IntelBee — Cookie Notice / Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 2, 2025
This Cookie Notice explains how IntelBee uses cookies and similar technologies on intelbee.com, our web apps, and browser extensions (the "Services"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Terms used but not defined here have the meanings in the Privacy Policy.
1) What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device that store information. We also use local storage, pixels, tags, and SDKs (collectively, "cookies"). Cookies can be first‑party (set by IntelBee) or third‑party (set by others), and can be session‑based or persistent.
2) How we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- keep you signed in and secure your account;
- remember preferences (e.g., language, cookie choices);
- measure site performance and usage to improve the Services;
- debug, prevent abuse, and enhance security; and
- (where permitted) deliver and measure marketing.
3) Your choices
Consent banner (EEA/UK/CH): We collect consent for non‑essential cookies via our banner. You can change your choices anytime in Cookie Settings.
Global Privacy Control: Where required by law, we treat GPC signals as "do not sell/share" or opt‑out preferences for the relevant browser.
Browser controls: Most browsers let you block/delete cookies. Doing so may affect site functionality.
Do Not Track: Industry standards are inconsistent; we currently respond to GPC rather than DNT.
4) Categories we use
Strictly necessary (cannot be switched off): authentication, security, load balancing, fraud prevention.
Functional/Preferences: remembers settings (e.g., language).
Analytics/Performance: usage statistics, diagnostics.
Advertising/Retargeting (if used): measure and deliver ads. Disabled until consent is given, where required.

We may update this Notice to reflect changes in technology, law, or our use of cookies. Material changes will be highlighted in the banner or on this page. The latest version will always appear at /legal/cookies.
