Status: Draft for review — not ready for publication
Effective date: [Insert adoption date]
Editorial note — remove before publication: This draft reflects the confirmed use of website login, Google Analytics, live chat, payment methods, and controls to accept, reject, and change cookie preferences. Actual cookie names, providers other than Google Analytics, purposes, lifetimes, and consent behaviour have not been verified. Complete the inventory and marked notes, check the website's behaviour, and obtain appropriate legal review before publication. A large website's policy cannot safely substitute for the practices of this marketplace.
Tech Mentor Urdu is a multi-vendor marketplace for digital downloadable products operated by Tech Mentor Urdu LTD, a company registered in the United Kingdom.
This Cookies Policy explains cookies and similar technologies, the purposes for which they may be used in connection with the marketplace, and how visitors can manage their preferences.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains the handling of personal information and applicable data protection rights. A cookie may involve personal information even when it does not contain your name.
[Confirm the website domains covered and insert a link to the completed Privacy Policy.]
Cookies are small files that a website can store through your browser on your device. They may help a website recognise a browser, maintain a session, remember a preference, or measure activity.
Cookies do not all serve the same purpose, and not every cookie contains information that directly identifies a person. However, identifiers and related information may still qualify as personal information when they identify or can be linked to an individual.
Similar technologies can include browser local storage, pixels, tags, and other methods of storing or accessing information on a device. Where such technologies are used, applicable rules may apply even if the technology is not technically a cookie.
[Confirm which similar technologies are actually used. Do not present every example above as an installed feature.]
Session cookies generally last for a browser session. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period unless deleted earlier. Browser behaviour, including session restoration, can affect how long some information remains available.
The actual lifetime of each technology used on our website must be identified in the inventory below rather than inferred from its category.
First-party cookies are associated with the website domain being visited. Third-party cookies are associated with a different domain. A third-party service can also cause first-party cookies to be set, so domain classification alone does not establish who receives or controls the information.
The website includes account login, Google Analytics, live chat, and payment methods. The categories below explain how technologies associated with those functions should be assessed. They are not a verified list of every cookie on the website.
Some technologies may be necessary to provide a service specifically requested by a visitor. Depending on the actual implementation, these may support authentication, session continuity, security, or recording cookie choices.
Under applicable UK rules, qualifying strictly necessary technologies generally do not require cookie consent. This does not remove any applicable personal-data obligations.
A technology is not strictly necessary merely because it is useful to the business. Each claimed exemption must be assessed against the actual purpose and legal requirements.
[Identify the actual login, session, security, and consent-preference technologies and confirm which qualify as strictly necessary.]
Some technologies may remember optional preferences or support additional functions. Whether consent is required depends on what the technology does and whether a relevant exemption applies.
[Confirm any language, display, saved preference, or other functional technologies. Remove this category if it does not apply.]
The website uses Google Analytics. This service supports measurement of website activity. The information collected depends on the version, implementation, enabled features, and settings.
The final policy must accurately identify the relevant identifiers, events, device or browser information, and other data processed. It must not describe analytics data as entirely anonymous without verifying that claim.
Google provides information about its practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
[Confirm the Google Analytics version, cookie names and lifetimes, event collection, data retention, Google Signals or advertising settings, consent configuration, and applicable processing arrangements. Do not assume the service's default settings match this website.]
Where analytics storage or access requires consent under applicable law, it must be prevented until the necessary consent is obtained. Any reliance on an exemption requires a separate assessment of its conditions.
The website includes integrated live chat. Its cookie or storage behaviour depends on the service and configuration used.
[Identify the chat provider, cookies or browser storage, purposes, durations, whether the chat loads before user interaction, and any information sent before or after consent.]
Live chat should not automatically be classified as strictly necessary in its entirety. Features needed for a chat explicitly requested by the user must be distinguished from optional tracking or other unrelated purposes.
Chat-message processing, including any AI processing, should also be explained in the Privacy Policy. This Cookies Policy alone does not describe all uses of the messages a customer sends.
The website supports payment methods. Payment services may use technologies for transaction processing, security, or other purposes, depending on the provider and integration.
[Identify the actual payment providers, when their services load, the technologies used, purposes, durations, relevant consent requirements, and links to provider privacy information.]
A payment provider's involvement does not make every technology it uses exempt from consent. Technologies required for a requested transaction should be distinguished from optional analytics, advertising, or unrelated profiling.
Use of advertising cookies, retargeting tools, or a Meta Pixel has not been confirmed. Google Analytics being installed does not by itself establish that these features are enabled.
[Remove this section if advertising technologies are not used. If they are used, identify the providers, purposes, recipients, durations, consent requirements, and applicable choices.]
The following inventory must be completed from an audit of the actual website, including signed-out pages, signed-in pages, live chat, and checkout. Categories are not a substitute for identifying the actual technologies.

[Remove unused rows, add all relevant technologies, and specify whether lifetimes renew when the visitor returns. Keep browser-storage lifetimes separate from provider-side data retention.]
The website provides controls to accept, reject, and change cookie preferences.
Where consent is required, the controls must allow an informed and genuine choice. Rejecting optional technologies must not be treated as agreement to those technologies. Visiting the website or continuing to browse is not a substitute for consent where an affirmative choice is required.
You can change your preferences using [insert the actual control label and location]. Withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it.
Strictly necessary technologies may remain active where a valid exemption applies. Your choices concerning optional categories must be respected. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it was withdrawn.
[Before publication, verify that reject and category choices prevent the relevant technologies from operating, preferences remain effective across pages, and withdrawal stops future consent-dependent activity. Check any provider requests made without cookie storage separately; “no cookies” does not automatically mean “no personal information sent.”]
The presence of a banner alone does not demonstrate that every technology follows the visitor's choice.
Most browsers provide settings to view, block, or delete cookies. The options depend on the browser and device. Consult your browser's official help for instructions.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences and sign you out. Blocking technologies necessary for a requested service may prevent that service from working correctly.
Browser cookie settings may not manage every type of local storage, tracking tag, or provider-side record. Use the website's preference controls as well as any relevant browser or provider controls.
Choices may be specific to the browser or device used. Clearing storage or switching devices may require you to make a new choice, depending on the implementation.
Google Analytics and other confirmed providers may process information in accordance with their roles and applicable agreements. A link to a provider's policy does not remove Tech Mentor Urdu LTD's responsibility for processing it controls.
[Confirm which providers receive information, their roles, processing countries, and applicable international-transfer safeguards. Include the explanation in the Privacy Policy and appropriate provider links here.]
If personal information is processed, an appropriate data-protection lawful basis is required in addition to compliance with any cookie consent rules. A cookie exemption does not itself settle every personal-data requirement.
Data protection rights and complaint options should be described in the completed Privacy Policy. For questions or requests about cookie-related personal information, contact support@techmentorurdu.com.
This policy should be updated when relevant technologies, providers, purposes, or applicable requirements change. The effective date should reflect the adopted version.
Where new purposes or material changes require a new choice, an updated policy alone is not sufficient; any required consent must be obtained before the relevant activity begins.
