This Cookie Policy explains how Capacity currently uses cookies, browser storage and similar technologies on its public website.
Capacity is an initiative of Internet Research Bureau.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that websites may place on your device when you visit them.
Websites may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as authentication, security, remembering preferences, measuring website usage or supporting advertising.
Browser local storage is a related technology that allows a website to save limited information within your browser.
2. What Capacity Currently Uses
The current public Capacity website does not currently use analytics or advertising cookies.
The website uses browser local storage to remember the choice you make on the cookie notice.
The stored preference is identified internally as:
capacity-cookie-choice-v1
It records whether you selected Agree or Disagree.
This prevents the cookie notice from appearing repeatedly after you have made your selection.
3. Essential Browser Storage
The cookie-preference value is stored locally in your browser.
Based on the current website implementation, this preference is not used for advertising or behavioural profiling.
You can remove the stored value by clearing website data or local storage through your browser settings.
The cookie banner may appear again after the value has been removed.
4. Account and Authentication Cookies
The current public website package does not yet have its production login and signup systems connected.
When account functionality is connected, essential cookies or similar technologies may be required for purposes such as:
- Authentication
- Maintaining secure sessions
- Account security
- Fraud or misuse prevention
- Remembering essential account settings
This Cookie Policy should be updated when those systems are deployed if they introduce additional cookies or storage technologies.
5. Advertising Cookies
The current public Capacity website does not currently use advertising or behavioural targeting cookies.
If advertising technologies are introduced later, appropriate information and consent controls should be implemented where required by applicable law.
6. Third-Party Technologies
Future integrations or third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies.
Where such technologies are introduced, Capacity should disclose the relevant provider, purpose, category and applicable storage duration where required.
7. Managing Browser Storage and Cookies
Most browsers allow you to:
- View stored cookies and website data
- Delete cookies
- Clear local storage
- Block certain cookies
- Restrict third-party cookies
- Configure privacy settings
Blocking essential technologies may affect the operation of account or security functionality once those services are available.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
Capacity may update this Cookie Policy when:
- Website technologies change
- Account functionality is introduced
- Analytics tools are introduced
- New integrations are deployed
- Applicable legal requirements change
The revision date at the top of this page should be updated whenever material changes are made.
