1. About This Notice
This notice explains which cookies and similar technologies the Postremo IT website uses, what they do, and how you can control them.
It covers our website at postremoit.com. Our careers site and our website for the United Arab Emirates have their own notices. Our Privacy Notice explains how we use any personal data collected through these technologies, and your rights.
In this notice, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Postremo IT Limited, registered in England and Wales, company number 09568468. You can contact us about this notice at privacy@postremoit.com.
2. What These Technologies Are
- Cookie
- A small file that a website stores in your browser. A first-party cookie is set by the website you are visiting. A third-party cookie is set by another organisation whose service the website uses.
- Tag or pixel
- A small piece of code on a page that sends information about your visit to a service, and may set cookies of its own.
- Browser storage
- A way for a website to keep small pieces of information in your own browser. It is not sent to anyone unless a script reads it and sends it.
- Session and persistent
- A session cookie is deleted when you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it.
The law treats all of these in the same way. We may use those that are strictly necessary, and a small number of others the law exempts, without asking. Everything else needs your consent first.
3. Your Choices
When you first visit, a banner asks what you want to allow. Nothing except the necessary technologies in section 4 is used until you choose.
- Accept and Reject are shown together, with equal prominence.
- “Manage cookies” lets you choose by category. Every optional category starts switched off.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honour it.
- Your choice is remembered for 6 months, after which we ask again.
- You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the foot of every page. It is as easy to withdraw consent as to give it.
| Category | What it is for | Your choice |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Remembering your cookie choice and keeping our forms working properly (sections 4 and 5). | Always on |
| Analytics | Measuring how our website is used and which organisations visit it (section 6). | Off until you agree |
| Advertising | Measuring whether our adverts lead to enquiries (section 7). | Off until you agree |
| Functionality | Not used at present. The category is there so that any feature of this kind added later stays off until you agree. | Off until you agree |
Saying no does not stop you using any part of our website.
4. Necessary Cookies
These record your cookie choice and protect the services that provide our cookie banner and forms. They are set without asking because the website cannot honour your choice or accept a form without them.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| __hs_cookie_cat_pref | HubSpot | Records which categories you accepted or rejected. | 6 months |
| __hs_initial_opt_in | HubSpot | Stops the banner reappearing on every page when your browser is in a strict privacy mode. | 7 days |
| __hs_gpc_banner_dismiss | HubSpot | Records that you closed the message confirming your Global Privacy Control signal was applied. | 180 days |
| __cf_bm, __cfuvid, __cfruid | Cloudflare, for HubSpot | Security cookies set by the network that delivers the banner and receives our forms. They tell people from automated traffic. | 30 minutes or the session |
5. Browser Storage
Our own pages keep a few small items in your browser’s storage. They are not cookies and hold no personal data. Only your readiness check answers are ever sent to us, and only if you choose to send us an enquiry. Nothing here is sent to anyone else.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| enq-sent | The time you last sent our enquiry form, so that the same enquiry is not sent twice by accident. Stored only when you send the form. | Until you clear it |
| nl-sent | The time you last signed up to our newsletter, for the same reason. Stored only when you sign up. | Until you clear it |
| geo-hint-closed | Remembers that you closed the suggestion to visit our website for the United Arab Emirates, so that it is not shown again. Stored only when you close it. | Until you clear it |
| enq-ready | Your answers to the readiness check on our switching page, so that they can be added to your enquiry if you choose to send one. Stored only when you tick an answer. | Until you close the browser tab |
| nosmooth | Turns off smooth scrolling for the rest of your visit. Stored only if you open one of our pages with ?smooth=off at the end of its address, which we use when testing the website. | Until you close the browser tab |
You can remove these at any time by clearing this website’s stored data in your browser settings.
6. Analytics
These load only if you agree to the Analytics category. They help us understand which pages are useful, how people find us and which organisations are interested in our services.
Before you make a choice, HubSpot’s tracking code may record an anonymous page view. It sets no cookies and does not identify you. The cookies below are set only if you agree.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| __hstc | HubSpot | The main visitor cookie. Holds a random visitor identifier and the times of your first, last and current visits. | 6 months |
| hubspotutk | HubSpot | A random identifier for your browser. If you send us a form, it links your earlier visits to your enquiry. | 6 months |
| __hssc | HubSpot | Keeps track of the current visit and the number of pages viewed in it. | 30 minutes |
| __hssrc | HubSpot | Detects whether you have restarted your browser, to tell one visit from the next. | Session |
| _ga | Google Analytics | A random identifier used to tell one visitor from another. | 2 years |
| _ga_ followed by our property identifier | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit. | 2 years |
| Lead Forensics tracking code | Lead Forensics | Reads the IP address your visit comes from and matches it to the organisation that owns that network, so that we can see which organisations visit and which pages they view. It identifies organisations, not individuals. | No cookie set |
7. Advertising
These load only if you agree to the Advertising category. We use them only to measure whether an advert led to an enquiry.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Records that a visit may lead to an enquiry, so that the enquiry can be counted against our advertising. | 90 days |
| _gcl_aw | Google Ads | Set only if you arrive by clicking one of our Google adverts. Holds the reference of that click. | 90 days |
We use Google’s consent mode. Until you agree to Analytics or Advertising, Google’s tags are held in a denied state and do not set or read cookies.
7.1 Technologies we may add
We may add the LinkedIn Insight Tag and the Meta Pixel to measure the results of advertising on those platforms. If we do, they will load only if you agree to the Advertising category, and this notice will be updated with the cookies they set before they are switched on. They are not in use at present.
8. What We Do Not Use
Our website has no visitor accounts, chat, embedded video players, maps, calendars, payment features or social media sharing buttons. Its fonts, images and video are served from our own website. Links to other websites, such as our social media pages, are plain links: those sites set nothing on your device unless you follow the link, and their own notices then apply.
9. Who Provides These Technologies
| Provider | What we use it for | Where to find out more |
|---|---|---|
| HubSpot | Cookie banner, forms and website analytics. Our account stores its data in the European Union. | HubSpot’s privacy policy, at hubspot.com |
| Website analytics and advertising measurement. | Google’s privacy policy, at policies.google.com | |
| Lead Forensics | Identifying the organisations that visit our website. | Lead Forensics’ privacy policy, at leadforensics.com |
Some of these providers are based outside the UK or can access data from outside it. Our Privacy Notice explains how personal data is protected when that happens.
10. Controlling Cookies in Your Browser
You can also block or delete cookies and browser storage in your browser settings, and most browsers can send a Global Privacy Control signal for you. If you block everything, our website still works, but it cannot remember your cookie choice and will ask again on each visit.
11. Changes to This Notice
We update this notice before we add or remove any of these technologies, and review it at least once a year. This version was last updated on 14 November 2026.
