Cookie Policy

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SHOWCASEME TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE LIMITED) are called 'first-party cookies'. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called 'third-party cookies'.

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our platform to operate, and we refer to these as 'essential' or 'strictly necessary' cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our platform.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Strictly necessary for authentication, security, and core platform functionality.
• Performance cookies: Collect usage stats to help us optimize user experience.
• Functionality cookies: Remember preferences like language or theme.
• Analytics cookies: Track engagement to improve our features and UI. Only set if you accept them in our cookie banner.

We do not currently use targeting/advertising cookies.

The length of time a cookie remains depends on whether it is a 'session' or 'persistent' cookie. Session cookies expire once you close your browser, while persistent cookies stay until manually deleted or expired by the server. Lifespans may vary from a single session to up to two years.

We use Google Analytics for usage analysis. It only runs if you accept analytics cookies in our cookie banner. We do not currently set third-party cookies from any other service (payments are processed via Razorpay, which does not set tracking cookies on our site). Google's privacy policy applies when analytics cookies are active.

You have full control over your cookie preferences:

• Adjust browser settings to accept or reject cookies (see your browser's help section).
• Rejecting cookies may limit functionality but won't block access to most content.
• Opt-out of Google Analytics using their official browser add-on.
• Use our in-platform settings to adjust preferences directly anytime.

Some browsers support 'Do Not Track' (DNT) settings. Currently, our platform does not respond to DNT signals, but this may change if an industry-wide standard emerges.

Any personal information collected through cookies is treated under the same safeguards as outlined in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell or misuse cookie-collected data.

Your portfolio may include plain links to your GitHub, LinkedIn, or other social profiles. These are simple links you enter yourself, not embedded third-party widgets, and they do not set cookies on our site.

On your first visit, we show a cookie banner offering Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Manage Preferences (to choose analytics cookies individually). Your choice is stored in your browser and, where you're identifiable, recorded as a consent record on our servers. To change your choice later, clear your browser's site data for showcaseme.in and the banner will appear again.

We may revise this Cookie Policy when needed, such as for new cookies, regulations, or platform updates. Updated versions will be published here with the latest revision date.
