This Cookie Policy explains how INCI API ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at inciapi.com or use our Service. This Cookie Policy is governed by Spanish law. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide analytics information, and improve your browsing experience.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded in the page ("third-party cookies").
2. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our Service. They enable core functionality such as authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function properly.
Essential cookies do not require your consent under GDPR, as they are necessary to provide the Service you have requested. These include:
- Session cookies: Maintain your logged-in state as you navigate between pages.
- CSRF tokens: Protect your account from cross-site request forgery attacks.
- Authentication tokens: Securely identify you across requests without requiring repeated login.
- Cookie consent: Remember your cookie preferences so we don't ask you repeatedly.
3. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the user experience and optimize our Service.
3.1 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how you use our website, including pages viewed, time spent, and referral sources. This data is transmitted to and stored by Google. We have enabled IP anonymization so your full IP address is never stored. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3.2 Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. We use this information to improve our website and services. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
