Cookie policy
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies on the DevOps TechLab website, what each one is for, how long it lasts, and how you can accept, reject or change your choice. It forms part of our Privacy Policy (section 10).
Last updated 10 October 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as browser storage, work the same way. Some are needed for the website to work. Others help us understand how the website is used or measure our advertising, and we use those only if you agree.
Cookies we use
Analytics and marketing tools are loaded through Google Tag Manager only after you accept them in our cookie banner. Until then they stay off.
| Category | Tools and cookies | Purpose | Duration and your choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Cookie consent (CookieYes: cookieyes-consent); theme choice; form operation and security; staff sign-in to the DTL Console | Remembering your cookie and theme choices; keeping forms and our staff console working and secure | Up to 1 year (consent) or session. Always active, because the website needs them |
| Visit record (form script) | First-party browser storage set by our form script | Remembering your landing page, referring site, campaign tags and pages viewed, so they can be sent with a form you submit | Held only in your browser for 90 days and sent only if you submit a form. You can clear it in your browser settings |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_<ID>); Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk, CLID, MUID) | Counting visits and sessions, measuring page use and enquiries, and heatmaps and session recordings that show how pages are used | Up to 2 years (Google Analytics) and 1 day to 1 year (Clarity). Off until you consent |
| Marketing | Google Ads (_gcl_au); LinkedIn Insight Tag (bcookie, li_sugr, lidc, UserMatchHistory); Meta Pixel (_fbp), only while we run Meta ads | Measuring the results of our advertising and showing our ads to people who have visited the website | 90 days (Google Ads, Meta) and up to 1 year (LinkedIn). Off until you consent |
Your choices
When you first visit, the banner lets you accept, reject or customise analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the website footer, or with this button:
Our cookie consent provider, CookieYes, records your choice with a timestamp and an anonymised IP address so that we can show what you agreed to. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; if you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the website may not work.
Session recordings
Microsoft Clarity masks what you type into forms, so session recordings do not show the personal details you enter.
Changes to this policy
Cookie names and durations are set by the providers and may change. The cookie settings panel lists the cookies currently in use on the website. When we add or remove a tool, we update this page and the Privacy Policy and change the date above.
