This policy explains how Cirrus Insight uses cookies on www.cirrusinsight.com, what information they collect, who else can read them, and how you can control them.
This policy applies to our public website. It does not describe how we handle data inside the Cirrus Insight application, or any collection that happens without cookies — both are covered in our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return, the browser sends it back, which lets the site recognise your session, remember a preference, or count a visit.
A first-party cookie is set by the site you are visiting. A third-party cookie is set by a different company whose code runs on the page — an analytics provider, for example. Third parties can generally read their own cookies across any site where their code appears, which is why we name them in section 3.
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
2. The categories we use
We group cookies by what they are for. Strictly necessary cookies are always set, because the site cannot work without them. Every other category is set only if you accept cookies in our cookie banner.
| Category | When it is set | What it does |
|---|
| Strictly necessary | Always |
Required for the site to work — page routing, security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choice, and keeping you logged in where applicable. These are exempt from consent because the service cannot be provided without them. Your browser can still block them. |
| Analytics | Only if you accept |
Help us understand how the site is used — which pages are visited, how people arrive, and where they run into trouble — so we can improve it. We use this in aggregate. |
| Functionality | Only if you accept |
Remember choices you have made, such as a language or region preference, so you do not have to set them again. |
| Advertising and marketing | Only if you accept |
Measure the performance of our marketing and show relevant advertising on other sites. Some of these involve third parties reading information across different websites. |
3. Third parties that set cookies
These companies set or read cookies when you use our website. Each is an independent controller of the data it collects through its own cookies, and its own privacy notice governs what it does with that data.
- HubSpot — our website and marketing platform. Analytics and session handling.
- Google — Tag Manager, Analytics and Google Ads. Tag delivery, website measurement, advertising conversion measurement and remarketing.
- LinkedIn — the LinkedIn Insight Tag. Advertising conversion measurement and audiences for advertising on LinkedIn.
We do not sell personal information. Some advertising and analytics activity may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law, and you can opt out — see section 4.
4. Your choices
On this site. When you first visit, a cookie banner asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice applies to all non-essential categories together. You can change it at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of our website, which reopens the banner.
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and does not affect anything that happened before you withdrew it.
Opting out of sale or sharing. On this website, any sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising happens through the advertising cookies described above. If you are a California resident and want to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, decline non-essential cookies: use the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer of our website, which reopens the cookie banner. You can also email privacy@cirrusinsight.com.
In your browser. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, and most offer a setting to block third-party cookies specifically. These controls apply across every site you visit, not just ours. You will normally find them under Settings, then Privacy or Site permissions. Blocking cookies at the browser level may stop parts of this site from working.
With the third parties directly. Several of the companies in section 3 offer their own opt-out mechanisms, listed on their privacy notices.
5. What happens if you decline
The site will still work. Declining non-essential cookies means:
- We will not measure your visit in our analytics, so it will not inform how we improve the site.
- Preferences you set may not persist between visits, so you may need to set them again.
- We will not measure whether an advertisement led you here, and advertising you see elsewhere will be less relevant to you rather than absent.
- Strictly necessary cookies will still be set, because the site cannot function without them.
Declining has no effect on your Cirrus Insight account, your access to the product, or the support you receive.
6. Browser signals and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers and extensions can send an automated signal telling websites you do not want your personal information sold or shared. The most widely supported is Global Privacy Control (GPC).
We are working to recognise GPC signals automatically. Until then, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by declining non-essential cookies in our cookie banner, or by emailing privacy@cirrusinsight.com.
We do not currently respond to the older "Do Not Track" browser setting, which has no agreed standard for how sites should interpret it.
7. International transfers
Cirrus Insight is based in the United States, and information collected through the cookies described here is processed there. Several of the third parties in section 3 operate globally and may process information in other countries.
Where information about visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland is transferred to the United States, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, together with additional technical and organisational measures. Our Privacy Policy describes this in full.
8. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when we add, remove or change the cookies we use.
Where a change materially affects what we collect or who can read it, we will ask for your consent again rather than relying on consent you gave for something different.
Questions about this policy, or about how we use cookies, can go to privacy@cirrusinsight.com.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
