Cookie Policy

Effective date: 2026-09-11

This Cookie Policy explains how Intrect uses cookies and similar technologies on the ArtifactNet dashboard (app.intrect.io) and demo pages.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time.

2. Cookies We Use

2.3 Analytics

The website, dashboard and demo pages load Google Analytics 4 as a direct tag, which sets Google's analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_<id>) on your device, typically for up to two years. The pages declare consent defaults for it: analytics storage is granted, while advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalisation are denied. Measurement is linked across intrect.io, app.intrect.io, demo.intrect.io and try.intrect.io so one visit is not counted several times.

Intrect also sets intrect_attribution_v1 for up to 90 days. It stores an anonymous attribution identifier, the first and most recent Intrect landing path, referrer hostname, bounded campaign labels and the kind (not the value) of an advertising click identifier. It lets a checkout or successful installer download retain the visit that led to it after you move between Intrect subdomains. The download log receives only the anonymous attribution identifier, not the cookie's campaign fields. It does not store full referrer URLs, email addresses, filenames or payment details.

If you create an account, the bounded acquisition snapshot and the current Google Analytics client/session identifiers are copied to that account record so we can measure signup, first use and purchase as one funnel. The account copy is kept until you delete the account; later visits do not overwrite its original signup attribution.

When an Intrect payment completes (an ArtifactNet plan or top-up, plug-in licence, or Clean Audio top-up), Intrect also sends Google Analytics a server-confirmed purchase measurement and delivery marker, refund measurement and marker for each approved Paddle refund adjustment, and bounded adjustment, transaction and subscription lifecycle markers. These contain the Paddle transaction/event/adjustment identifiers, product category, status, currency, amount, tax and the bounded analytics/attribution identifiers above. They contain no email address, card data or raw Paddle payload. Each retry record is kept for no more than 400 days, whether delivery succeeds or fails.

Cloudflare Web Analytics runs on the same pages. It is cookieless: it measures page views and performance without storing anything on your device and without identifying you across sites.

Aggregate API metrics are collected server-side via Prometheus in addition, and those do not involve client cookies.

2.4 Advertising

We do not serve advertising and do not use advertising cookies.

3. Third-Party Cookies

When you authenticate via Google OAuth, Google may set cookies on accounts.google.com. Google Analytics, loaded as a direct tag from www.googletagmanager.com, set the analytics cookies described in 2.3. These Google services are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in.

5. Changes

If we add new cookies, we will update this Policy and announce changes on the dashboard.
