1. What are cookies
A “cookie” is a small text file that a website places on your device. Cookies let a site remember you across pages or visits. “Similar technologies” include local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, fingerprinting beacons, and tracking pixels. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all of them.
Cookies can be first-party (set by GLACIS on a domain we control) or third-party (set by a service provider whose code runs on our pages). They can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a defined period).
2. Why we use them
We use cookies for four things: keeping the site secure, remembering your preferences, measuring how people find and use the site, and measuring the effectiveness of our B2B marketing. For marketing measurement, some of the cookies in Section 4 below transmit browsing signals to advertising platforms (LinkedIn, StackAdapt, Leadfeeder/Dealfront); under California’s CPRA this is a “share” of personal information. You can opt out at any time — via the consent banner on first visit, the “Do Not Sell or Share” link in the footer, or by sending a Global Privacy Control signal, which we honor automatically. We do not use cookies for profiling of the kind that would result in legally significant decisions about you.
3. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary. Required for core functionality: load balancing, security (bot-challenge tokens, CSRF protection), cookie-consent state. These cannot be disabled; they do not require consent under EU law.
- Performance & analytics. Help us understand aggregate usage (page views, time on page, navigation path) so we can improve content. Set only where required consent has been obtained (EU/UK/EEA/Switzerland) or the user has not exercised an opt-out (US).
- Functional. Remember preferences (language, dark mode, cookie consent) to give you a more personal experience across visits.
- Marketing. Attribute a signup or demo-request to the campaign or content that led to it. We do not set third-party advertising cookies for cross-site tracking.
4. Specific cookies we set
The list below reflects the cookies and storage items currently in use on glacis.io. A live inventory is maintained via the cookie-preferences widget (accessible from the footer) and updated when integrations change.

If the cookie inventory changes, the updated list will appear here and in the cookie-preferences widget. Our Data Processing Agreement with each analytics or marketing provider is referenced in our Subprocessor list at trust.glacis.io.
5. Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are placed by service providers running on our pages for the purposes described in Section 4. These providers have their own privacy notices:
- Cloudflare — cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
- Google Analytics — policies.google.com/privacy
- HubSpot — legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy
- Apollo.io — apollo.io/privacy-policy
- Ahrefs — ahrefs.com/privacy
- LinkedIn Insight — linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
- StackAdapt — stackadapt.com/privacy
- Leadfeeder / Dealfront — dealfront.com/privacy
We do not use ad-tracking pixels from Google Ads or Meta (Facebook/Instagram). LinkedIn Insight and StackAdapt pixels are present for B2B campaign measurement; they are disabled automatically when Global Privacy Control is detected and when the user declines marketing cookies in the preferences widget.
6. How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent-cookie durations are listed in the table above. Local-storage items remain until you clear them via your browser or via the cookie-preferences widget.
7. How to control cookies
7.1 Cookie-preferences widget
The cookie-preferences widget in the footer lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose categories individually. Your choice is recorded in the glacis-consent cookie and respected on subsequent visits. You can re-open the widget at any time to change your preferences.
7.2 Browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Instructions for common browsers:
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Services from working.
7.3 Analytics opt-out
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. HubSpot tracking can be suppressed via the cookie-preferences widget. Ahrefs and Apollo tracking is controlled via the widget and browser do-not-track signals.
8. DNT and Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of the “sale” and “share” of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA and equivalent state laws. When we detect the GPC header from your browser, marketing and non-essential analytics cookies are not set for that session, regardless of any prior consent stored in the glacis-consent cookie.
We recognize but do not rely on the legacy Do Not Track (DNT) header, because it lacks a consistent specification; the GPC signal and our cookie-preferences widget together provide an effective opt-out.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when cookies, providers, or categories change. Material changes are highlighted via the “Effective” date at the top. The live cookie table always reflects the current state of cookies set on the site.
