On your first visit a bar appears with three options: accept all, reject all, or choose per category. Only strictly necessary cookies are always on; they are needed to sign in and to protect forms, and no consent is required for them by law. Analytics and marketing cookies are placed only after you switch them on, and the corresponding scripts are not even loaded until then. You can change your choice later through the Cookie preferences link at the bottom of every page.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website or sign in to the platform. The same rules cover similar techniques such as browser storage and third-party measurement pixels.

3. What we place

A. Strictly necessary

Without these the platform does not work. They are always placed.

xitad_auth: keeps you signed in during your visit to the platform. Expires after 24 hours.
Cloudflare Turnstile: checks on registration, partner sign-up and password reset whether a form is submitted by a human. Cloudflare stores data in your browser for the duration of that check.
xitad_cookie_preferences: remembers in your browser storage which choice you made in the cookie bar, so it does not reappear on every visit. This is browser storage rather than a cookie; it is not sent to our server.

B. Analytics

Google Analytics 4, to see which pages are read and where visitors drop off. Loaded only after your consent. Google places cookies that recognise your browser on a later visit.

C. Marketing

Google Ads and the LinkedIn Insight Tag, to measure which advertisement led to a request and to be able to show advertisements. These are third-party advertising networks and measurement pixels: they also process your data for their own purposes. Loaded only after you switch marketing on, and we additionally pass your choice to Google through Consent Mode.

4. Changing or withdrawing your choice

At the bottom of every page there is a link to your cookie preferences. There you switch categories on or off; a withdrawal takes effect from that moment. You can also delete or refuse cookies through your browser settings.

Note: if you disable strictly necessary cookies in your browser, you can no longer sign in to the platform.
