Cookie Policy

Consent

Cookies generally need consent, except necessary cookies. If you accept the cookies on our Website, you consent to our use of cookies as described under "What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?" below. You can always change or withdraw your consent; see "How to manage your cookie settings" below.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device as you browse. They are processed and stored by your web browser. Cookies often serve critical functions for websites and give insight into users' online activity. They can keep track of your behaviour on a website, recognise your computer or device, and allow a website to remember your settings and preferences. A cookie only contains text; it is not a program and cannot contain viruses.

What are first and third party cookies?

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first party cookies"; only that party can read them. Cookies set by someone other than the owner of the website are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics) on or through the website you are visiting.

What are session cookies and persistent cookies?

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or device after you close your browser and expire according to the time specified in the cookie, or until you erase them.

What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons: necessary cookies, analytical cookies, functional cookies and marketing cookies.

Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies are sometimes called "strictly necessary" because we cannot provide the basic functionalities of our Website without them. We require them for technical reasons so that our Website can operate; you do not have to accept them and you cannot reject them. They are used, for example, to verify you are a real user, to remember which cookies you have accepted for GDPR compliance, or to ensure core features work. Put simply, they ensure you can browse and use our Website.

Examples: Session cookies, authentication tokens, security cookies. Lifetime: Session cookies (deleted when browser closes) or up to 1 year for persistent authentication.

Statistic cookies

Statistic cookies (sometimes called "performance cookies") collect information about how you use the Website so we can understand usage, make improvements and report performance. They may analyse user behaviour, track which pages you visit, where you came from, how often you visit and how long you stay. We only use analytical cookies on your device if you give us your consent.

Examples: Page views, feature usage, time on site. Lifetime: Up to 2 years. Note: All analytics data is anonymized and aggregated.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies (sometimes called "functionality cookies") enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are not strictly necessary. Without them, certain functionality may be unavailable (for example, remembering your language preference). We only use preference cookies if you give us your consent.

Examples: Language settings, theme preferences, font size. Lifetime: Up to 1 year or until you change your preferences.

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to determine what promotional content is more relevant to you and your interests. For example, they may allow social media channels to know that you visited Inlay, so you might see ads from us there. We only use marketing cookies if you give us your consent.

Examples: Social media pixels, ad campaign tracking. Lifetime: Up to 1 year. Note: You can withdraw consent at any time.

Overview of the cookies used on the Website

You can find a complete list of the cookies we use in the cookie banner ("Cookie Declaration"). There you can see what third parties we use, what they do with the information, the cookie type (first/third party) and the lifetime of the cookie.

We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:

• PostHog – used for analysing usage of our Website and collects anonymised usage data via cookies if you give consent. See PostHog's Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare – used for bot management, security and content delivery. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Vercel – used for hosting, performance metrics, and Vercel Analytics (page views and clicks for product improvement only; not used for advertising). See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

If you have accepted cookies, you can always opt out via "How to manage your cookie settings" below.

Similar technology to recognise and track visitors

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs" – small graphics files with a unique identifier that allow us to recognise when you visit our Website and track behaviour for analytics purposes.

How to manage your cookie settings

You can always change your mind and decline cookies that are not strictly necessary. You can set your preferences in the cookie banner and choose which categories of cookies you accept or reject. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but some functionality may be restricted and the site may not work at its best.

You can also set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a website tries to set or update a cookie. If your browser rejects cookies, many features may become unavailable. You must change the settings on each browser and each device you use. You can also delete cookies you have previously accepted; if you use more than one browser, you need to delete cookies in all of them.

Changes to our Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other legal or regulatory reasons. It is important that you revisit this Cookie Policy to stay up to date. We always include the "last updated" date at the top of the policy.
