Last updated: January 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how showcaseme uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our platform. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
1. What Are Cookies
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'.
2. How We Use 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.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
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.
- Targeting cookies: Record activity to tailor personalized experiences.
4. Cookie Lifespan
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.
5. Third-Party Cookies
We use services like Google Analytics (usage analysis), Stripe (payments), GitHub, and LinkedIn (integrations). These providers may set cookies. Their cookie and privacy policies apply when you interact with these services.
6. Managing Cookies
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.
7. Do Not Track
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.
8. Data Protection and Privacy
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.
9. Social Media Features
Our platform integrates GitHub and LinkedIn buttons. These may collect technical data (like IP address and visited page) to function properly. Your interactions are governed by the third party's privacy policy.
10. Cookie Consent
On your first visit, we display a banner asking for cookie consent. By selecting 'Accept All', you agree to our use of cookies. You can update your preferences anytime via our Cookie Preference Center in the footer.
11. Changes to Cookie Policy
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.
