Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 19, 2026

1. Introduction & Corporate Structure

Elite Brainz Magazine (https://elitebrainz.com) is a global digital media platform owned and operated by Elite Unison Private Limited, an enterprise incorporated under the laws of India.

To deliver dynamic content, handle monetization, secure our network, and coordinate global indexing, our platform deploys first-party cookies, third-party cookies, server-side data scripts, and tracking pixels.

This Cookie Policy operates in tandem with our primary data protection framework. To understand how we collect, store, and legally protect your personal and professional profile data, please read our full Privacy Policy.

2. Global Compliance Framework & Acknowledgment

By clicking “Accept” on our tracking banner or continuing to interact with our platform, you explicitly acknowledge and grant your consent for data processing across international data boundaries. This policy fulfills our transparency requirements under:

  • North America: US State Privacy Laws (including California CCPA/CPRA, Virginia VCDPA, Texas TDPSA).
  • Europe: EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).
  • Asia-Pacific: India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, Australia’s Privacy Act 1988, and Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI).
  • Eurasia: Russian Federal Law on Personal Data (No. 152-FZ).

3. Server-Side Tracking: Meta Pixel & Conversions API (CAPI)

Our platform utilizes a hybrid browser-and-server data pipeline via the PixelYourSite architecture.

  • Meta Pixel (Browser-Side): Places client-side cookies (_fbp, _fbc, fr) on your device to trace interaction paths and match user demographic metrics.
  • Meta Conversions API (Server-Side / CAPI): To bypass localized ad-blockers and browser limitations, data events (such as viewing a “Get Featured” page or completing a commercial transaction) are mirrored and processed directly from our secure hosting servers to Meta’s enterprise endpoints.
  • Data Matching: This system processes hashed identifiers (such as IP addresses, user-agent data, and click IDs) to accurately assign conversion performance without relying exclusively on browser-based cookies.

4. Search Engine Indexing, AI Crawlers, and AI SEO Architecture

To optimize our visibility across global architectures and facilitate “SEO for AI,” Elite Brainz Magazine allows automated indexing, crawling, and parsing algorithms from global search networks and Large Language Model (LLM) training nodes.

  • Traditional Engines: Systems operated by Google (Googlebot), Microsoft Bing (Bingbot), Yandex (YandexBot), Baidu, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo track click logs, site navigation properties, and page loads to generate standard indexing metrics.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) Crawlers: Our platform explicitly interfaces with AI scraping agents, including but not limited to OpenAI (GPTBot), Anthropic (ClaudeBot), Perplexity AI, and Common Crawl. These entities read site architecture, textual assets, and semantic frameworks to index our feature stories within generative AI search engines.
  • Note: Although these bots mainly analyze raw public server data instead of individual user browser cookies, interaction queries within our site’s integrated WordPress 7.0.2 or later, AI Provider for OpenAI framework may record internal token events to handle structural content delivery.

5. Detailed Cookie Inventory

The specific technical cookies running on our platform include:

A. Essential, Functional & Security Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These are mandatory for basic site features, security authentication, and infrastructure routing. They cannot be turned off.

  • WordPress Core (wp-settings-*, wordpress_logged_in_*, wpEmojiSettingsSupports): Manages user session persistence, administrative states, and interface preferences.
  • Security Frameworks (Defender, WPS Hide Login): Deploys defense tracking layers to deter brute-force entry attempts and protect form nodes.
  • LiteSpeed Cache (_lscache_vary): An essential framework element used to detect viewport profiles (mobile vs. desktop) and serve rapid server-side cached assets.

B. Analytics & Performance Tracking (PixelYourSite & Google Engines)

These track anonymous navigation behavior to evaluate site utility and performance.

  • pys_first_visit & pys_landing_page: Generated by PixelYourSite to track your initial entry page and point of origin. This data feeds directly into our optimization and Meta CAPI pipelines.
  • pysTrafficSource & pys_session_limit: Tracks external referral parameters (e.g., whether you arrived via Bing, Yandex, or a direct link).
  • Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_* via Google Site Kit): Manages long-term anonymous unique identifiers to calculate dwell times and bounce rates.

C. Third-Party Embedded Elements

  • Video Delivery: YouTube and Wistia scripts utilize localized cache registers (YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE) to stream embedded content.
  • Anti-Spam Optimization: Google reCAPTCHA scripts (rc::a, rc::b, rc::c) run background session logs inside nomination forms to intercept malicious automated operations.

6. Regional Rights & Global Data Transfers

Because our server infrastructures interact with international clouds (including providers in the US, Europe, and India), your data metrics may cross geopolitical borders.

  • EU/UK/Swiss Residents: Your data is managed under Cross-Border Transfer safeguarding protocols. You retain the absolute right to object to tracking and demand full data porting.
  • US/California Residents: In accordance with the CCPA/CPRA, our deployment of Meta Pixel and CAPI constitutes a “Share” or “Sale” of data for cross-context behavioral advertising. You hold the right to opt-out via your browser’s Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.
  • Russian Residents: By interacting with our interface, you provide explicit consent to the international transfer and automated processing of anonymous clickstream data under Law 152-FZ.
  • Indian Residents: Under the DPDP Act, you act as the Data Principal and hold an absolute right to withdraw consent or request complete erasure of any transaction history or profile logs associated with your identity.

7. Explicit Browser Overrides (How to Control Data)

Since our current optimization banner utilizes a unified confirmation architecture (“Accept”), users who prefer to block tracking markers must deploy client-side management:

  1. Browser Toolsets: Modify your privacy parameters inside your browser layout (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) to completely reject third-party cookies or run automated session deletion.
  2. Universal Opt-Out Add-ons: Install specialized opt-out utilities, such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or adjust settings inside your personal Meta Ad Preferences dashboard.
