Cookie Policy for the Digi Parking Website

1. Introduction

Beyond Quantum Technologies Private Limited is a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, bearing Corporate Identity Number (CIN) [INSERT CIN], with its registered office at [INSERT REGISTERED OFFICE ADDRESS], India (the “Company,” “Beyond Quantum,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Digi Parking is a project of the Company. It is a technology platform for QR-code-based parking access management. Digi Parking is a brand and product name — it is not a separate legal entity, is not separately incorporated, and cannot sue or be sued in its own name. Every reference to “Digi Parking” in this document means Beyond Quantum Technologies Private Limited, and every right, limitation, exclusion, and indemnity expressed in favour of Digi Parking operates in favour of the Company.

The Company may operate projects, brands, and products in addition to Digi Parking. This document governs only what its scope section says it governs.

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at digiparking.net (the “Website”), what those technologies do, and how you can control them.

It should be read together with our Website Privacy Policy, which explains more fully how we handle personal data, and our Website Terms of Use, which governs your use of the Website. Where a cookie collects personal data, that data is handled in accordance with the Website Privacy Policy.

2. What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your browser or device when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device on a later visit, remember your preferences, and understand how the website is being used.

We also use technologies that perform similar functions, and in this Policy the word “cookies” covers all of them:

• Local storage and session storage: browser mechanisms that store data on your device, similar to cookies but with greater capacity.
• Pixels and web beacons: small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that record whether a page has been viewed or an email opened.
• Software development kits (SDKs): code libraries embedded in applications that perform analytics and attribution functions.
• Device fingerprinting signals: combinations of browser and device characteristics that can identify a device. We use these only for security and fraud prevention, never for advertising.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the Website to function. Without them, services you have asked for cannot be provided. They do not require your consent because the Website cannot operate without them, and they are not used for any analytics or advertising purpose.

3.2 Functional cookies

These allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. They are not essential, and are set only with your consent.

• Language and region preference
• Previously entered form data, to save you re-typing
• Accessibility preferences such as text size or contrast mode
• Whether you have dismissed a notification banner

3.3 Analytics and performance cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or pseudonymously. They are set only with your consent.

• Number of visitors and page views
• Which pages are most and least visited
• How visitors move through the Website
• Page load times and technical errors encountered
• Which external source referred a visitor to the Website

We configure our analytics providers to truncate or anonymise IP addresses where the provider supports that setting, and we do not permit analytics providers to use the data for their own independent purposes.

3.4 Marketing and advertising cookies

These track browsing activity in order to build a profile of interests and show advertisements relevant to those interests, on this Website and on others. They may be set by us or by advertising partners, and are set only with your consent.

• Recording which pages you visited so that relevant advertising can be shown later
• Measuring the effectiveness of an advertising campaign
• Limiting the number of times you see the same advertisement

If you do not consent to marketing cookies, you will still see advertising, but it will not be tailored to your interests.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Website are set by third parties. We do not control those cookies, and we recommend you read the relevant third party’s own cookie and privacy policies. Categories of third party that may set cookies include:

• Web analytics providers
• Advertising networks and demand-side platforms
• Social media platforms, where a social sharing or embedded content feature is present on a page
• Video hosting platforms, where a video is embedded in a page
• Content delivery networks and security providers

5. Consent

Section 6 of the DPDPA requires that consent be free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous, given by a clear affirmative action, and limited to the personal data necessary for the specified purpose. Accordingly:

• On your first visit, a cookie consent banner is displayed before any non-essential cookie is placed on your device.
• Non-essential cookies are not set until you take a clear affirmative action to accept them.
• Rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them — the banner presents “Accept all” and “Reject all” options with equal prominence, in the same size, styling, and position.
• You may accept some categories and reject others through the “Manage preferences” option.
• Continuing to browse, scrolling, or closing the banner is not treated as consent.
• The banner does not use pre-ticked boxes.
• Access to the Website is not conditioned on accepting non-essential cookies.
• Your consent choice is recorded together with the date, time, and the version of the banner shown, so that we can demonstrate the basis on which cookies were set.

6. Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

You may withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time, and withdrawal is as easy as consent was.

• Cookie preference centre: click “Cookie Preferences” in the footer of any page. Your revised choices take effect immediately, and cookies in categories you have deselected are deleted.
• Browser controls: every major browser allows you to view, block, and delete cookies through its settings menu. Blocking all cookies will prevent parts of the Website from functioning.
• Global Privacy Control: where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal and our consent platform surfaces it to us, we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and marketing cookies. Signal support varies between browsers and versions, so we cannot guarantee that every such signal is received.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before it was withdrawn.

7. Cookie Duration

• Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a defined period, or until you delete them. We set a maximum lifetime of 13 months for persistent cookies used for analytics or marketing, after which consent is sought again.

8. Consequences of Rejecting Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be rejected because the Website cannot function without them. If you reject the other categories:

• The Website will continue to work and all content remains accessible.
• Preferences such as language will not be remembered between visits.
• We will have less information about how the Website is used, which limits our ability to improve it.
• Advertising you see elsewhere will not be tailored based on your visit to this Website.

We do not degrade, restrict, or withhold any part of the Website because you have rejected non-essential cookies.

9. Cookies and Security

Certain strictly necessary cookies exist specifically to protect you and the Website — cross-site request forgery tokens, bot mitigation identifiers, and rate limiting counters. Disabling these through browser settings will not improve your privacy and will reduce the security of your session.

If you believe a cookie set by the Website is behaving improperly, or you discover a vulnerability in how our cookies or session handling work, report it to security@digiparking.net rather than disclosing it publicly.

10. Your Rights

Where a cookie collects personal data, you have the rights conferred by Chapter III of the DPDPA in respect of that data — access under Section 11, correction and erasure under Section 12, grievance redressal under Section 13, nomination under Section 14, and withdrawal of consent under Section 6(4). These rights, and how to exercise them, are described in full in our Website Privacy Policy.

11. Grievance Officer

Complaints about our use of cookies may be directed to our Grievance Officer.

In accordance with Rule 3(2)(a) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, the Grievance Officer will acknowledge every complaint within 24 hours of receipt and will dispose of it within 15 days. Complaints concerning your rights as a Data Principal under the DPDPA will be resolved within the period prescribed by the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome, or if we fail to respond within the prescribed period, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India in the manner prescribed under the DPDPA.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as the law develops. The version published on the Website is current and shows the date it was last updated.

Where a change introduces a new category of cookie, or a materially new purpose for an existing category, we will seek fresh consent through the banner before that change takes effect in relation to you.

13. Governing Law

This Cookie Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India. Subject to the dispute resolution provisions of the Website Terms of Use, the courts at [INSERT CITY], India, have exclusive jurisdiction.
