Usage and analytics data: pages visited, time spent on the site, referring pages, device and browser type, and general location (city/country level), collected through our website analytics tool.
Advertising and retargeting data: if you arrive at our site from an ad campaign or interact with our ads, cookies or similar technologies (such as Meta Pixel, Google Ads, or LinkedIn Insight Tag) may collect data about your visit to help us measure and improve our advertising.
