Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage, and support marketing efforts. You can manage your preferences through our consent banner or browser settings.

Essential Cookies

Required for website functionality, security, fraud prevention, and job application systems. These cannot be disabled without losing core functionality.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

Help us understand website usage, measure performance, improve user experience, and optimize recruitment processes. Includes Google Analytics and custom analytics tools.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Used to deliver relevant advertisements, measure campaign effectiveness, track job board performance, and limit ad frequency. Includes LinkedIn Insights, Google Ads, and retargeting pixels.

You can manage cookie preferences through our consent banner, browser settings, or by visiting Cookie Policy

Persistent Visitor Identification

When you grant analytics consent, we use persistent visitor identification to provide more accurate analytics and improve your experience across sessions.

This persistent tracking allows us to:

  • Accurately count unique visitors to our website
  • Understand which marketing channels effectively reach our audience
  • Analyze customer journeys across multiple visits
  • Improve website performance and user experience over time

Data Stored

  • Session Identifier: A randomly generated UUID in the format sess_xxxxx
  • Advertising Click IDs: Parameters from advertising platforms (gclid, gbraid, wbraid for Google Ads; li_fat_id for LinkedIn Ads). These identifiers are captured immediately when you arrive from an advertisement and initially stored in temporary browser memory (sessionStorage) to enable conversion tracking based on legitimate interest. If you grant analytics consent, they are moved to persistent storage (localStorage) for improved attribution accuracy.
  • Storage Location: Browser localStorage (persists until you revoke consent or clear browser data)

Consent-Based Storage

  • With Analytics Consent: Your session identifier and click IDs are stored in localStorage and persist across browser sessions.
  • Without Analytics Consent: Data is stored only in sessionStorage and is automatically deleted when you close your browser.
  • If you grant consent mid-session, your existing session data is migrated from temporary to persistent storage.
  • If you revoke consent, all persistent tracking data is immediately deleted from localStorage, and a new temporary session identifier is created.

Legal Basis

We process this data based on your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You have the right to revoke your consent at any time through our consent management interface.

Data Retention

  • With consent: Up to 13 months of inactivity (automatically deleted by server after 395 days)
  • Without consent: Session duration only (deleted when browser is closed)
  • Upon consent revocation: Immediate deletion from both client-side storage and server databases

Your Rights

  • View your current session identifier on this page (see Analytics Session ID section below)
  • Revoke analytics consent at any time to stop persistent tracking
  • Clear your browser's localStorage to remove all stored identifiers
  • Contact us to request deletion of any analytics data associated with your session

Advertising Conversion Tracking

We use server-side conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. When you submit a form, request a demo, or take other qualifying actions on our website, we may send conversion data to our advertising partners to understand which advertisements drove your action and optimize our marketing spend.

Data Collected

We collect two tiers of conversion data:

Tier 1: Basic Conversion Data (Always Tracked)

  • Conversion value (if applicable)

Tier 2: Enhanced Conversion Data (Only with Marketing Consent)

  • Phone number (SHA-256 hashed before transmission)

Advertising Partners

Conversion data is sent to:

  • Google Ads: For measuring Google advertising campaign effectiveness and ROI
  • LinkedIn Ads: For measuring LinkedIn campaign performance and business audience targeting

Legal Basis for Processing

Legitimate Interest (Tier 1 Data)

We track basic conversion metrics based on legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) to measure advertising ROI, optimize ad spend, understand customer journey, and prevent fraud. This processing is necessary for our business operations and does not override your fundamental rights.

Marketing Consent (Tier 2 Data)

We only include personally identifiable information (PII) in conversion events when you have explicitly consented to marketing communications. This enhanced data improves ad targeting accuracy and match rates with advertising platforms. You can grant or withdraw consent at any time through our consent management interface.

Data Security and Privacy

  • Server-Side Processing: All conversion tracking is performed server-side through our Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) service, eliminating the need for third-party cookies on your device.
  • SHA-256 Hashing: All personally identifiable information (email, phone, name) is hashed using SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm before transmission to advertising platforms. The original plaintext data is never sent.
  • Ephemeral Processing: PII is hashed in-memory during request processing and immediately discarded. We do not store conversion PII in databases or logs.
  • IP Anonymization: IP addresses are automatically anonymized before any processing (IPv4: last octet zeroed; IPv6: last 80 bits zeroed).

Your Rights and Control

  • Opt-Out: You can opt out of enhanced conversion tracking (Tier 2) by declining marketing consent in our consent banner.
  • Basic Tracking: Even if you decline marketing consent, we will continue to track basic conversion metrics (Tier 1) based on legitimate interest. This data contains no PII and cannot identify you personally.
  • Data Access: Since conversion data is processed ephemerally and not stored, we cannot provide access to historical conversion data. However, you can review your current consent status and manage preferences at any time.
  • CCPA Opt-Out: California residents can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (as defined by CCPA) by declining marketing consent. Click IDs and basic conversion data (Tier 1) do not constitute "sale" under CCPA.

Data Retention

Conversion data retention by our advertising partners:

  • Google Ads: Conversion data is retained for up to 18 months for campaign optimization, then automatically deleted or anonymized.
  • LinkedIn Ads: Conversion data is retained for up to 12 months for reporting and analytics purposes.
  • Beakwise: We do not retain conversion data beyond the ephemeral processing period (milliseconds). All PII is discarded immediately after hashing and transmission.

How Conversion Tracking Works

Advertising platforms use hashed PII to match conversions to their user profiles, enabling accurate attribution and campaign optimization. Typical match rates:

  • Tier 1 Only (Click IDs): ~60-70% match rate
  • Tier 2 Enhanced (PII + Click IDs): ~85-95% match rate

Higher match rates mean more accurate ROI measurement and better ad targeting, but require your explicit marketing consent.
