Cookie Policy

Effective April 18, 2026

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser to remember things about you between visits — whether you’re logged in, what you’ve added to a cart, whether you’ve dismissed a banner. Similar technologies like local storage, pixels, and device fingerprints do related things in slightly different ways. When we say “cookies” on this page we mean all of them.

Our approach

We split cookies into three categories below. Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the Site can’t function without them. The other two categories — analytics and advertising — only load if you give consent through our cookie banner. You can decline all non-essential cookies entirely and the Site will still work normally.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessaryAlways active

Required for the Site to function. These remember security tokens, form state, and your cookie-banner choice itself.

  • rtn_consent

    Stores your cookie-banner choice so we don't ask you again on every visit.

  • __cf_bm / cf_clearance

    Security cookies set by Cloudflare to distinguish legitimate visitors from bots.

  • Form session cookies

    Used briefly to pass contact-form submissions to our CRM. Expire quickly.

AnalyticsConsent required

Help us understand how visitors discover and use the Site so we can improve content, navigation, and performance.

  • Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*)

    Aggregate page-view and session measurement. Does not identify you personally.

  • Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk)

    Heatmaps and session replays used to improve usability. Masks sensitive inputs by default.

AdvertisingConsent required

Measure the effectiveness of our paid ads and let advertising platforms show relevant follow-up messages after you visit.

  • Google Ads (_gcl_*)

    Tracks conversions from Google Ads clicks.

  • Meta Pixel (_fbp)

    Meta (Facebook/Instagram) conversion tracking and audience building.

  • LinkedIn Insight Tag (li_fat_id, bcookie, lidc)

    LinkedIn conversion tracking and audience building.

  • ChatGPT / OpenAI Ads (oppref)

    Measures conversions from ads shown inside ChatGPT. Uses a first-party cookie.

Changing your choice

Your cookie-banner choice is remembered for 12 months. To change it before then, clear this site’s cookies and local storage in your browser settings and reload the page — the banner will reappear. If your jurisdiction requires a persistent opt-out control, we’ll add a footer link to re-open the banner; email us if you need this enabled for you.

You can also control cookies at the browser level. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or delete specific cookies. Instructions vary by browser; search your browser’s help for “manage cookies.”

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by your browser. When we detect a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of analytics and advertising cookies regardless of your banner choice. Browser Do Not Track signals are handled the same way.

Related policies

How we handle the information collected through cookies is described in our Privacy Policy.
