Your marketing cookie choice

Privacy policy

Optional cookies let Google Analytics measure site usage and product interactions, Meta measure advertising visits, Origami identify visiting companies, HeyCatch understand public-page interactions, and Google measure first paid technician memberships. These uses stay off unless you accept. Declining does not affect your account or access to opportunities.

Cookie details

Google Analytics measures site usage and product interactions, including signed-in pages, only after you accept this updated choice. Page addresses are normalized to exclude query strings and personal identifiers. Meta, Origami, and HeyCatch are limited to eligible public marketing pages. Origami uses your IP address to help identify visiting companies, not named individuals. It does not track signed-in visitors or receive account details. HeyCatch measures visits and interactions on eligible public pages, with captured text and element attributes masked. We do not identify you to HeyCatch or track private account pages. These services stay off until you accept and stop when you decline or withdraw permission. Accepting also lets us link your Google Analytics browser identifier to your first paid technician membership to measure advertising results in Google Analytics and Google Ads. We do not send your name, email, profile details, or payment-card details to Google. This optional measurement can happen when a trial ends, without you returning to the site. Dismissing the notice does not give permission. Declining or withdrawing stops future membership measurement, but does not remove previously reported events. It also stops future Google Analytics collection and clears accessible first-party Google Analytics cookies. Older marketing choices do not enable general analytics. You can change your choice anytime using Marketing cookie settings in the footer.
