Cookie policy

How you choose

The first time you arrive we show a notice with three categories. Necessary cookies are always on, because the site does not work without them. Analytics and marketing start switched off and run only if you accept them.

You can change your choice at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer. If you withdraw a category we stop loading those tools immediately and delete what they stored on our domain, identifiers included. What a third party stored on its own domain is beyond our reach: that is removed from your browser settings.

Necessary

Always on. Without them you cannot sign in or submit the form safely.

• elap_session — keeps you signed in. First-party. Lasts for the session.
• elap_csrf — protects forms against forged submissions from other sites. First-party.
• elap_oauth — secures the round trip when signing in with an external provider. First-party, temporary.
• elap_consent — stores your cookie choice so we do not ask again. First-party. Lasts 12 months.

Analytics

These load only if you accept this category. They tell us how many people visit, from which country and which pages they read, so we know what is worth writing.

Google Analytics 4, from Google Ireland Limited. Google does not receive your name or email from here, and Analytics does not store your IP address: it uses it to infer the country and discards it. It sets these cookies:

• _ga — distinguishes one visitor from another. First-party. Lasts 2 years.
• _ga_LW4V8H3H9R — keeps this site's measurement session state. First-party. Lasts 2 years.

Marketing

These load only if you accept this category. They let us measure which LinkedIn campaign brought the visit and show ads to people who already know the product.

LinkedIn Insight Tag, from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. It sets the cookies below. Their lifetimes are set by LinkedIn and published in LinkedIn's own cookie table:

• li_fat_id — identifier used to attribute the visit to a campaign.
• bcookie — LinkedIn browser identifier.
• lidc — load balancing across LinkedIn servers.
• UserMatchHistory — advertising identifier synchronisation.
• AnalyticsSyncHistory — synchronisation with LinkedIn analytics.
• li_gc — stores cookie consent on LinkedIn's side.
• li_adsId — advertising identifier. Not a cookie: LinkedIn keeps it in the browser's local storage, where nothing expires on its own. We delete it if you withdraw the category.

Removing them from your browser

Every browser lets you view and delete stored cookies and block third-party ones, under its privacy settings. Note that blocking the necessary ones stops parts of the site from working.
