Cookie Policy
Effective date: February 05, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains in detail how Infocentrica Limited (“Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the operation of the ScrapeIntel platform, website, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
This Cookie Policy is drafted to ensure compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and applicable guidance issued by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
This Cookie Policy should be read together with the Company’s Privacy Policy.
1. WHAT COOKIES ARE
1.1.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on a user’s device when a website or online service is accessed. These files allow the website or service to recognise the user’s device and to store certain technical information necessary for the proper operation, security, and performance of the service during and across browsing sessions.
1.2.
Cookies may operate for different durations depending on their function. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when the user closes their browser, while persistent cookies remain stored on the user’s device for a defined period or until they are manually deleted, allowing information to be retained between visits where appropriate.
1.3.
In addition to traditional browser cookies, the Service may use similar technologies such as local storage, server-side identifiers, or equivalent technical mechanisms where such technologies are required to achieve comparable functional, security, or performance-related purposes in a technically efficient manner.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES USED BY THE SERVICE
2.1.
The Service uses cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Service. These cookies enable essential functionality, including user authentication, session continuity, access control, load balancing, and the protection of the Service against unauthorised access or malicious activity.
2.2.
The Service may use functional cookies that allow the Service to remember information about user choices or preferences, such as language settings or interface configurations, in order to provide a more consistent and user-friendly experience across multiple sessions without tracking users beyond the Service.
2.3.
The Service may use analytical or performance cookies to collect information about how the Service is accessed and used. Such information is used to analyse aggregated usage patterns, monitor technical performance, identify errors or inefficiencies, and support the ongoing improvement and optimisation of the Service.
2.4.
The Service does not use cookies for behavioural advertising, cross-site tracking, or independent third-party marketing purposes, and does not permit cookies to be used to track users across unrelated websites or services.
3. PURPOSES OF USING COOKIES
3.1.
Cookies are used to ensure that the Service functions correctly and securely, including enabling users to log in, maintain authenticated sessions, and access features that require secure identification and session continuity.
3.2.
Cookies are used to protect the integrity and security of the Service by supporting mechanisms designed to detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse, mitigate security risks, and ensure that the Service is not misused or compromised.
3.3.
Cookies are used to analyse the technical performance and usage of the Service, including identifying how features are used, decting errors, and assessing system load, in order to maintain and improve the reliability and efficiency of the Service.
3.4.
Where functional cookies are used, they are used solely to store user-selected preferences and settings relevant to the operation of the Service and are not used for profiling, marketing, or tracking users outside the scope of the Service.
4. LEGAL BASIS FOR COOKIE USE
4.1.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation and security of the Service are used on the basis that such cookies are required to provide the Service requested by the user and are therefore exempt from consent requirements under applicable law.
4.2.
Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, such cookies are used only where a valid legal basis exists, including the user’s consent where required by applicable law, and only for the purposes explicitly described in this Cookie Policy.
4.3.
Where consent is required, the Company ensures that such consent is obtained in a clear, informed, and granular manner, allowing users to understand the purposes of cookie use and to exercise genuine choice in relation to non-essential cookies.
5. COOKIE CONSENT AND MANAGEMENT
5.1.
Where required by applicable law, users are presented with a cookie notice or consent mechanism when accessing the Service, enabling them to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies in an informed and transparent manner.
5.2.
Users may manage or withdraw their cookie preferences at any time through browser settings or, where applicable, through cookie management tools provided on the Service, without affecting the lawfulness of cookie use prior to withdrawal.
5.3.
Disabling or restricting certain cookies may affect the availability, functionality, or performance of some features of the Service; however, essential cookies required for the operation and security of the Service will remain active where legally permitted.
6. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
6.1.
The Service may rely on third-party service providers for infrastructure, analytics, or security-related functions. Where technically necessary, such providers may place cookies or similar technologies on the user’s device solely for the purpose of delivering those services.
6.2.
Any third-party cookies used in connection with the Service are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third parties. The Company does not independently control such cookies beyond implementing appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.
6.3.
The Company does not permit third-party cookies to be used on the Service for independent advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking purposes.
7. COOKIE RETENTION
7.1.
Cookies are retained for periods that are proportionate to their specific purpose. Session cookies are deleted automatically when the browser session ends, while persistent cookies are retained only for as long as necessary to support their intended function.
7.2.
The Company periodically reviews the cookies used by the Service to ensure that retention periods remain appropriate, that cookies are not retained longer than necessary, and that obsolete or unnecessary cookies are removed.
8. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
8.1.
The Company may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, technical implementation, or the operation of the Service.
8.2.
Any updated version of this Cookie Policy will be published on the Service and will take effect from the date of publication, unless a later effective date is expressly stated.
9. CONTACT DETAILS
9.1.
