This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Invitofy uses them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences over time so you don't have to re-enter them each visit. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a set period).
We also use localStorage (a similar technology built into your browser) to store your cookie consent preferences.

3. How We Implement Cookie Consent
When you first visit Invitofy a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen.
You can choose to Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or
Manage Preferences to set individual categories.
Your choice is saved for one year in the ifc cookie and localStorage.
Analytics and marketing scripts are not loaded until you have given explicit consent. They are activated via browser events fired by our consent system once consent is granted.
4. Managing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
- Click the button below to open the Manage Preferences panel.
- Clear cookies in your browser settings to reset all choices.
- Use your browser's built-in privacy controls (most modern browsers support this).
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services (Google, Meta). We have no direct control over these cookies. Please refer to the third parties' own cookie policies for information on how they use cookies and how to opt out.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We honour this signal by not loading analytics or marketing cookies when DNT is enabled, regardless of your saved preferences.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. Check the "Last updated" date at the top of this page for the latest version.
