Cookies
Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience.
- Essential cookies: required for the Website to function.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the Website. With your consent, we use:
- Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google LLC) for traffic and event measurement. We record interactions such as page views, clicks on "Book a demo" buttons, video plays of our product tour and successful demo bookings. Google advertising signals (
ad_storage,ad_user_data,ad_personalization) stay off unless you also accept advertising cookies. - Google Tag Manager (provided by Google LLC) to load and manage measurement and advertising tags after you accept analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or both. The container does not replace the consent gate; scripts from Tag Manager only run once that consent is granted.
- Microsoft Clarity (provided by Microsoft Corporation) for anonymised session recordings and heatmaps. We attach non-identifying tags to sessions (such as the page type and the portfolio size you selected on the demo page) so we can filter recordings, but we do not pass your name, email or phone number to Clarity.
- HubSpot (provided by HubSpot, Inc.) for website analytics and visitor insights in our CRM. We only load the HubSpot tracking code after you accept analytics cookies. HubSpot advertising cookies stay off unless you also accept advertising cookies.
- Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google LLC) for traffic and event measurement. We record interactions such as page views, clicks on "Book a demo" buttons, video plays of our product tour and successful demo bookings. Google advertising signals (
- Advertising cookies: with your consent, we use cookies to measure advertising performance and to show more relevant ads, including via Google Ads. Accepting this category grants Google Consent Mode signals
ad_storage,ad_user_data, andad_personalization. These stay off if you reject advertising cookies. - Preference cookies: remember your choices (e.g., language).
When you complete a demo booking on /book-a-demo, our website may also send Google Analytics 4 a SHA-256 hash of your email address. The hash is computed in your browser before transmission, so Google never receives your raw email. This is used solely to measure that the booking happened (a feature Google calls "enhanced conversions") and is only sent when you have accepted analytics cookies. The actual booking content (your name, email, scheduled time and any meeting notes) is processed by HubSpot, Inc. under a separate data processing agreement, independently of the cookie banner.
Analytics and advertising cookies are only set after you accept them via the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie preferences in the footer, which also erases the corresponding first-party cookies that were already set. You can additionally control cookies through your browser settings.
