Cookies are small text files that a website or online service places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit or use it. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences and settings, and collect information about how you interact with the site.
Similar technologies serve analogous purposes and are covered by this policy: local storage and session storage (which store data in your browser), web beacons (small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that signal to a server when they are viewed), and tracking pixels (single-pixel images used to measure reach and engagement).
Cookies are widely used by websites and online services. They play an important role in making the web work efficiently and in providing useful features and information to visitors and users. This Cookie Policy explains how Paragex uses cookies and similar technologies on paragex.com and within the Paragex Service platform.
We classify the cookies we use into four categories based on their purpose and the basis on which they are set.
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the basic functionality of our website and Service to work. They enable features like session management, authentication, and security controls. Without these cookies, services you have requested - such as logging in to your account or accessing a secure page - cannot be provided.
Strictly necessary cookies are set on a legitimate interest basis (or, in some jurisdictions, on the basis that they are technically necessary) and do not require your consent. Disabling them would prevent the website and Service from functioning correctly.
Cookies in this category include:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your authenticated session in the Service platform | Session (deleted when browser is closed) |
| csrf_token | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks on form submissions | Session |
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences so you are not shown the consent banner on every visit | 12 months |
| auth_token | Maintains authentication state across service requests without requiring re-login on each page | 24 hours |
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website and Service. They collect information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on pages, how visitors navigate between pages, and whether visitors encounter errors. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the website and Service experience.
Analytics cookies are set with your consent. If you decline analytics cookies, we will still collect basic aggregate server-side analytics from access logs (not personally identifiable), but we will not set client-side analytics tracking cookies.
Cookies in this category include:
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for traffic analysis | 2 years |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for daily analytics | 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics | Throttles request rate to Google Analytics servers | 1 minute |
We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses before transmission and to disable data sharing with Google for product improvement purposes. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website and Service. They remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience, such as your display preferences, selected language or region, and the state of feature toggles you have set within the Service.
Functional cookies are set with your consent. If you decline functional cookies, you may still access the website and Service, but some personalization features may not work as expected and you may need to re-set preferences on each visit.
Cookies in this category include:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ui_preferences | Stores your Service interface preferences (panel layout, display density, default report format) | 12 months |
| regulatory_filters | Remembers your selected regulatory framework filters in the monitoring dashboard | 30 days |
| sidebar_state | Remembers whether you have expanded or collapsed the navigation sidebar | Session |
Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and enable us (and our advertising partners) to show you relevant advertisements and content. We use marketing cookies on our public website (not within the authenticated Service platform) to understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to reach potential customers who have visited paragex.com.
Marketing cookies are set only with your explicit consent. If you decline marketing cookies, you will still see advertisements if you encounter Paragex advertising, but those advertisements will not be personalized based on your browsing behavior.
Cookies in this category include:
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| li_fat_id | LinkedIn conversion tracking and retargeting for professional audiences | 30 days | |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Tracks conversions from Google Ads campaigns | 90 days |
| hubspotutk | HubSpot | Identifies visitors across HubSpot-powered marketing assets for CRM attribution | 13 months |
When you first visit paragex.com or access the Service for the first time, you will see a cookie consent banner that explains the categories of cookies we use and asks for your consent to set analytics, functional, and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent, as they are required for the service to function.
You can choose to accept all cookies, decline all non-essential cookies, or select specific cookie categories. Your choice is recorded in the cookie_consent cookie and respected for 12 months. After 12 months, you will be asked for consent again.
Your consent is voluntary, and declining non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing the website or using the Service. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred based on consent before its withdrawal.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time in the following ways:
Through our consent interface: Click "Manage Cookies" in the footer of any page on paragex.com to review and change your cookie preferences. This opens the cookie consent panel where you can enable or disable individual cookie categories.
Through your browser settings: All major browsers allow you to manage cookies through the browser settings. You can typically view and delete cookies that are already stored, block cookies from specific sites, and configure your browser to block all cookies or all third-party cookies. Note that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, will prevent the Service from working correctly.
Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies:
For Google Analytics specifically: Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across any website that uses Google Analytics.
For LinkedIn advertising: Opt out of LinkedIn interest-based advertising through your LinkedIn account settings or through the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info.
Some cookies on paragex.com are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies. The third parties that set cookies on our website include Google (Analytics and Ads), LinkedIn, and HubSpot, as described in the cookie tables above.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties for information about how they collect, use, and protect information collected through their cookies. Links to relevant policies:
We review our third-party cookie use periodically and update this policy when we add, change, or remove third-party tracking technologies.
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that communicates your preference not to be tracked across websites. There is no consistent industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Currently, Paragex does not change its cookie-setting behavior in response to DNT signals. We encourage you to use the cookie consent interface or browser cookie settings described in Section 4 to manage your preferences directly.
We review this Cookie Policy periodically and update it to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in legal requirements, or the addition of new third-party services to our website. Material changes will be communicated through the cookie consent banner or by email notification to account holders. The "last updated" date at the top of this policy reflects the date of the most recent revision.
When we make changes that affect cookies previously set with your consent, we will request your consent again the next time you visit the website.
