Cookie Policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how MaquishTech Venture® Pvt Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website https://maquishtechventure.com (the "Site"). Cookies are an important part of how the modern web works, and they allow us to provide you with a smoother, more personalised browsing experience. Non-essential cookies are only set if you allow them. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are opted out until they choose; you can change your choice at any time via Cookie settings. If you do not agree to the use of cookies as described here, you should adjust your browser settings to refuse them or refrain from using our Site. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly. We may update this policy from time to time, and any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date, so we encourage you to review it periodically.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, enabling features like login sessions, analytics, and personalized content. Each cookie contains information such as the name of the cookie, its value, the domain it belongs to, and an expiration date. Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code, nor can they carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simply data strings that your browser stores and sends back to the originating server on subsequent requests. In addition to traditional cookies, this policy also covers similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and fingerprinting techniques that serve comparable purposes. These technologies help us recognise your device across visits and deliver a consistent experience.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies used on our Site into four broad types. Each type serves a distinct purpose and has a different impact on your privacy.

Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function correctly. These enable core functionality such as security, session management, and account login. The website cannot function without these cookies, and they are set automatically as soon as you visit the Site. Essential cookies do not require your prior consent because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you have requested.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use these to improve site performance and user experience. Analytics cookies allow us to see which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, and where they encounter errors, so that we can make informed improvements over time.
Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language, region, or form inputs to provide enhanced and personalized features. These cookies are not essential for the Site to function, but they make your experience more convenient. Functional cookies are only set with your consent.
Marketing Cookies: Used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements and marketing content. These are only set with your consent and allow us and our advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and show you content that is more likely to be of interest to you.

Google Analytics: Sets cookies such as _ga (2 years), _gid (24 hours), and _gat (1 minute). These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use the Site, including the number of visitors, the pages visited, and the geographic region. Google Analytics does not identify individual users. You can review Google's privacy policy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our Site, you will see a cookie consent banner that asks for your permission to set non-essential cookies. You may choose to accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually. Your choice is stored in a cookie called cookie_consent so that we remember your decision on future visits and do not ask you again unnecessarily. Essential cookies are set regardless of your consent choice because they are required for the Site to function. If you wish to change your cookie preferences at any time after your initial choice, you can clear the cookie_consent cookie from your browser settings and refresh the page; the consent banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new selection. You may also withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the relevant cookies through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal, but it will prevent non-essential cookies from being set on subsequent visits.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time: open Cookie settings. To opt out of personalised Google ads everywhere, visit adssettings.google.com; for how Google uses data from sites like ours see business.safety.google/privacy.

9. Cookie Duration

Cookies fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device:

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while you are browsing the Site. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are typically used for things like maintaining your shopping cart or remembering your input as you navigate between pages.
Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies are used for purposes such as remembering your login details, language preferences, and analytics tracking. Analytics cookies typically last up to 2 years, while functional preference cookies may last between 6 and 12 months.

10. Cookie Security

MaquishTech Venture® Pvt Ltd takes the security of cookies and the data they contain seriously. We implement several technical safeguards to protect cookies from unauthorised access or misuse. Our session cookies are configured with the HttpOnly flag, which prevents them from being read by client-side scripts and helps mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. We also set the SameSite attribute to Lax on our session cookies, which restricts them from being sent in cross-site requests and helps protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Where applicable, cookies are also transmitted over secure HTTPS connections to prevent interception. We do not store sensitive personal data such as passwords or financial information directly in cookies. All payment processing is handled by our third-party payment gateway providers, who use their own secure, tokenised systems. We regularly review our cookie configuration as part of our ongoing security practices to ensure it aligns with current best practices and industry standards.

11. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as new cookies are introduced, our services evolve, or applicable regulations change. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. If you have previously given consent for non-essential cookies, your consent will remain valid unless you withdraw it or change your browser settings. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
