What we store on your device

We run no analytics cookies and no advertising tracking. We count how many people are on the site without any cookie or anything stored on your device: the server mixes your address and browser with a salt that changes every day into a one-way code, feeds it to a counter that cannot list its visitors, and keeps only the totals for three days. Your address is never stored. Nothing on this site follows you or profiles you, and nothing reports your visit to anyone else. The only things we put on your device are the ones the site needs to work, and they are listed in full below. One thing loads from outside only when you choose it: after you send a brief, the booking calendar is Google's, and it appears only once you tap Show the calendar.

This page is about storage on your own device, which Dutch law treats separately from everything else we might hold about you. It is governed by article 11.7a of the Telecommunicatiewet, which is the Dutch implementation of the European ePrivacy directive, together with the GDPR. Everything we hold that is not on your device is in the privacy notice.

The rule is about storing or reading anything on the equipment you are using, not about one particular technology. Cookies are covered, and so are local storage, session storage and any technique that recognises your browser without storing anything at all. So this page describes what we store and why, rather than listing cookie names as though the others did not count.

These keep you signed in, remember whether you chose the light or the dark theme, hold the work in progress in your browser while you are part way through building a brand, and record the answer you gave to this very question. They are exempt from the consent requirement because the service you asked for does not work without them, and we would have no way to provide it if you switched them off. None of them are used to build a picture of you and none of them are shared with anyone.

In full, and this is the complete list:

·Staying signed in. If you have an account, a cookie whose name begins sb- keeps your session, shared across intelligency.nl so you sign in once. A long session is split over a few numbered cookies. It lasts up to 400 days, or until you sign out.

·Early access. A cookie named ig_preview, set only for people let past the holding page while parts of the site are not yet open. It lasts 30 days. If you have never been let in early, you do not have it.

·Your answer to the consent question. A cookie named ig_consent, written only once you answer. It records which version of the question you were shown, the date you answered, and exactly which categories you allowed. It lasts six months, after which we ask again. It is never sent to us: the decision about what runs is made in your browser.

·Light or dark. A value named theme in local storage, so the site does not flash white at you if you prefer dark. It stays until you clear your browser storage.

·Where you left off. In the app, local storage holds the brand and stage you had open, drafts you have not saved and how you set up your views, under names beginning ig. A few short-lived values sit in session storage and are gone when you close the tab. All of it stays on your device and is never sent to us.

Withdrawing is the same two clicks as agreeing, and it works at any time. There is a Cookie settings link in the footer of every page, and this button opens the same panel.

Cookie settings

When you switch a category off we delete the things those scripts stored on our own domain and reload the page so they stop running. We cannot reach anything a third party stored on its own domain. Your browser settings can, and so can the vendor links above.

Your browser can also refuse in advance. If it sends a Global Privacy Control signal we record a refusal without asking you anything, and we say so in the settings panel.

·No cookie wall. Nothing on this site is withheld from you for refusing. Consent given to get past a barrier is not consent.

·Nothing is pre-ticked. Every optional category starts off, and Accept and Refuse are the same button in different words.

·No record of your answer reaches us. We keep no server-side log of who consented to what. The record is the cookie on your device, it is shown back to you in the settings panel, and it disappears when you clear your browser.

·No tracking on our own screens. Nothing runs on the admin area or on the pages a brandbook PDF is rendered from.
