This Cookie Policy explains how ApnaKey Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies. It also explains the choices you can make about whether we can put some types of cookies on your device when you use our website and our app. This policy is related to our privacy policy, which sets out how and why we collect, store, use, and share personal information, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.

Our website and app include links to other websites operated by others, including providers of events and activities. These may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own separate policies. We do not control those and this policy does not cover those. For information about these third-party operators, please consult their policies.

We have to seek your consent to use certain cookies and you can refuse consent.

Cookies are small files that are sent to your device when you visit a website. They stay on your device, and collect data which is sent back to the website they came from when you visit it again. These are written into mobile apps and web pages that you go to on your device.

We do not use cookies to collect or record personal information on your name, address or other contact details that are connected to your user profile. That information is stored on your user profile so the website or app retrieves this from our servers and stores this when you login to your account.

The data we collect will be stored by ApnaKey Ltd. We do not sell the personal information we have about you to outside organisations.

Cookies are either first- or third-party cookies. First party cookies are set by websites you go to. Third-party cookies are set by outside organisations such as social media, search engines, other advertising networks, and our business partners.

The following explanation sets out all types of cookies. We do not always use all these types. You can find information about the cookies which we currently use in the section on “Our use of cookies”.

Cookies are either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies last for the length of your visit to a website and delete themselves when you close your browser. They can help with security. For instance, they can keep you logged on as you move around a website. Persistent cookies stay on your device when you close your browser. They are used for many jobs. For instance, they can remember your User ID for websites where you log on. They can also store choices ready for when you go back to a website.

Strictly necessary cookies
These are cookies that are required for the operation of a website. They include, for example, cookies that enable users to log into secure areas of a website, use a shopping cart or make use of payment services. They can also help us identify how the site is working and fix any problems. Generally, these are session cookies but not always.

Functional cookies
These are used to recognise users when they return to a website. They enable the personalisation of content, remember things like your username, your region or country, your language and accessibility or other website options. Some may be session cookies and some may be persistent cookies. You cannot switch off these. If you use your browser settings to disable these, the app and website may not work properly, you may not be able to access secure areas to complete transactions or you may need to input information or select preferences repeatedly.

These are used to recognise users when they return to a website. They enable the personalisation of content, remember things like your username, your region or country, your language and accessibility or other website options.

Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies record a user's visit to a website, the individual pages visited and the links followed. They are sometimes called tracking cookies.

If we use these, we use information to help build a profile of our users and send targeted content and material.
