This policy explains how the Edge7 Networks website uses cookies and similar technologies. We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites.
Before publishing: confirm the cookie names and durations below against the live site once the analytics and Leadfeeder tags are configured with real IDs. Cookie durations set by third parties can change. This draft is not legal advice and should be reviewed before it goes live.
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device to store information. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways. Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting, which are called first-party cookies, or by another service that the site uses, which are called third-party cookies. They can last only for your visit, which are called session cookies, or remain for a set period, which are called persistent cookies.
We use cookies and similar technologies for three purposes. First, to run the website securely and reliably. Second, with your consent, to understand how the site is used through analytics, so we can improve it. Third, with your consent, to identify the organisations visiting our site so that our team can follow up in a relevant way. We do not set any analytics or marketing cookies until you allow them through the banner, and you can change your choice at any time.
Cookies fall into the categories below. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. Any other category is only used with your consent.
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the website secure and working, for example protecting against malicious traffic and balancing load. Set by our hosting and security provider. | No |
| Functional | Remember choices you make so a feature works as expected, for example when you interact with an embedded booking tool. | Yes |
| Analytics | Understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics for this. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless. | Yes |
| Marketing | Identify the organisations visiting our site so our team can follow up relevantly. We use Leadfeeder (Dealfront) for this. | Yes |
The specific non-essential cookies we use are set out below. These are only placed after you consent. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not set a cookie, so it is not listed here.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for the property | 2 years | Analytics |
| _lfa | Leadfeeder / Dealfront | Recognises a returning visitor to help identify the visiting organisation | 2 years | Marketing |
Cookie names and durations set by third parties can change. Your browser's cookie inspector is the most accurate source for what is on your device at any moment, and we keep this policy under review.
Some features rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies or receive limited technical data when you use them:
These services are controlled by the providers, not by us, and their own privacy and cookie policies apply to the data they collect.
Under the EU ePrivacy rules, in Ireland the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011), and under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we only place cookies that are not strictly necessary with your consent. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt because the site cannot work properly without them.
When you first visit, our banner lets you accept all cookies, accept only what is strictly necessary, or set your own preferences by category. No analytics or marketing cookies are set until you allow them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer. If you turn a category off, we stop using those cookies and clear the ones already set.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies, and warn you before new ones are set. The help pages for the major browsers explain how:
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the website work.
We may update this policy to reflect changes to the site or the law. When we do, we will change the date at the top of the page.
For questions about how we use cookies, or about your data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy or get in touch.
