Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 21, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Xzect Labs Private Limited ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies on newsstudio.io and the News Studio application (collectively, the "Sites"). It should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
3. Analytics & Tracking
We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies together with server-side logging to support analytics, performance monitoring, and security. Purposes include:
- Platform improvement: understanding feature usage, navigation paths, and product performance;
- Security & fraud: detecting suspicious logins, payment abuse, credential stuffing, and policy violations;
- Debugging: diagnosing errors, latency, and availability issues;
- User experience: remembering preferences and reducing friction;
- Marketing measurement: where permitted, assessing campaign effectiveness.
Analytics may collect device type, browser, operating system, IP address, referring URL, session identifiers, and event timestamps. This data may be combined with account information when you are logged in. See our Privacy Policy Section 4 for details.
4. How We Use Cookies
- Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions;
- Remember preferences (language, currency, UI settings);
- Measure traffic, feature usage, conversion funnels, and uptime;
- Detect fraud, abuse, suspicious activity, and security incidents;
- Deliver and measure marketing where permitted;
- Improve performance, reliability, and product experience.
5. Types of Cookies
Strictly necessary
Required for core functionality (login, security, load balancing). These cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.
Functional
Enhance experience (preferences, chat widgets). Optional in some regions.
Analytics
Help us understand how visitors use the Sites (e.g., page views, events, referrers). We may use providers such as Google Analytics or similar tools with IP masking where configured.
Marketing
Used to measure campaigns and, where permitted, deliver relevant ads on our Sites or partner networks. Requires consent where mandated by law (e.g., EU/UK).
6. Third-Party Providers
Third parties may set Cookies or process similar data when you use embedded content, payments, social login, analytics, error monitoring, CDN, or support tools. Examples may include:
- Payment processors (e.g., Razorpay);
- Web analytics (e.g., Google Analytics or equivalents);
- Authentication and OAuth providers;
- Cloud hosting, CDN, and security vendors;
- Customer support and communications tools.
Each provider's use of data is governed by its own privacy policy and terms. We contractually require processors to protect data where applicable. We do not control third-party practices and are not responsible for their independent processing.
7. Managing Cookies
On first visit (where required), you may see a consent banner to accept or reject non-essential Cookies. You can change preferences via the banner or account settings where available.
Browser controls allow blocking or deleting Cookies. Blocking necessary Cookies may prevent login or billing. See your browser help for instructions (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
To opt out of certain analytics, use provider opt-out tools (e.g., Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on) where offered.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. There is no uniform standard for responding; we currently do not alter processing solely based on DNT signals, but honor applicable consent requirements.
9. Compliance
Our cookie and tracking practices support GDPR-style consent requirements, payment gateway fraud-monitoring expectations, and platform partner policies. We review cookie inventories periodically and update disclosures when vendors or purposes change materially.
10. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy. Check the "Last updated" date. Material changes may be notified via the Sites or consent UI.
