You can also open these settings from the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page.
What cookies are

Google Analytics before you consent
Crowd Connected uses Google Consent Mode. Before you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics stores nothing on your device and reads nothing from it. It receives a cookieless signal that a page was viewed, without any identifier that could recognise you on a later visit. Google uses these signals to produce aggregate, modelled visit counts. Once you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics works normally.
HubSpot and LinkedIn scripts do not load at all until you accept the relevant category.
Changing or withdrawing consent
Use Change cookie settings above, or the Cookie settings link in the footer. If you switch a category off, Crowd Connected deletes that category’s cookies from crowdconnected.com and reloads the page. Cookies set on other domains, such as linkedin.com, can be removed in your browser settings.
We ask for your choice again after 12 months, or sooner if we add a new type of cookie.
