Cookie policy

Last updated: October 6, 2026

This policy explains how DevEdge Solutions uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) on this website, and how you control them. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the website footer.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work; others help us understand usage or measure advertising. We group them into three categories and only use analytics and marketing cookies if you accept them.

Our statistics do not use cookies

The website counts visits and page views itself, in aggregate, without cookies and without storing your IP address. This lets us see which pages are useful while respecting your privacy, even if you decline all optional cookies.

Essential (always on)

Needed for security, spam protection and core features. They cannot be switched off.

• dv_consent (local storage, this site): remembers your cookie choice. Kept until you change it or clear your browser.
• Cloudflare (__cf_bm, cf_clearance): protects the site from bots and attacks. Up to 30 minutes / up to 1 year.
• Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA (_GRECAPTCHA): check that form submissions come from people, not bots. Session to 6 months.
• Chat session (local storage, this site): keeps your conversation with the AI assistant while you browse. Cleared when you reset the chat.

Analytics (only with consent)

Help us understand how the website is used so we can improve it.

• Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*): distinguishes visitors and sessions. Up to 2 years.
• Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk, CLID): heatmaps and session insights. Up to 1 year.
• Hotjar (_hjSessionUser_*, _hjSession_*): heatmaps and feedback. Up to 1 year.

Marketing (only with consent)

Measure the results of our advertising and, where enabled, show relevant ads on other platforms.

• Google Ads (_gcl_au, IDE): conversion measurement. Up to 13 months.
• Meta (_fbp, _fbc): Facebook and Instagram advertising. Up to 3 months.
• LinkedIn Insight Tag (li_sugr, bcookie, lidc, UserMatchHistory): LinkedIn advertising. Up to 1 year.
• TikTok (_ttp): TikTok advertising. Up to 13 months.
• Pinterest (_pin_unauth, _epik): Pinterest advertising. Up to 1 year.
• X (personalization_id, muc_ads): X advertising. Up to 2 years.

We only load the tools we actually use, so you may not see all of these. Third-party cookies are controlled by those providers under their own privacy policies.

Google Consent Mode

Google tags start in a "denied" state that does not store cookies. If you accept analytics or marketing cookies, they switch to the matching "granted" state.

Managing cookies

• Use Cookie settings in the footer to accept, reject or customise categories at any time. If you withdraw consent, the page reloads so optional tools stop running.
• You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop forms or security checks from working.
• We treat Global Privacy Control signals as a request to opt out of marketing cookies where the law requires it.

Changes and contact

When we add new tools we update this policy and ask for your consent again. Questions? Email hello@devedgesolutions.com. See also our Privacy policy.
