Cookie Policy
The cookies cxoindia.com sets, what each one is for, how long it lasts and whether the site needs it to work.

What cookies are
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Some are needed for the site to work, such as keeping you signed in. Others measure how the site is used.
Cookies the site needs
These are set only when you sign in. Without them you cannot use your account.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lasts | Essential |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| access_token | CXO India | Keeps you signed in. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. | 8 hours | Yes |
| refresh_token | CXO India | Renews your session without asking you to sign in again. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. | 7 days | Yes |
| pk_login | CXO India | Holds the one-time challenge while you sign in with a passkey. Removed when sign-in completes. | 5 minutes | Yes |
Analytics and advertising cookies
These are not needed for the site to work. Our own visitor ID is set on your first page view. The others are set by Google Analytics, Google Ads and LinkedIn, whose scripts are loaded through Google Tag Manager on every page. Their names and lifetimes are set by those companies and can change.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lasts | Essential |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cxo_vid | CXO India | A random visitor ID for our own analytics, so we can see how people move through the site across visits. | 1 year | No |
| _ga, _ga_DQV124GBYH | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors and sessions for website analytics. | Up to 2 years | No |
| _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Google Ads | Links a visit or a sign-up to the Google ad that led to it. | 90 days | No |
| li_fat_id and LinkedIn cookies (such as bcookie, lidc, UserMatchHistory, AnalyticsSyncHistory) | Measures visits and sign-ups that came from LinkedIn advertising. | From 1 day to 1 year | No |
These cookies are currently set when a page loads, without asking you first. There is no on-site setting to turn them off yet. Until there is, you can block or delete them in your browser, as described below.
Other storage in your browser
The site also keeps a few items in your browser's session and local storage. Session storage is cleared when you close the tab: it holds an analytics session ID and how you arrived (the referring page and campaign tags). Local storage keeps your display preference, journeys you have saved and, if you use CXO Intelligence, your conversation history on that device.
How to control cookies
Every browser lets you see, block and delete cookies, for all sites or for cxoindia.com alone, in its privacy or site settings. Blocking the cookies the site needs will sign you out. Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site, and LinkedIn lets members turn off ad measurement in their LinkedIn settings.
