1. What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit our website (myscoop.in) or creator storefronts. They allow our servers to recognize your device, remember preferences, maintain secure administrator sessions, and ensure fast 1-Click checkout flows.
In addition to HTTP cookies, we may use related browser technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and secure pixel tags.
2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
These cookies are strictly required for the core operation of MyScoop. Without them, authenticated creator portals, fraud prevention gates, and checkout sessions cannot function. They do not require consent under Section 4 of the DPDP Act 2023 as they are strictly necessary for fulfilling user-requested digital services.
These cookies remember your preferences, such as your cookie consent choices or billing frequency toggles (monthly vs. annual billing), ensuring you do not have to reset preferences on every page visit.
We use Meta Pixel (ID: 3563516833817130) to understand how visitors discover our platform and to measure conversion performance from marketing campaigns. All IP addresses are anonymized, and no sensitive personal financial information is ever shared with advertising networks.
