Cookie Policy

At White Collar Professional (a unit of TAARAN INDUSTRIES PRIVATE LIMITED), we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any White Collar Professional product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and mobile ad IDs (collectively referred to in this policy as "Cookies") to collect and use data as part of our Services, as defined in our Privacy Policy ("Services") and which includes our sites, communications, mobile applications and off-site services, such as our ad services, plugins, and tags. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use these technologies.

What Technologies Are Used?

A.) Analytics and Research :

Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager) — cookies _ga, _ga_<id>, lasting up to 2 years. Used to measure visits and the actions taken on our site. No advertising or personalisation signals are enabled. You can switch analytics off using "Your analytics choice" below.

B.) Cookies :

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables White Collar Professional features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners, or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-White Collar Professional sites that display ads or that host our plugins or tags. We use two types of cookies: Persistent Cookies (which last beyond the current session to recognize you upon return) and Session Cookies (which last only as long as the browser session). A persistent cookie is used for many purposes, such as recognizing you as an existing user, so it's easier to return to the White Collar Professional platform and interact with our Services without signing in again. Since a persistent cookie stays in your browser, it will be read by White Collar Professional platform when you return to one of our sites or visit a third-party site that uses our Services.

C.) Pixels :

A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. They help us learn about interactions with content. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interact with ads, posts, polls, notifications, or events. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

D.) Local Storage :

Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the White Collar Professional platform experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences, and speeding up site functionality.

E.) Other Similar Technologies :

We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy include pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.
