Cookie Policy

Effective: June 11, 2026 · Last updated: June 11, 2026

This page explains the cookies and similar technologies iNGen uses on our website and in the product, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and SDKs in mobile apps. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of these.

2. Who sets them

First-party cookies are set by iNGen (INGEN LABS PTY LTD). Third-party cookies are set by partners we use for analytics, payments, support chat, or campaign measurement. Our subprocessor list is in the Trust Center.

3. Categories we use

We group cookies into four categories:

CategoryPurposeOptional?
Strictly necessaryRequired to log you in, keep your session secure, remember your role (recruiter or student), and load balance traffic. The site won't work without these.Examples: session token, CSRF token, audience preferenceNo
PreferencesRemember UI choices — light/dark mode, Aristotle panel state, last-viewed tab, dismissed notices — so the workspace looks the way you left it.Examples: theme, sidebar state, tour-dismissed flagsYes
AnalyticsHelp us understand which features are used, where users get stuck, and what to improve. Aggregated and de-identified wherever possible.Examples: page views, feature interactions, performance metricsYes
MarketingMeasure the effectiveness of campaigns that bring people to iNGen, and avoid showing the same content twice. We don't sell this data.Examples: campaign attribution, conversion pixelsYes

4. Your choices

Where consent is required, we ask before setting optional cookies. You can change your choices at any time from the cookie banner footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.

Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site — you'll be signed out and your role toggle, theme, and tour state will reset.

5. Do Not Track

Browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal that isn't consistently defined across the industry. We honour explicit cookie choices made in our banner, and the Global Privacy Control (GPC) where supported.

6. Retention

Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last from a few minutes (CSRF tokens) up to 13 months (campaign attribution). We review retention periods regularly to keep them as short as practical.

7. Updates

We may update this policy as we add or retire cookies. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version.
