Cookies
Which storage is essential, which analytics and marketing stay off until you allow them, and how to change that choice.
Last updated .
Essential
This site does not set an essential cookie. Pages, specialty lists, listings, claim, and takedown work without cookies and without analytics.
Two things can sit in this browser's local storage, which is not a cookie and is not sent to us as a form:
- Your shortlist, if you save agencies. Site storage is on unless you turn it off in Cookie settings. Turning it off clears the shortlist.
- Your privacy choice, after you press Reject all, Accept all, or Save choices. Until you choose, nothing is stored for that purpose.
Analytics, non-essential
Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity stay off until you press Accept all, or turn Analytics on and press Save choices. Their scripts are on the page as inert text. They do not run, and they do not set cookies, before that explicit choice.
Reject all saves a no. Leaving the notice up without pressing a button does not load them. Cancel, or Escape, in Cookie settings does not turn them on.
If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, analytics start off. You can still allow them in Cookie settings.
If you allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity record page views, clicks on agency sites and on the advertisement, and session recordings with typed text hidden. Advertising storage and Google Signals are off. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, analytics start off.
If you allow analytics, those two services may then set their own cookies. What they are for:
- Google privacy policy. Google Analytics 4 counts page views and clicks on agency sites and on the advertisement. Advertising storage and Google Signals stay off in our setup.
- Microsoft Clarity cookies. Clarity records sessions with typed text hidden. We do not use it for ads.
Marketing, non-essential
LinkedIn Insight, Google Ads, Meta, and Microsoft Advertising UET are retargeting tags. Microsoft Advertising is an advertising and measurement provider. All four stay off until you accept Marketing. Each one is an image request with the site origin, the page type, and the specialty, plus a random event id and, when the cookie already exists, Meta's _fbp value. They do not use the vendor tag libraries, so the full page address and the title are not attached. None of them receive an agency name, a listing path, a page title, or a query string. The vendors can still attach their own cookies to the image request.
| Vendor | Cookies | Purpose | Retention | Policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Insight 8885612 | li_sugr, bcookie, lidc, UserMatchHistory, and other li_* cookies | Retargeting and ad measurement | Set by LinkedIn. See their policy. | LinkedIn privacy policy |
| Google Ads AW-17677554600 | IDE, _gcl_au, and other _gcl_* cookies | Retargeting and ad measurement | Set by Google. See their policy. | Google privacy policy |
| Meta pixel 624065520531980 | _fbp, _fbc, and cookies on facebook.com | Retargeting and ad measurement | Set by Meta. See their policy. | Meta privacy policy |
| Microsoft Advertising UET 343279906 | _uetsid, _uetvid, and MUID | Advertising and measurement | Microsoft does not publish a lifetime for _uetsid, the session id, or for _uetvid, the visitor id. MUID expires after 13 months. Microsoft Advertising keeps the event for 390 days. | Microsoft privacy statement |
The same acceptance also sends a first-party event to SuperHired at https://superhired.ai/api/track. That event carries the page type and the specialty. It does not carry the page address. It is sent only from the public site, and only after that yes.
If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, marketing tags do not load, even if you press Accept all. That opt-out covers LinkedIn, Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Advertising, and the SuperHired event. You can also press Reject all, turn Marketing off in Cookie settings, or use Opt out of sale or sharing on the privacy page. The footer link “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” opts out in one click and opens that section.
No other marketing tag runs.
How to change or withdraw
Open Cookie settings in the footer, or the same control on this page and on Privacy. Turn Analytics or Marketing off and press Save choices. You can also press Reject all on the notice the first time it appears. Withdrawing consent stops those scripts on the next load and clears the cookies this browser can delete.
How long it stays
The privacy choice (la.consent) and a Do Not Sell opt-out (la.opt-out) stay in local storage on this device until you change them, clear site storage from Cookie settings, or clear this site's data in the browser. They are not sent to us. How long Google or Microsoft keep analytics data, if you allowed them, follows their own policies. We do not set a separate retention period for those services. Meta, Google Ads, LinkedIn, and Microsoft Advertising set their own cookie lifetimes. Those periods are in the table above and in the vendor policies linked there. Withdrawing Marketing consent stops new hits from this site. It does not erase a cookie the vendor already stored.
Claim and takedown mail
Claim and takedown open a draft in your mail app. This site does not send that email and does not store what you write. Nothing is sent until you send the draft yourself.
The draft is addressed to claims@mail.listedagencies.com. We do not receive it, and we do not keep a copy, unless you send it from your mail app.
Questions
Privacy questions go to claims@mail.listedagencies.com. That is the claims inbox. We do not publish a separate postal address on this site.
