Relationship to other policies: This policy forms part of the InkMee Legal Policy Suite. The Terms incorporate the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Image Upload Policy. If a subject is addressed more specifically here, this policy controls for that subject; mandatory local law always controls over inconsistent language.
InkMee keeps non-essential analytics, personalization, social, and advertising technologies off until a valid choice permits them in regions that require prior consent.
Security, cart, upload continuity, checkout and consent records may require essential storage.
Non-essential analytics, personalization, social and advertising tools stay off until a valid choice permits them.
Legally recognized browser opt-out signals are honored for applicable sale, sharing or targeted-advertising rights.
Uploaded photos, image URLs, prompts and face/body geometry are not sent to advertising technologies.
1. Scope
This Cookie Policy applies to InkMee sites and online Services that link to it. It explains cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, local/session storage, device identifiers, and similar technologies that store or access information on a device or observe interactions. The Privacy Policy explains the resulting personal-data processing.
2. What these technologies are
Cookies. Small data files placed on a browser or device. Session cookies expire when the session/browser ends; persistent cookies remain for a stated period or until deleted.
Pixels and tags. Small code elements that record events such as a page view, email open, referral, conversion, or error.
Local and session storage. Browser storage used for preferences, upload workflow state, security, or performance. Similar legal rules may apply even if the technology is not called a cookie.
SDKs and device identifiers. Software components and identifiers used in mobile or integrated services for functionality, measurement, security, or—only with required permission—advertising.
3. Cookie categories
Category Purpose Consent position Typical duration ceiling Strictly necessary Security, fraud prevention, load balancing, session, cart, checkout, upload continuity, consent record, accessibility, and requested features.
Always active where legally exempt; never repurposed for advertising or unrelated analytics.
Session to 12 months; security/consent records may persist longer as disclosed.
Functional / preference Language, region, display, remembered choices, preview workspace settings, and enhanced support.
Prior consent where required; otherwise available opt-out.
Session to 12 months.
Analytics / performance Measure visits, navigation, errors, load speed, funnel performance, and aggregated service use.
Off before consent in EEA/UK and similar opt-in regions unless a narrow statutory exception applies; opt-out elsewhere.
Normally up to 13 months.
Advertising / social Campaign attribution, frequency control, conversion measurement, social embeds, and targeted advertising.
Off before consent where required; subject to US sale/sharing/targeted-ad optout and GPC. Never receives private Uploaded Content.
Normally up to 13 months; provider limits may vary and are listed in the live register.
4. Live cookie register
InkMee maintains a live register generated from verified scans and does not list guessed cookie names.
For each technology, the register at /cookie-policy#section-4 states:
- name, provider, category, first- or third-party status, purpose, data collected, legal basis/consent status, duration, countries or processing locations where relevant, and a link to the provider’s privacy information;
- whether the technology operates on the main site, upload tool, preview tool, checkout, support center, embedded media, or email;
- the date of the last scan and material changes since the prior version.
5. Consent and preference controls
- Where prior consent is required, the first layer presents equally clear Accept all, Reject nonessential, and Manage choices options. No pre-ticked boxes, consent walls for non-essential tags, misleading colors, repeated nagging, or bundled consent.
- Consent is granular by purpose, specific, informed, affirmative, recorded, and as easy to withdraw as to give. Withdrawing does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
- A persistent Privacy Preferences link appears in the footer. Changing choices updates future tag behavior; previously set cookies may be deleted by the consent manager where technically possible or through browser settings.
- If a user declines, InkMee may still use strictly necessary technologies and may store a minimal preference record to remember the decline.
6. Regional operation
- EEA/UK/Switzerland: InkMee provides clear information and obtains GDPR-standard consent before storing or accessing non-essential technologies, subject to any specific statutory exception.
InkMee uses prior consent for analytics and advertising unless a clearly applicable exception permits otherwise.
- United States: where advertising or analytics constitutes sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, InkMee provides the required opt-out, honors qualifying opt-out preference signals including Global Privacy Control, and does not ask the user to consent again in a manner prohibited by law.
- Canada: InkMee obtains meaningful consent proportionate to sensitivity, makes key consequences visible, allows withdrawal, and avoids behavioral tracking of children.
- Other regions: InkMee applies the prior-consent, notice, opt-out, localization, or transfer controls required by local law. The consent manager may display region-specific options while preserving a high global baseline.
7. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
InkMee will process a legally recognized Global Privacy Control or equivalent opt-out preference signal as a request to opt out of sale/sharing or targeted advertising for the browser/device sending it. InkMee may display “Opt-Out Preference Signal Honored.” Traditional browser Do Not Track signals do not have one uniform legal standard; where they are not legally binding, InkMee applies the choices in the consent manager and any recognized universal opt-out signal.
8. Third-party technologies and embedded content
Third parties may set technologies when their payment widget, video, social post, chat, map, analytics, fraud, or other feature is loaded. InkMee configures those tools so non-essential third-party code does not run before the relevant permission. A third party acting independently may process data under its own policy; InkMee remains responsible for selecting vendors and for its own instructions and disclosures.
InkMee never sends private Uploaded Content, image URLs, facial/body geometry, prompts, or personalized model data to analytics, advertising, or social pixels. InkMee designs event names and page URLs to avoid leaking sensitive project information.
9. Email pixels and similar measurement
Marketing emails may use limited pixels or tagged links to measure delivery and engagement only where permitted. Users can unsubscribe, disable remote images in their email client, or exercise applicable objection or consent rights. Transactional order emails are not marketing, and InkMee minimizes tracking in those messages.
10. Retention and updates
Cookie lifetimes are stated in the live register. Consent records may be kept for up to five years or the applicable limitation period to demonstrate choices. InkMee reviews tags before deployment, at least quarterly, and after any material code, vendor, marketing, checkout, or upload-flow change. This Policy and the live register are updated when purposes or providers materially change; renewed consent is requested where required.
11. Browser and device controls
Browsers allow users to view, block, or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent login, cart, upload, preview, fraud protection, or checkout. Device settings may control advertising identifiers and app permissions. These controls supplement—not replace—the InkMee preference center.
12. Contact
Questions or requests about cookies may be sent to privacy@inkmee.studio. The controller and regional contact information appear in the Privacy Policy.
