Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 1, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you use it, and improve your experience over time. Some cookies are set directly by us; others are set by third-party services we use to operate our platforms.
This policy applies to all GOSHCo platforms — including goshco.in and sub-brand domains such as share.goshco.in — and is aligned with India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our platforms to function. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, services like logging in or accessing your event gallery would not work. These cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| _session | Maintains your login session | Session |
2.2 Analytics Cookies — Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our platforms — such as which pages are visited most, how long users stay, and how they navigate between sections. This helps us improve our services. GA4 sets cookies on your browser to collect this data in an aggregated, anonymised form.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users for traffic analysis | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXXX | Maintains session state for GA4 measurement | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. We have configured GA4 with IP anonymisation enabled and do not share personally identifiable information with Google through this integration.
2.3 Vercel Analytics
We also use Vercel Analytics to monitor platform performance and page-level traffic. Unlike traditional analytics tools, Vercel Analytics operates without setting any cookies on your device. It uses privacy-preserving techniques to collect aggregated, non-identifiable usage data. No personal data is stored or shared through this tool.
✓ Vercel Analytics is cookieless — no cookies are set by this service.
3. How to Manage Cookies
By using our platforms, you acknowledge the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our service from functioning correctly.
Opt Out of Google Analytics
You can prevent GA4 from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available for all major browsers.
4. Third-Party Links
Our platforms may contain links to external websites. This Cookie Policy applies only to GOSHCo domains. We are not responsible for the cookie practices of third-party websites and encourage you to review their respective policies.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology or legal obligations. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of our platforms after any changes constitutes acknowledgement of the updated policy.
