Cookie Policy

Transparent information about cookie types on INTmarket, retention periods, and how to manage your preferences.

Last updated: July 8, 2026

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit INTmarket (intmarket.cc). They help recognize your device, keep you signed in, and maintain service security.

Similar technologies — localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixel tags — are also called "cookies" in this Policy when they serve similar functions.

This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and aligns with Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ "On Personal Data" where cookies involve personal data.

Why we use cookies

INTmarket uses cookies and similar technologies to:

authenticate and maintain dashboard sessions
protect against automated attacks (ALTCHA CAPTCHA, rate limiting)
remember your cookie banner choice
store local catalog favorites (with consent for functional cookies)
ensure stable API and administrative operation

We do not use advertising or third-party analytics cookies without explicit consent via the site banner.

Managing cookies

You can manage cookies as follows:

Site banner — on first visit, a notice appears bottom-right. Accept all, essential only, or open "Customize" to pick categories. Choice is stored for up to 12 months.
Browser settings — delete or block cookies in Privacy / Cookies settings in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.
Withdraw consent — clear intmarket.cc cookies or remove intmarket_cookie_consent_v1 from localStorage; the banner will reappear.

Disabling essential cookies prevents sign-in and checkout. This does not affect your rights under 152-FZ — see Your rights.

Retention periods

Auth session cookies — until session end or up to 90 days (if "Remember me" is enabled).
Banner consent record — 12 months, then re-requested.
Functional data (favorites) — until you delete or clear browser storage.
Server logs with IP and User-Agent — up to 90 days (see Privacy Policy).

Third-party cookies

When signing in via Telegram Login Widget, Telegram may set its own cookies per Telegram's privacy policy. We do not control these — manage them in browser or Telegram account settings.

ALTCHA CAPTCHA runs on our infrastructure; third-party ad networks and analytics pixels (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.) are not connected.
