Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Raceups (“Raceups”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you access or use [Website URL], the Raceups Dashboard, and related Raceups services.

Raceups is operated by Raceups — Mayur Gadkari, having its registered/business address at 3rd Floor, Barve Complex, J.M. Road, next to Jangali Maharaj Mandir, Shivaji Nagar, Pune – 411005.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that a website places or stores on your browser or device.

Cookies can help a website:

• keep users logged in;

• maintain secure sessions;

• remember preferences;

• understand how the website is used;

• detect suspicious activity;

• improve performance; and

• provide certain features.

Cookies do not necessarily identify a person by name, but information generated through cookies may sometimes be associated with a user, device, account, browser, or online activity.

2. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional browser cookies, Raceups may use similar technologies including:

• local storage;

• session storage;

• authentication tokens;

• browser identifiers;

• pixels or tags;

• SDKs;

• server-side session identifiers; and

• similar technologies.

For simplicity, this Policy may collectively refer to these technologies as “cookies”.

3. Why Raceups Uses Cookies

Raceups may use cookies for purposes including:

• account authentication;

• maintaining login sessions;

• protecting user accounts;

• preventing fraud and abuse;

• maintaining website functionality;

• remembering user preferences;

• maintaining dashboard sessions;

• supporting payment flows;

• improving website performance;

• identifying technical problems;

• measuring service usage;

• understanding how Raceups features are used; and

• analytics or marketing where implemented and permitted.

4. Categories of Cookies

Raceups may use the following categories of cookies.

A. Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website or dashboard to function correctly.

They may be used for:

• user login;

• authentication;

• session management;

• account security;

• fraud prevention;

• security protections;

• load balancing;

• maintaining user selections;

• payment-session security; and

• other essential platform functions.

Examples may include:

• authentication tokens;

• secure session IDs;

• CSRF/security tokens;

• login-state information; and

• payment-session identifiers.

Disabling these cookies may prevent important Raceups features from working correctly.

Where such technologies are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user, they may operate independently of optional analytics or marketing preferences, subject to applicable law.

B. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help Raceups remember preferences and improve convenience.

They may remember information such as:

• language preference;

• interface preference;

• dashboard settings;

• previously selected options;

• product preferences; and

• accessibility-related settings.

If these cookies are disabled, some personalised functionality may not work as expected.

C. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Raceups may use analytics technologies to understand how users interact with the website and Services.

These technologies may collect information such as:

• pages visited;

• time spent on pages;

• feature usage;

• navigation patterns;

• browser type;

• device type;

• approximate location derived from network information;

• referral source;

• errors or crashes; and

• website performance information.

We may use this information to:

• understand product usage;

• identify technical issues;

• improve user experience;

• measure website performance;

• improve Raceups features; and

• make product decisions.

Analytics Provider(s): [Insert provider(s) if used]

If no analytics provider is used, this section should be updated accordingly before publication.

D. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Raceups may in the future use advertising or marketing technologies for purposes such as:

• measuring advertising campaigns;

• understanding which campaigns lead users to Raceups;

• preventing repeated advertisements;

• measuring conversions; and

• showing relevant advertisements where permitted.

Such technologies may be provided by third-party advertising or social-media platforms.

Marketing/Advertising Provider(s): [Insert provider(s) if used]

Raceups will not state that marketing cookies are in use unless they are actually implemented.

Where consent is required by applicable law, optional marketing or advertising technologies should not be activated before the required user choice has been obtained.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly by Raceups or on behalf of Raceups.

They may be used for:

• login;

• authentication;

• security;

• dashboard functionality;

• user preferences; and

• other Raceups features.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party technologies may be placed or operated by external providers that support Raceups.

These providers may include:

• analytics providers;

• payment providers;

• video or embedded-content providers;

• customer-support tools;

• authentication providers;

• advertising platforms; or

• other technology providers.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements with Raceups.

6. Authentication and Login Technologies

Raceups may use cookies, tokens, or browser storage to authenticate users and maintain secure login sessions.

These technologies may allow Raceups to:

• recognise an authenticated user;

• maintain a login session;

• prevent unauthorised access;

• verify security requests;

• detect suspicious session activity; and

• protect the Raceups Dashboard.

Users should not manually share authentication tokens or session information with other people.

7. Raceups Dashboard

The Raceups Dashboard may use browser technologies to maintain information required for account functionality.

Depending on implementation, this may include information relating to:

• authentication;

• account preferences;

• current session;

• product access;

• usage entitlement;

• application state; and

• security.

Sensitive information such as passwords, private API keys, payment PINs, CVVs, or OTPs should not be intentionally stored through browser cookies for ordinary Raceups operation.

8. Payment-Related Cookies

When you purchase a Raceups product, subscription, plan, credit package, or other paid Service, cookies or similar technologies may be used as part of the payment process.

These technologies may help with:

• maintaining a payment session;

• fraud prevention;

• transaction security;

• payment authentication;

• preventing duplicate transactions; and

• returning the user to Raceups after payment.

Raceups' third-party payment provider may also use its own cookies or technologies in accordance with its privacy and security practices.

Payment Provider: [Insert Final Payment Provider]

Raceups does not use cookies to intentionally store complete card numbers, CVV/CVC values, card PINs, payment OTPs, or banking passwords.

9. AI Services and Cookies

Raceups' AI Communication Coach, AI Voice, AI Human Avatar, Mock Interview, Resume/ATS Review, and related features may use browser technologies to maintain:

• authentication;

• active sessions;

• interface settings;

• temporary feature state;

• service configuration; and

• security controls.

AI conversation content, resume information, voice information, transcripts, or assessment information is governed primarily by the Raceups Privacy Policy, rather than this Cookie Policy.

10. Embedded Third-Party Content

Raceups may include or embed content provided by third parties, such as:

• videos;

• demonstrations;

• social-media content;

• customer-support tools; or

• other interactive services.

An embedded third-party service may place its own cookies or similar technologies when loaded or interacted with.

Where appropriate, Raceups may limit optional third-party content until the necessary user preference or consent has been obtained.

11. Cookie Preferences and Consent

Raceups may provide a cookie banner or Cookie Preferences interface where appropriate.

Users may be given choices such as:

Accept All Accept optional cookies in addition to essential cookies.

Reject Optional Cookies Continue using Raceups with only cookies and technologies necessary for core functionality, subject to applicable technical requirements.

Manage Preferences Select which optional cookie categories may be used.

Where processing of personal data through optional cookies relies on consent, Raceups will seek to obtain consent through an appropriate affirmative choice and provide a reasonably accessible method for changing that choice.

12. Essential Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be required to provide functionality specifically requested by the user.

For example, Raceups may require them to:

• keep a user securely logged in;

• prevent unauthorised requests;

• maintain account security;

• complete a payment session; or

• provide the Raceups Dashboard.

Because disabling such technologies may make the requested Service impossible to provide securely, they may not always be controlled in the same manner as optional analytics or marketing cookies.

13. Changing Your Cookie Preferences

Where Raceups provides a Cookie Preferences mechanism, users may change their optional cookie choices by selecting:

Cookie Preferences

from the website footer or another accessible location.

Changing preferences will apply to future use of optional cookies as technically practicable.

Some cookies already stored on a device may need to be removed through browser settings.

14. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern browsers allow users to:

• view stored cookies;

• delete cookies;

• block cookies;

• block third-party cookies;

• restrict site storage; or

• receive notifications relating to cookies.

The exact controls depend on the browser and device being used.

Blocking all cookies may affect Raceups functionality, including:

• login;

• account sessions;

• dashboard access;

• preferences;

• security; and

• payment functionality.

15. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either:

Session Cookies

These generally remain active only for the duration of a browser session and may be deleted when the browser is closed.

Persistent Cookies

These may remain on the device for a specified period or until deleted.

The duration of a particular cookie depends on:

• its purpose;

• security requirements;

• product functionality;

• provider configuration; and

• applicable retention requirements.

Raceups should not retain cookie-related information longer than reasonably necessary for its stated purpose.

16. Cookie Register

Before this Policy is published on the production Raceups website, Raceups will maintain an accurate inventory of cookies and similar technologies actually used by the platform.

The production cookie register may include:

This table must be updated based on the actual production website, rather than estimated or assumed cookies.

17. Local Storage and Session Storage

Raceups may use browser local storage or session storage for application functionality.

Depending on implementation, it may be used for:

• application state;

• user preferences;

• temporary information;

• authentication-related information; or

• other necessary functionality.

Raceups should minimise sensitive information stored in browser-accessible storage.

Production authentication architecture should be designed to reduce unnecessary exposure of credentials or tokens to malicious browser scripts.

18. Security

Raceups takes reasonable measures designed to protect information associated with cookies and sessions.

Such measures may include:

• secure HTTPS connections;

• Secure cookie attributes where appropriate;

• HttpOnly cookies where appropriate;

• SameSite protections;

• session expiration;

• server-side validation;

• CSRF protection;

• authentication controls; and

• monitoring for suspicious activity.

No browser-based technology can provide an absolute guarantee of security.

19. Personal Data Collected Through Cookies

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal data where it relates to an identifiable individual.

Where applicable, such information will be processed in accordance with the Raceups Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

The Privacy Policy provides additional information regarding:

• purposes of processing;

• service providers;

• data retention;

• security;

• privacy rights;

• account deletion; and

• grievance redressal.

20. Children

Raceups will apply appropriate protections where cookie-related processing involves personal data of children and applicable law imposes additional requirements.

Raceups will not intentionally use behavioural advertising or similar tracking involving children in violation of applicable law.

21. Do Not Track and Similar Browser Signals

Some browsers or devices may transmit privacy preference signals.

Raceups may evaluate and support recognised browser-based privacy controls where required by applicable law or where technically supported.

Because standards and legal requirements relating to such signals may evolve, Raceups may update its implementation over time.

22. Third-Party Provider Changes

Raceups may change its:

• analytics provider;

• payment provider;

• hosting infrastructure;

• embedded-content provider;

• support tools;

• advertising provider; or

• other technology providers.

Where such changes materially affect cookie or tracking practices, this Policy and the relevant cookie-preference controls will be updated accordingly.

23. No Unnecessary Tracking

Raceups aims to limit tracking technologies to those reasonably appropriate for:

• delivering the Service;

• maintaining security;

• improving the product;

• understanding legitimate usage; or

• conducting permitted marketing activities.

Raceups should avoid deploying unnecessary third-party trackers merely because they are technically available.

24. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Raceups may update this Cookie Policy when:

• new cookies are introduced;

• technologies change;

• analytics tools change;

• advertising tools are introduced or removed;

• payment providers change;

• legal requirements change; or

• Raceups changes how its Services operate.

The updated Policy will display a revised Last Updated date.

Where required, Raceups may seek updated consent for material changes involving optional technologies.
