Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the site operators.

Cookies allow the Platform to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and how you interact with the Platform.

2. How We Use Cookies

The 3 Inventors Portal uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

Authenticate your identity and maintain your session when you are logged in.
Remember your preferences and settings across visits.
Ensure the security and integrity of your account and the Platform.
Understand how you interact with the Platform to improve functionality and performance.
Analyse usage patterns to enhance the overall user experience.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies used on the Platform into the following types:

Essential Cookies — Required for the Platform to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.
Performance Cookies — Help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform by collecting anonymous usage data.
Functionality Cookies — Remember your choices and preferences to provide a more personalised experience.
Analytics Cookies — Allow us to measure and analyse how the Platform is used so we can improve its performance and design.

4. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the Platform. Without these cookies, core features such as authentication, session management, and security protections would not function. These cookies include:

Authentication cookies — Verify your identity and keep you logged in during your session.
Session management cookies — Maintain your session state as you navigate between pages and modules.
Security cookies — Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other security threats.
Load balancing cookies — Distribute traffic across servers to ensure Platform availability.

Because these cookies are essential to the Platform's operation, they cannot be refused or disabled. They are set automatically when you access the Platform.

5. Performance & Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies collect information about how you use the Platform, such as which pages you visit most often, how long you spend on each page, and whether you encounter any errors. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify you personally.

We use this information to:

Identify and resolve technical issues and errors.
Understand which features and modules are most used.
Optimise page load times and overall Platform performance.
Make informed decisions about future development and improvements.

6. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we use third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. These third parties include:

Analytics providers — To help us understand Platform usage patterns and performance metrics.
Security services — To detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect against automated threats.
Payment processors — To facilitate secure payment transactions for subscription services.

We do not control the cookies set by third parties. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party services for more information about how they use cookies.

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

For non-essential cookies, you can manage your preferences through:

Your browser settings — Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies.
