Last updated: February 4, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage. This policy covers all such technologies used by Inventeta.
2. How We Use Cookies
Inventeta uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
session_id | Maintains your authenticated session | Session / 24 hours |
csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |

2.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. For self-hosted deployments, analytics are typically disabled or configured by you.
If analytics are enabled on our marketing site, we use privacy-respecting analytics that do not track individual users across sites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
The Service minimizes use of third-party cookies. However, some integrations may set cookies:
- E-commerce Integrations: WooCommerce or Shopify may set cookies when processing webhooks
- Embedded Content: If you embed external content, that content may set its own cookies
We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
4. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to:
- Cache scanner preferences for faster loading
- Store Tesseract OCR language data locally for offline use
- Remember form draft data to prevent loss on accidental navigation
5. How to Control Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies stored on your device

5.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies

5.3 Do Not Track
We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. When DNT is enabled, we do not perform any non-essential tracking.

If you are using a self-hosted deployment of Inventeta:
- All cookies are first-party (set by your own domain)
- No cookies are shared with Inventeta
- You have full control over cookie behavior through configuration
- You are responsible for your own cookie compliance
