COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated & Effective Date: June 19, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how OnlineCOSMOS (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by WEBZAK Cyber Technologies, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at onlinecosmos.com.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them under modern global data protection standards, including India’s DPDP Act and the GDPR.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by online service providers to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, WEBZAK Cyber Technologies) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content, affiliate tracking, and analytics).

Why Do We Use Cookies?

At OnlineCOSMOS, our technical team utilizes cookies for several critical reasons:

  • Functionality: To allow our Crowd-Powered Evaluation System™ and member areas to function securely and keep you logged in.

  • Affiliate Tracking: To anonymously track clicks on our software recommendations. This ensures our company is appropriately credited for referrals, which directly funds our in-house tech labs without costing you anything.

  • Performance & Analytics: To help our Data Research team measure site speed, analyze traffic patterns, and understand which AI updates or software reviews are most helpful to our community.

  • UI/UX Improvements: To remember your preferences (like light/dark mode) and optimize the visual interface based on the device you are using.

Types of Cookies We Use

We utilize the following categories of cookies on our site:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our site. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled in our systems.

  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site, such as which pages are visited most often and if visitors get error messages. We use this data strictly to improve how our website works.

  • Functionality Cookies: These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences.

  • Targeting & Affiliate Cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the affiliate links you have followed. We share this anonymous tracking data with our affiliate networks to process commissions.

Third-Party Tracking Technologies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party plug-ins to report usage statistics and integrate software workflows (such as CRM tools and API integrations). These third parties may set their own cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. We do not have control over these third-party cookies.

How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

  • Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit OnlineCOSMOS, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to manage your preferences and opt out of non-essential tracking.

  • Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser; please visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.
