Cookie Policy

 

Effective Date: July 22, 2026
Last Updated: July 22, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how InHive Systems, Inc. (“InHive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with:

  • https://goinhive.com; 
  • other websites operated by InHive that link to this Cookie Policy; 
  • customer portals; 
  • account-access pages; 
  • online forms; 
  • product demonstrations; 
  • web-based versions of the InHive platform; and 
  • related online services. 

Collectively, these are referred to as the “Services.”

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar data files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website.

Cookies may allow a website or service provider to:

  • recognize your browser or device; 
  • remember your preferences; 
  • maintain a user session; 
  • keep you signed in; 
  • support website security; 
  • understand how visitors use a website; 
  • measure website performance; 
  • identify technical problems; 
  • personalize content; or 
  • support advertising and analytics. 

Cookies can contain identifiers that allow a website or service provider to recognize a browser over time. The FTC describes cookies as information saved by a browser that can help a website remember a visitor and recognize the device during later visits. 

3. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, the Services may use similar technologies, including:

  • pixels; 
  • web beacons; 
  • tracking tags; 
  • scripts; 
  • software development kits; 
  • local storage; 
  • session storage; 
  • browser identifiers; 
  • device identifiers; 
  • log files; 
  • embedded content; 
  • link-tracking technologies; and 
  • server-side analytics. 

For purposes of this Cookie Policy, references to “cookies” generally include these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

Tracking pixels and embedded scripts may collect information about page views, clicks, form interactions, and other activity. The FTC has cautioned that pixels can transmit detailed information about how users interact with a webpage. 

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

4.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly by InHive or by the website domain you are visiting.

They may be used to:

  • maintain account sessions; 
  • remember language or display preferences; 
  • support website navigation; 
  • maintain security; 
  • remember cookie choices; and 
  • operate essential platform features. 

4.2 Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are placed by service providers whose technologies appear on or support the Services.

These providers may include services relating to:

  • website hosting; 
  • analytics; 
  • video hosting; 
  • mapping; 
  • security; 
  • authentication; 
  • customer support; 
  • email marketing; 
  • embedded content; 
  • fraud prevention; 
  • social media; or 
  • advertising. 

Third-party cookies are governed by the applicable provider’s privacy and cookie practices.

5. Session and Persistent Cookies

5.1 Session Cookies

Session cookies generally remain active only while your browser is open.

They may be used to:

  • maintain navigation; 
  • support forms; 
  • authenticate a session; 
  • prevent security attacks; and 
  • preserve temporary selections. 

Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser.

5.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until deleted.

They may be used to:

  • remember preferences; 
  • recognize returning users; 
  • maintain certain login settings; 
  • record cookie choices; 
  • measure website activity over time; and 
  • support analytics. 

The duration of each persistent cookie depends on its purpose and the settings of the provider that places it.

6. Categories of Cookies We May Use

6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Services to operate properly.

They may support:

  • website security; 
  • network management; 
  • account authentication; 
  • fraud prevention; 
  • session management; 
  • cookie-consent preferences; 
  • form submission; 
  • load balancing; 
  • access controls; and 
  • essential technical functions. 

Because these cookies are necessary to provide a service requested by the user or to maintain essential security and functionality, they may not always require consent under applicable law.

Blocking these cookies may cause parts of the Services to stop functioning.

Examples may include cookies used for:

  • login sessions; 
  • account authentication; 
  • CSRF protection; 
  • security tokens; 
  • consent records; 
  • website infrastructure; and 
  • platform availability. 

6.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Services to remember choices and provide enhanced functionality.

They may remember:

  • language; 
  • region; 
  • display settings; 
  • user-interface preferences; 
  • accessibility selections; 
  • prior form entries; 
  • account preferences; or 
  • other optional settings. 

If these cookies are disabled, some personalized features may not operate as intended.

6.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Services.

They may collect information such as:

  • pages viewed; 
  • time spent on pages; 
  • navigation paths; 
  • referring websites; 
  • device type; 
  • browser type; 
  • approximate location; 
  • technical errors; 
  • page-load performance; 
  • clicked links; 
  • form interactions; and 
  • general usage patterns. 

We may use this information to:

  • measure traffic; 
  • evaluate content; 
  • improve navigation; 
  • diagnose technical problems; 
  • understand product usage; 
  • develop new features; and 
  • improve the Services. 

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies will be activated only after consent.

6.4 Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies

Security cookies may help us:

  • detect suspicious activity; 
  • prevent automated abuse; 
  • protect forms; 
  • prevent unauthorized login attempts; 
  • recognize unusual account behavior; 
  • enforce access controls; and 
  • protect users and infrastructure. 

These may include technologies provided by fraud-prevention, authentication, hosting, or CAPTCHA providers.

6.5 Embedded Content Cookies

The Services may include content embedded from third-party providers, such as:

  • videos; 
  • maps; 
  • scheduling tools; 
  • social-media content; 
  • support widgets; 
  • forms; or 
  • document viewers. 

When you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may place cookies or collect information about your interaction.

For example, an embedded video provider may collect information when a video loads or is played, depending on its settings.

6.6 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

InHive does not currently intend to use cookies for:

  • cross-site behavioral advertising; 
  • targeted advertising based on activity across unrelated websites; 
  • sale of browsing profiles; 
  • retargeting campaigns; or 
  • building advertising audiences. 

If InHive later activates tools such as advertising pixels, remarketing tags, or cross-site behavioral advertising technologies, we will:

  • update this Cookie Policy; 
  • disclose the relevant providers; 
  • update our Privacy Policy where necessary; 
  • obtain consent where required; 
  • provide legally required opt-out rights; and 
  • configure the cookie banner accordingly. 

This section must be revised before Meta Pixel, Google Ads remarketing, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar technologies are activated.

7. Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technology used, cookies may collect or generate:

  • IP address; 
  • cookie identifier; 
  • browser identifier; 
  • device identifier; 
  • device type; 
  • operating system; 
  • browser type and version; 
  • preferred language; 
  • approximate geographic location; 
  • date and time of access; 
  • referring URL; 
  • pages visited; 
  • links clicked; 
  • session duration; 
  • login activity; 
  • account status; 
  • form interaction; 
  • error information; 
  • website-performance data; 
  • consent choices; and 
  • other technical or usage information. 

Cookies generally do not directly reveal your name unless the collected identifier is linked to account, form, or other identifying information.

8. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • operate the Services; 
  • maintain secure sessions; 
  • remember your choices; 
  • authenticate users; 
  • process forms; 
  • protect against fraud; 
  • prevent misuse; 
  • understand website traffic; 
  • analyze performance; 
  • improve content; 
  • identify errors; 
  • support integrations; 
  • remember cookie preferences; 
  • provide customer support; 
  • comply with legal obligations; and 
  • maintain records of consent. 

9. Legal Bases for Using Cookies

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, our use of cookies may rely on:

9.1 Necessary Use

Some cookies are required to provide a service requested by you, maintain security, authenticate a user, or operate essential website functions.

9.2 Consent

We may request consent before using nonessential cookies, including certain:

  • analytics cookies; 
  • functional cookies; 
  • embedded-content cookies; 
  • advertising cookies; or 
  • similar tracking technologies. 

Valid consent should be freely given, specific, informed, and expressed through an affirmative action. Merely continuing to browse may not constitute valid consent in jurisdictions that require affirmative consent. 

9.3 Legitimate Interests

Where permitted by law, limited analytics or security-related processing may rely on our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services.

Where consent is legally required, legitimate interests will not replace that consent.

10. Your Cookie Choices

Depending on your location and the configuration of the Services, you may be able to:

  • accept all cookies; 
  • reject nonessential cookies; 
  • select categories of cookies; 
  • withdraw consent; 
  • change preferences; 
  • delete existing cookies; 
  • block cookies through browser settings; or 
  • use applicable browser-based privacy signals. 

A consent mechanism should provide a real choice and should not activate cookies requiring consent before the user has made that choice. European regulators have stated that cookies requiring consent should not be placed by default before consent is obtained. 

11. Cookie Banner

Where required, the Services may display a cookie banner or preference center.

The banner should provide clearly visible options such as:

  • Accept All 
  • Reject Non-Essential 
  • Manage Preferences 

The Reject Non-Essential option should be reasonably accessible and should not be materially less prominent or harder to use than the option to accept nonessential cookies.

The banner should not represent that cookies are disabled unless the underlying technical controls actually prevent them from being set.

New York’s Attorney General has identified common risks involving privacy controls that do not work as described and recommends testing websites to confirm that user choices are honored. 

12. Withdrawing or Changing Consent

You may change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time by using the Cookie Settings or Manage Cookies link provided on the website.

Withdrawing consent will not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

After you withdraw consent:

  • applicable nonessential cookies should no longer be placed; 
  • existing cookies may need to be deleted through your browser; 
  • some providers may require a new page load before the change takes effect; and 
  • certain optional features may no longer function. 

13. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to:

  • view stored cookies; 
  • delete cookies; 
  • block all cookies; 
  • block third-party cookies; 
  • allow cookies only for certain websites; 
  • receive alerts before cookies are placed; or 
  • browse in a private or incognito mode. 

The exact controls depend on your browser and device.

If you block all cookies, essential features such as account login, form submission, security controls, or saved preferences may not work correctly.

14. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Some browsers and extensions support privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a valid opt-out preference signal, we will take reasonable steps to process that signal as required.

A browser-based signal may apply only to the browser or device from which it is sent.

Because InHive does not currently intend to sell personal information or use cross-context behavioral advertising, such signals may not change the operation of strictly necessary or permitted analytics technologies.

15. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.

There is not currently a universally accepted technical or legal standard for responding to every Do Not Track signal.

Accordingly, the Services may not respond to all Do Not Track signals.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a specific opt-out signal, we will comply with that requirement.

16. Third-Party Providers

Depending on the final website configuration, InHive may use technologies provided by third parties.

Potential providers may include:

  • GoDaddy; 
  • Google Analytics; 
  • Google reCAPTCHA; 
  • Vimeo; 
  • YouTube; 
  • Microsoft Clarity; 
  • HubSpot; 
  • Mailchimp; 
  • Meta; 
  • LinkedIn; 
  • Stripe; 
  • scheduling providers; 
  • customer-support widgets; 
  • cloud hosting providers; and 
  • other service providers. 

This list must not be published as a confirmed provider list unless the corresponding tools are actually active.

The final Cookie Policy should name each active provider and link its purpose to the relevant cookie category.

17. Specific Cookie Table

The final published version should include a table based on an actual cookie scan.

Use the following format:

Cookie or Technology Provider Category Purpose Duration Consent preference cookie InHive or website provider Strictly Necessary Records cookie choices Up to 12 months Session cookie InHive or hosting provider Strictly Necessary Maintains secure website or account session Session Authentication cookie InHive or authentication provider Strictly Necessary Keeps authorized users signed in Session or stated period Security/CAPTCHA cookie Security provider Strictly Necessary Prevents automated abuse and fraud Provider-defined Analytics identifier Analytics provider Measures website usage and performance Provider-defined Video player cookie Video provider Functional/Analytics Supports embedded video functionality Provider-defined 

Do not insert guessed cookie names or expiration periods. Run an actual scan first and replace the placeholders with verified information.

18. Google Analytics

Include this section only if Google Analytics is active.

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Services. Google Analytics may collect device, browser, approximate location, interaction, and usage information through cookies or similar technologies.
 
Where required, Google Analytics will be activated only after consent. We may also configure available privacy settings, including IP-related controls, data-retention settings, consent mode, and restrictions on advertising features.
 

Before publishing this section, confirm:

  • whether GA4 is active; 
  • whether Google Signals is enabled; 
  • whether advertising features are enabled; 
  • the configured retention period; 
  • whether consent mode is active; and 
  • whether data sharing with Google is enabled. 

19. GoDaddy Technologies

Because the public website is built or hosted through GoDaddy, GoDaddy may use necessary and operational technologies to:

  • deliver website content; 
  • protect the website; 
  • maintain sessions; 
  • support forms; 
  • remember preferences; 
  • measure technical performance; and 
  • operate built-in website features. 

The exact GoDaddy cookies should be identified through an actual scan and reflected in the cookie table.

Do not assume that every GoDaddy cookie is strictly necessary. Each cookie should be categorized based on its real purpose.

20. reCAPTCHA and Security Tools

Include this section if Google reCAPTCHA or another CAPTCHA service is active.

We may use CAPTCHA or similar security technologies to help distinguish legitimate users from automated activity, prevent spam, and protect forms and accounts.
 
These technologies may collect device, browser, IP-address, interaction, and security information. Their operation may be governed by the provider’s privacy policy and terms.
 

Confirm whether reCAPTCHA loads before or only after interaction and whether any associated cookies are placed.

21. Embedded Video

Include this section if Vimeo, YouTube, or another embedded video platform is used.

Embedded videos may cause the video provider to receive information about your browser, device, IP address, and interaction with the video.
 
Where available, InHive may use privacy-enhanced or limited-tracking settings. Nonessential video-related cookies may be blocked until consent is provided where required.
 

22. Social Media Links and Widgets

A simple link to a social-media page does not necessarily place the same cookies as an embedded social widget.

If the Services contain embedded social plugins, share buttons, feeds, or tracking tags, the provider may collect information when the page loads or when you interact with the feature.

Any active social-media tracking technology must be included in the cookie table and consent mechanism.

23. Email Tracking

Emails sent by InHive may contain tracking technologies that help us understand whether:

  • an email was delivered; 
  • an email was opened; 
  • a link was clicked; or 
  • a recipient interacted with the message. 

Where required by law, we will provide applicable choices or disclosures regarding email tracking.

Email tracking may be governed by both this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy.

24. Retention of Cookie Data

Cookie duration varies by category and provider.

We seek to retain cookie-derived information only for as long as reasonably necessary for:

  • security; 
  • website operation; 
  • analytics; 
  • troubleshooting; 
  • recordkeeping; 
  • legal compliance; and 
  • other disclosed purposes. 

The cookie table should identify the expiration period of each cookie where reasonably available.

Analytics data retention may differ from the expiration of the cookie itself.

25. International Visitors

Cookie and tracking rules differ by jurisdiction.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and certain other jurisdictions, consent may be required before nonessential cookies or similar technologies are placed or accessed.

Strictly necessary technologies may be exempt from consent in limited circumstances, but the exception should be interpreted narrowly. The UK ICO explains that certain storage or access technologies may operate without consent only under specified exceptions. 

26. Children

The Services are intended for businesses and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly use cookies to profile or target children under 13.

If we learn that the Services have knowingly collected personal information from a child in circumstances governed by COPPA, we will take appropriate steps consistent with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. 

27. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect:

  • changes in the Services; 
  • new cookies or technologies; 
  • changes to providers; 
  • changes in law; 
  • changes to consent practices; or 
  • operational requirements. 

The “Last Updated” date will indicate the latest revision.

If a change is material, we may provide notice through:

  • the website; 
  • the cookie banner; 
  • the preference center; 
  • email; 
  • the platform; or 
  • another appropriate method.
