The short version
We use cookies and similar technologies to run this site, understand how people use it, and support our marketing. Only the strictly necessary ones load before you choose. Everything else waits for your consent, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time from the cookie preferences link in our footer. The table near the end lists every cookie currently in use, generated from a scan of the site.
This policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains what we do with the data these technologies collect and what rights you have over it.
What these technologies are
A cookie is a small text file a website places on your device. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period, which the table below gives for each one.
Cookies are not the only method in use. Web beacons, tracking pixels, and clear GIFs are small transparent images that report when someone opened a page or an email. Local storage and session storage hold data in your browser without using a cookie at all. Software development kits and scripts embedded by third parties can read device and browser characteristics directly.
We use the word “cookies” throughout this policy as shorthand for all of it. That matters for one practical reason: blocking cookies in your browser does not stop the other methods. Pixels will still load, though with reduced function, and local storage is governed by separate browser settings.
How consent works
When you first visit, a banner asks which categories you accept. Until you choose, we load only strictly necessary and security cookies, which do not require consent. Nothing in the functionality, analytics, advertising, or embedded content categories loads until you accept it.
Changing your mind
The Cookie Preferences link in our site footer reopens the banner. You can change any category or withdraw consent entirely, and the change takes effect immediately. Withdrawing consent stops future collection. To have data already collected deleted, email privacy@crowdfavorite.com.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser or an extension sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out of advertising and identity resolution cookies, and as an opt-out of sale and sharing under United States state privacy laws. You do not need to interact with our banner for that to take effect.
Browser settings
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies directly, which applies across all sites rather than just ours. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of this site. Instructions are in the help documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Categories we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to work. These handle page delivery, load balancing, security tokens, form submission, and remembering your cookie choices. They load without consent because the site cannot function without them, and you cannot turn them off through our banner.
Security
Protect the site and its forms against fraud and automated abuse. Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA both set cookies for this purpose. We treat these as necessary.
Functionality
Remember preferences you have set, such as language or region. Losing these degrades the experience without breaking the site.
Analytics and performance
Tell us which pages people visit, how they arrive, how long they stay, and where they run into trouble. We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregate traffic measurement, and Microsoft Clarity for session recordings and heatmaps.
Clarity records mouse movement, scrolling, clicks, and navigation, which produces a replay of the visit. It is configured to mask text you type into form fields. Because that is a recording of behavior rather than a page count, we call it out here rather than folding it into ordinary analytics.
Advertising and visitor identification
Measure our marketing and identify who is interested in our work.
The LinkedIn Insight Tag reports which companies visit us, measures campaign performance, and builds audiences for LinkedIn campaigns. Clay resolves anonymous traffic to companies and, where the data allows, to individuals, which our business development team uses to decide who to contact.
LiveIntent is an identity resolution service. It maintains an identity graph built from email engagement, which lets it recognize a returning visitor and connect that visit to activity on other sites. Unlike the rest of this category, it does not depend on a cookie to do that. It stores its identifier in your browser’s local storage and can work from a hashed email address, so blocking or clearing cookies will not switch it off. Declining this category will, because we hold the script until you consent.
RB2B identifies individual visitors rather than just their employer. For United States traffic it can return a visitor’s name, LinkedIn profile, and work email address. It does not run on visitors outside the United States.
We do not buy display retargeting and we do not run our own ad network. Under California and several other state privacy laws, the activity described in this category still counts as targeted advertising and as sharing data for cross-context behavioral advertising, so it carries an opt-out. Declining this category, or sending a Global Privacy Control signal, is that opt-out.
Embedded content
Video and audio we embed from Vimeo, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts, and sharing buttons for social platforms. These providers set their own cookies and track activity under their own policies, and we have no control over what they collect. Where a privacy-preserving mode exists we use it, which is why YouTube embeds load from youtube-nocookie.com.
Cookies currently in use
The table below is generated from a scan of this site and updated when our tooling changes. It gives the name, provider, purpose, duration, and category of each cookie. If you find a cookie on this site that the table does not list, email privacy@crowdfavorite.com and we will correct it.

Legal basis
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, we rely on consent for functionality, analytics, advertising, and embedded content cookies, under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive as implemented locally. We rely on legitimate interests for strictly necessary and security cookies, which are exempt from the consent requirement.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our tooling or the law changes. The last-updated date at the top tells you when the current version took effect, and the cookie table updates on its own scan schedule.
