguards where relevant.

10. How Long We Keep Cookie Data

Cookies remain on your device until their individual expiry or until you delete them. Separately, analytics or advertising providers may retain event data and reports for periods set in their respective account configurations. We do not represent a universal 14-month analytics retention period or a fixed expiry for every cookie. We review retention settings and retain personal data only as long as needed for the disclosed purposes or as required by applicable law.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our tools, website features or legal obligations change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Where a material change requires renewed consent, we will request it before using the affected non-essential technologies.
