DATA PROTECTION & TRANSPARENCY

Cookie Policy & Consent Framework

SocMgt is committed to transparent data practices. This policy explains what cookies and local storage technologies are, why we use them, and how you have full control over your preferences.

Your Cookie Preferences

You can change or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time using our interactive settings panel.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit our website (https://socmgt.com). Cookies enable websites to remember your actions, maintain authenticated sessions, secure form submissions, and provide anonymized telemetry on how our features are used.

In addition to HTTP cookies, we may utilize related client-side technologies such as localStorage to store preferences (such as your cookie consent decision or calculator state) locally in your browser without transmitting them across network requests.

2. Our Core Principle: Zero Third-Party Advertising Cookies

Unlike many consumer applications, SocMgt does not partner with ad networks, data brokers, or behavioral retargeting services.

✓ We do NOT sell or rent your personal information.
✓ We do NOT allow third-party ad networks (e.g. Meta Pixel, Criteo, Taboola) to track residents across the web.
✓ We do NOT monetize visitor telemetry or gate logs.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify all cookies into the following well-defined categories:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

Required

These cookies and local storage items are technically essential for the website to function securely and reliably. They enable core page navigation, prevent CSRF and spam attacks (anti-bot honeypot verification), and store your cookie preference choice. Without these, basic features cannot operate.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Optional)

Consent Required

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with SocMgt by providing aggregated, anonymized metrics (e.g. pages visited, bounce rates, browser types, and walkthrough conversion funnels). We use Google Analytics 4 (G-X2JFX4XG44) operating in Consent Mode v2. Analytics cookies are disabled by default until you grant explicit consent.

C. Functional & Preference Cookies (Optional)

Consent Required

These cookies remember choices you make while browsing (such as your community unit count on the scale planner or selected scenario tabs) to deliver a personalized experience across sessions.

4. Detailed Cookie Inventory

The following table lists every specific cookie and local storage key utilized on https://socmgt.com:

5. Legal Basis Under DPDP Act 2023 & Global Regulations

Our cookie operations comply with:

  • India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023: Optional telemetry is strictly collected with informed, affirmative consent that can be revoked as easily as it was given.
  • Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices) Rules, 2011: Technical and procedural safeguards protecting all electronic records.
  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) & ePrivacy Directive: For Non-Resident Indian (NRI) property owners and international visitors accessing society records from Europe or the UK, Google Consent Mode v2 ensures no non-essential cookies are deposited prior to consent.
