Cookie Policy
Ecodetect Ltd ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates inecodetect.com. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on this site. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
Because inecodetect.com is operated from the United Kingdom, our approach to cookies follows the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR. We apply a prior-consent model: non-essential cookies are not set until you actively choose to accept them through our banner. Strictly necessary cookies, which are required to keep the site functioning, do not require consent.
1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the Company uses cookies and similar technologies on inecodetect.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device across a session or between visits, store preferences, and measure how the site is used. We also use related technologies such as local storage entries (used for storing your cookie consent choice).
3. Your Consent
We do not set non-essential cookies -- including analytics and preference cookies -- until you give your prior consent through the cookie banner that appears on your first visit to inecodetect.com. This is the default-deny approach required under PECR for UK-based sites.
You can change your choice at any time by clicking "Cookie preferences" in the footer of any page. Doing so clears your stored choice and re-presents the banner. You may also clear cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. They are the minimum required for the Service to function and cannot be switched off.
4. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Examples | Lifetime | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session token, CSRF token, cookie-consent record (localStorage) | Session to 12 months | Legitimate interest / contract performance |
| Preferences | Language setting, interface display preferences | Up to 12 months | Consent |
| Analytics | Self-hosted or privacy-preserving analytics (anonymised usage data) | Up to 13 months | Consent |
| Marketing | Not currently used | -- | Consent |
inecodetect.com is a B2B platform for offshore inspection professionals. We do not run advertising networks or third-party marketing cookies. The analytics cookies we use, when consented, are configured to anonymise IP addresses and do not track individuals across other sites.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers acting as our data processors -- for example, an analytics tool. We hold data-processing agreements with any such providers under Article 28 UK GDPR. We only enable third-party non-essential cookies after you consent through the banner. We do not enable third-party marketing or advertising cookies.
6. Managing Cookies
- Use our cookie banner to accept all cookies or restrict to essential only. You can reopen the banner at any time via "Cookie preferences" in the page footer.
- Your browser allows you to view, block, or delete cookies. Instructions for major browsers are available at aboutcookies.org. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly.
- Browser-transmitted opt-out signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), are honoured for analytics and marketing cookie categories. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a rejection of non-essential cookies for your session.
7. Changes
If we change the cookies we use -- for example, by adding a new analytics tool -- we will update this policy and the "Last updated" date. Where changes require fresh consent under PECR, we will re-present the consent banner to existing users.
