Cookie Policy
This page lists every cookie and similar storage technology used on codnity.com, operated by SIA ‘Codnity Group’, unified reg. No. 42103113394. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
What we ask you to agree to
Nothing optional runs before you answer the banner. Analytics and marketing scripts are not loaded at all until you accept them, and Google’s tags run in a consent-denied state that stores nothing on your device until then.
Declining costs you nothing. The site works identically either way - we lose the measurement, you lose no functionality.
Necessary
Always on, because without them the site cannot remember what you have already told it. Neither of these is a tracking cookie and neither leaves your browser.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| codnity:consent:v1 | Codnity (browser local storage, not a cookie) | Stores your answer to the cookie banner so you are not asked on every page. Contains only two true/false values and the date you answered. | 12 months, then the banner asks again |
| codnity:outlink-warning:dismissed | Codnity (session storage, not a cookie) | Remembers that you chose to stop seeing the notice shown when a link leaves codnity.com for another Codnity Group brand. | Cleared when you close the tab |
Analytics
Optional. These tell us which pages help and which do not, which is how we decide what to rewrite.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one visitor from another and groups their page views into a session, so we can see which pages get read and which get abandoned. Not used to identify you by name. | Up to 2 years |
| _hjSessionUser_*, _hjSession_* | Hotjar | Records anonymised scroll and click behaviour so we can see where a page confuses people. Loads only if you accept analytics. | Session cookie 30 minutes, user cookie up to 12 months |
Marketing
Optional. These connect an enquiry back to the advertising that produced it, and let us show ads to people who have visited before.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp, _fbc | Meta (Facebook) Pixel | Measures whether a visit followed one of our ads and lets us build audiences for advertising. Loads only if you accept marketing. | Up to 90 days |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads, via Google Tag Manager | Attributes a form submission to the ad click that led to it, so we can tell which campaigns produce enquiries. | Up to 90 days |
| _lfa | Leadfeeder | Identifies the company a visitor is browsing from, using their network address, so our sales team knows which organisations are researching us. Loads only if you accept marketing. | Up to 2 years |
Changing your mind
Withdrawing is as easy as accepting. reopens the banner so you can answer again. The same link is in the footer of every page.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. That works regardless of what you told us, and it also removes cookies set by any other site.
We ask again after 12 months even if you do nothing, so a choice you made once does not follow you indefinitely.
Where the data goes
Google, Meta, Hotjar and Leadfeeder are independent controllers of the data their own cookies collect, and each may process it outside the EU or EEA under the transfer safeguards described in their own policies. We do not sell your data to anyone.
