CookiePolicy.
This Cookie Policy explains how INSTINKT uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember things like your preferences or consent choices. We also use browser local storage for a similar purpose: to remember your cookie-consent preference so the banner does not appear on every page load.
Some cookies are set by us; others may be set by trusted third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics.
2. Essential cookies and storage
Essential cookies and storage are required for the website and our consent-management functionality to work properly. These are always active and do not require your consent.
They enable things like:
- Remembering your cookie-consent preference
- Keeping the consent banner from reappearing once you have made a choice
- Basic website functionality
3. Analytics cookies and storage
Analytics cookies and storage are optional. They are used only through Google Analytics 4, and only after you explicitly grant Analytics consent.
Analytics helps us understand aggregated website usage and performance — for example, which pages are visited and how visitors interact with the site. This information is used to improve the website experience.
We do not use advertising cookies or advertising features. Advertising-related consent signals remain denied.
4. How consent works
When you first visit the website:
- Analytics is OFF by default.
- Before you make a choice, analytics storage is denied.
- If you choose Reject, analytics storage remains denied.
- If you choose Accept Analytics, analytics consent is granted.
- Your preference is remembered for future visits.
- You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through Cookie Settings in the footer.
5. Google Consent Mode
The website uses Google Consent Mode to communicate your consent choice to Google services. This means Google receives signals about whether analytics storage has been granted or denied. Consent Mode is a technical mechanism; it does not by itself determine the legal basis for processing.
6. Third-party analytics
The only analytics service currently used on this website is Google Analytics 4, provided by Google. When you grant Analytics consent, Google may process technical and usage information as described in our Privacy Policy.
We do not list specific cookie names or expiry periods, because these are determined by Google and may change according to their service configuration.
7. Managing your preferences
You can reopen your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer. From there you can enable or disable Analytics cookies and save your updated choice.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.
8. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The most recent version will be published on this page with the updated date below.
