Cookie Policy
1.What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Just Booked Events (“Just Booked”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the Just Booked website and mobile application (the “Platform”). Please read it with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
India has no separate cookie law. Cookies that collect personal data are covered by the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the SPDI Rules now, and by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 from 13 May 2027. We apply their consent principles: we set strictly necessary cookies without asking, and we ask for your consent before we set any others.
2.What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, and persistent cookies stay for a set time. First-party cookies are set by us, and third-party cookies are set by another company whose service we use.
We also use similar technologies, including local storage and IndexedDB (storage inside your browser) and, in our mobile application, software development kits. In this policy, “cookies” includes them unless we say otherwise.
3.The categories we use
| Category | What it is for | Examples of what is stored | Typical life | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep you signed in, protect your account and the Platform, share server load, and remember your cookie choices. | A session identifier; a security token that guards against forged requests; your cookie preferences. | Session to 12 months | No. The Platform cannot work without them. |
| Preferences | Remember choices that make the Platform easier to use. | Your city or location, preferred category, recently viewed Listings, items you have saved. | Up to 12 months | Yes |
| Analytics and performance | Show us how the Platform is used, so that we can fix problems and improve it. We use the results in aggregated form. | Pages viewed, how long you stay, how you arrived, and the device you use. Where Google Analytics is switched on, it sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_ followed by a container ID, which by default last up to 2 years. | Up to 24 months | Yes |
| Advertising and marketing | Not used at present. | Nothing. | Not applicable | We will ask first if this changes. |
Cookie names and lifetimes can change when we update the Platform. We will give you a current list on request.
4.Storage inside your browser
Listing forms. When you fill in a Listing form, we save a draft in your browser’s local storage so that you do not lose your work. The draft stays on your device until you publish it, discard it, or clear your browser data. A draft does not include photographs or uploaded files.
Listing previews. When you preview a Listing, its content and images are held in your browser’s IndexedDB storage so that the preview page can show them. They stay there until they are replaced or you clear your browser data.
This storage is on your own device. You can see and delete it in your browser’s privacy or developer settings.
5.Services from other companies
Some features load or use services from other companies. When your browser contacts them, they receive your IP address and device details, and they may set their own cookies. Their own policies govern what they do.
| Service | What it does | What it may receive |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Delivers the Montserrat font used across the Platform. | Your IP address and browser details when the font loads. |
| Google sign-in | Lets you sign in with your Google account. | Your Google account details, as you allow. |
| Google Analytics | Measures how the Platform is used. Used only where it is switched on and you have agreed. | Usage data and device identifiers. |
| Image hosting, such as Unsplash | Delivers some of the photographs shown on the Platform. | Your IP address and browser details when an image loads. |
| WhatsApp (Meta) | Opens a chat with a Vendor when you choose WhatsApp. | What you send, under WhatsApp’s own terms. |
| Payment partners | Process Vendor Plan payments. | The payment details you enter on their pages. |
| Social media sites | Links to our pages on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X and Pinterest. | Nothing until you click a link. |
6.Your choices
Consent. Where we use non-essential cookies, we ask for your consent before we set them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie settings on the Platform. Withdrawing consent does not affect what we did before.
Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear local storage. You will usually find these controls under Settings, then Privacy or Security. The steps differ by browser and device, so please check your browser’s help pages.
Google Analytics. You can also stop Google Analytics measuring your visits by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
Mobile. On your phone, use your device settings to limit ad tracking and to manage permissions, such as access to your contacts.
7.If you block cookies
If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Platform will not work, such as staying signed in or saving a draft. If you decline other cookies, the Platform still works, but it may be less tailored to you and we will have less information to improve it.
8.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our cookies or the law change. We will update the version number and the “Last updated” date, and tell you about material changes through the Platform before they take effect. If we add a new type of non-essential cookie, we will ask for your consent first.
