Cookie Policy
Last Updated & Effective: May 19, 2026
1. Introduction & What Are Cookies
This Cookie Policy provides detailed information on how Cognito Parental Control ("Cognito", "we", "us", or "our") utilizes cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our landing page, interact with our promotional campaigns, or log into your parent monitoring dashboard.
What is a Cookie? A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device, maintain your secure login session, remember your preferences, and provide analytical insights into site performance.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used across our platform into four distinct operational classifications:
1. Strictly Necessary / Essential Session Cookies
These cookies are vital for the core operation of the Cognito platform. They enable secure authentication, maintain your parent dashboard session, and provide Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection. Without these cookies, secure login and dashboard monitoring cannot function. They do not gather information for marketing purposes.
2. Performance & Analytics Cookies
We utilize anonymous analytics trackers (specifically Google Analytics 4) to understand how visitors interact with our website, measure page load speeds, and identify technical bottlenecks. This telemetry helps us continuously optimize the speed, design, and user experience of our landing page.
3. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, timezone, or dark/light theme settings) to provide a customized, seamless experience upon your return.
4. Targeting & Marketing Cookies
To measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and ensure our advertising reaches parents who need our services, we integrate promotional tracking pixels (such as the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API). These tools help us track conversion events (e.g., successful ₹999 license checkouts).
3. Third-Party Tracking & Subprocessors
Some of our performance and targeting cookies are operated by verified third-party subprocessors. Specifically, we utilize:
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4): Operated by Google LLC. Used for aggregated traffic analysis.
- Meta Pixel & CAPI: Operated by Meta Platforms Inc. Used for conversion tracking and ad attribution.
These third parties process data in accordance with their own respective privacy policies. We ensure that all third-party integrations comply strictly with our data minimization principles.
4. User Control & Browser Management
You maintain absolute control over your cookie preferences. Most modern web browsers allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies directly through their settings menus.
Please note that if you choose to disable or block Strictly Necessary Session Cookies, you will be unable to log into your parent dashboard or maintain a secure monitoring connection.
