Third-party cookies we use

Hotjar

We use Hotjar in order to better understand your needs. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us understand your experience. (e.g. how much time you spend on which pages, which links you choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) This enables us to build and maintain our service with your feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices, in particular device's IP address (captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), preferred language used to display our website). Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. Neither Hotjar nor we will ever use this information to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user. For further details, please see Hotjar’s privacy policy.

Google Analytics cookies store information in order to report on website trends. The information collected includes the pages you visit, the time of your visit, whether you have been to the site before and what site referred you to the web page.

We use Google AdWords Remarketing to advertise triggers across the Internet.

LinkedIn Insights 

The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a piece of lightweight JavaScript code that we have added to our websites to enable in-depth campaign reporting and to help us unlock valuable insights about website visitors like you. We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track conversions, re-target website visitors, and unlock additional insights about members interacting with our LinkedIn adverts.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of metadata such as IP address information, timestamp, and events such as page views. All data is encrypted. The LinkedIn browser cookie is stored in a visitor's browser until they delete the cookie or the cookie expires (there’s a rolling six-month expiration from the last time the visitor’s browser loaded the Insight Tag).

You can opt-out of cookies from LinkedIn on your LinkedIn settings page and recommend you read their Cookie Policy for more information.
