Cookie Policy – The Super PLEG Summit 2026 (Website)
Last updated: October 8, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how the Super PLEG Summit 2026 website (“Website”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, why we use them, how you can control them, and where to get more information. This policy is part of – and should be read together with – our Privacy Policy and Terms. The content below is based on the Website content you provided.
1. Quick Summary
We use strictly necessary cookies to run the checkout, ticketing and security features on the site. We also use optional cookies for analytics, performance, personalization and marketing – these require your consent where local law requires it. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the cookie banner/settings and change your choices at any time. For transactional or prize-related KYC and payment processing we may share limited session identifiers with third-party processors (see examples below). For questions or to exercise data rights contact support@SuperPlegSummit2026.com or (+91) 99641 83552.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) by websites you visit. They store small pieces of information that help the site remember you, enable basic functionality, measure performance, and support marketing. Similar technologies include local storage, pixel tags, web beacons, device identifiers, and browser fingerprinting.
3. Why We Use Cookies (Purposes)
We use cookies for the following categories of purposes:
- Essential / Strictly Necessary: enable secure login, shopping-cart and ticketing checkout, anti-fraud checks, and site security. These cookies do not require consent.
- Functional: remember preferences (language, accessibility settings), keep you logged in between pages, and enable basic interactive features.
- Performance and Analytics: measure site traffic, page use, errors and performance (so we can improve the Website and event experience).
- Personalization: remember content or recommendations shown to you (e.g., event suggestions or session schedules).
- Marketing and Advertising: support targeted advertising, ad measurement, retargeting across sites and platforms, and campaign attribution.
- Third-party content: enable embedded players (YouTube/Vimeo), social widgets and maps; these may set cookies controlled by the third party.
Many features of the Summit (ticket purchases, receiving event emails, KYC for prize distribution) rely on cookies to work correctly – particularly for payments and verification flows.

5. Third-party Cookies and Processors
We use third-party providers to deliver analytics, marketing, video/embed, ticketing and payments. Those third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their widgets or when tags fire. Examples of typical providers for an event like ours include Google (Analytics, Tag Manager, Ads), Meta / Facebook (pixel), Stripe / PayPal (payments), YouTube / Vimeo (video embeds), Hotjar/FullStory (session replay), HubSpot / Mailchimp (email marketing), and LinkedIn/Twitter conversion pixels. We do not control those third-party cookies – consult their privacy pages for details. When you submit payment or KYC information, we transmit necessary identifiers to the chosen payment/verification provider for processing as described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Legal Basis for Cookies
- Essential cookies: necessary for performance of the contract (providing access and fulfilling purchases) or our legitimate interest (security and fraud prevention). No opt-in required.
- Non-essential cookies (analytics, personalization, marketing): where applicable (EU/UK and other jurisdictions), we rely on your explicit consent. You can grant or withdraw consent using the cookie banner or cookie settings. For users in jurisdictions without a consent requirement we may rely on legitimate interest for specific analytics uses – we will still offer an opt-out.
7. How We Obtain & Record Consent
When you first visit the Website, we show a cookie banner with options to:
- Accept all cookies.
- Reject non-essential cookies (only essential cookies enabled).
- Customize your preferences (granular control over categories).
Your selection is recorded in a cookie (or equivalent local storage) to remember your choice. If you decline non-essential cookies, we will not load marketing/analytics tags that depend on consent (subject to technical limitations for some third-party embeds). You can change your choices at any time via the cookie settings link in the site footer or by clearing your browser cookies. We will keep a log of consent where required by law.
8. How to Control, Restrict or Delete Cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Use the Site Cookie Settings: open the cookie preferences in the footer or via the cookie banner and change categories.
- Browser Controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). Clearing cookies will log you out and may remove saved preferences.
- Opt-out Browser add-ons: for Google Analytics you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on; other providers may offer similar tools.
- Ad networks opt-outs: use global opt-out tools such as YourOnlineChoices (in Europe) or network specific opt-out settings.
- Device level: remove site data on mobile via app/browser settings.
Be aware that disabling/clearing cookies may break functionalities (ticket purchase, saved preferences, single-sign-on, and KYC flows).
9. Special Cases: Embedded Content, Social Plugins and Maps
Embedded content (YouTube videos, Google Maps) may set cookies from the host domain. If you play an embedded video, the video provider may log the event and set cookies. Social media widgets may set cookies or trigger cross-site tracking (e.g., “like” buttons). We recommend reviewing the privacy settings of each third-party service before using embedded features.
10. Minors and Cookies
We do not target children under 13. If a Minor’s Account or ticket is created, parents/guardians should manage cookie preferences on their device(s). We will not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent.
11. Changes and Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or the services we use. We will post the “Last updated” date at the top. For material changes we will notify registered users by email where appropriate.
