In short: we use a few cookies that the site needs to work. Analytics and marketing cookies are off until you accept them, and you can reject them as easily as you accept them. You can change your mind at any time from "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.
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 how the site is used. We also use similar technologies, such as small scripts that measure visits, and your browser's own storage; this policy covers them too.
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies. "Accept" and "Reject" are equally easy. Until you choose, only the strictly necessary cookies are used. To change your choice later, use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. If we change this policy, we ask you again.
We use Google Consent Mode, so Google's tools respect your choice. No analytics or marketing tag runs on your personal tracker page or in the staff admin area.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary (always on)
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
cg_consent | Career Gliders | Remembers your choice: the categories you accepted, the version of this policy, and when you chose | 6 months |
cg_t_… | Career Gliders | Lets this browser open your private pathway tracker after you have confirmed it is you; its name is a code derived from your tracker link | 180 days |
cg_admin | Career Gliders | Keeps Career Gliders staff signed in to the admin area; used only on /admin | 12 hours |
cg_preview | Career Gliders | Lets our team preview the site before it launches | 30 days |
| Security check | Cloudflare Turnstile | Confirms a form is sent by a person, not a bot; used only on forms | The session |
Analytics (only if you accept)
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Counts visits and shows which pages are useful | 2 years |
_clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Shows how pages are used, with everything typed into forms masked | 1 year; 1 day |
CLID, MUID | Microsoft (for Clarity) | Recognise the same browser across visits for Clarity | 1 year |
Marketing (only if you accept)
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp, _fbc | Meta Pixel | Measure whether our Facebook and Instagram adverts lead to enquiries | 90 days |
If you accept marketing:
- When you verify your WhatsApp code, Meta receives an anonymous "Lead" event. It does not include your name, phone number or email address.
- Google signals are turned on in Google Analytics. For visitors signed in to a Google account, this lets Google use their visits in cross-device reports and for advertising.
If you reject marketing, neither happens.
We will update this list when we add or remove a cookie.
Storage in your browser
The site also keeps a few things in your browser's own storage. They stay on your device and are not sent to us from there.
| What | Where | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your pathway answers, while you fill them in | Session storage | Until you close the tab |
| Your conversation with the assistant | Session storage | Until you close the tab |
| The currency you chose for prices | Local storage | Until you change it or clear your browser data |
