Cookie Policy

You can review or change your cookie choices at any time.

This Cookie Policy explains how Peridot Partners ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites and microsites. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

We only set strictly necessary cookies without asking. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set if you allow them, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the controls described below.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Peridot Partners) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. analytics, advertising and interactive content).

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons:

  • To make our sites work properly (essential cookies)
  • To understand how visitors use our sites so we can improve them (analytics cookies)
  • To remember your preferences and provide a personalised experience (functional cookies)
  • To measure the effectiveness of our marketing and recruitment campaigns (marketing cookies)

Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable basic functions like page navigation, secure form submissions, and access to protected areas of the site. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. You cannot disable them through our cookie banner. They include the cc_consent cookie, which remembers your cookie choices for 12 months.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages. The information is aggregated and anonymous and is used to improve how our website works. We rely on your consent to set these cookies.

Examples of analytics providers we use:

  • Google Analytics
  • Microsoft Clarity (heatmaps and recordings of how pages are used)

These tools are loaded through Google Tag Manager, which only loads once you have allowed analytics or marketing cookies. We use Google Consent Mode so that Google tools follow the choices you make.

Functional cookies

We do not currently use functional cookies beyond the strictly necessary ones. If we add any, they will be listed here and will only be set with your consent.

Marketing and advertising cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of our recruitment campaigns. They may be set by our marketing and advertising partners (for example LinkedIn and HubSpot) and may track your browsing across other websites. We rely on your consent to set these cookies.

Third-party cookies

Some pages on our website include content embedded from third parties (for example videos from YouTube/Vimeo, LinkedIn job posts, social-media widgets). These third parties may set their own cookies when you view their content. We do not control the setting of these cookies; please check the relevant third party's website for more information about the cookies they use.

How long do cookies stay on my device?

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:

  • Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period specified in the cookie itself (typically a few days up to two years), or until you delete them manually.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:

  • Cookie banner: when you first visit our website, a banner lets you accept all optional cookies, reject them all, or choose by category (analytics, marketing). Nothing optional is set before you choose. We ask again after 12 months, or sooner if this policy changes.
  • Manage cookies: you can change or withdraw your choice at any time with the "Manage cookies" link in the website footer or the Manage cookie preferences button on this page. When you withdraw consent, we delete the cookies these tools set on our domain and reload the page so they stop running.
  • Browser settings: most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can find current information about blocking and deleting cookies on the website of the browser you use.
  • Opt-out links: for analytics and advertising cookies, you can often opt out directly with the third-party provider (e.g. via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on).

Please note that if you reject cookies, you may still use our website, though some features may not function as intended.

Do not track signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting which signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. We currently do not respond to DNT signals as no consistent industry standard for interpreting them has been adopted. We respect your cookie preferences expressed through our cookie banner and your browser settings.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to revisit this page regularly to stay informed.
