What runs on this site
Google Analytics 4. This tells us how people use the site. It collects the pages you view, how long you stay, roughly where you are by city, and what device and browser you use. It gives your browser a random ID. It does not tell us your name. This data goes to Google.
Google Ads conversion tag (AW-787412499). This tells us when a visit turns into a booked call or a form submission. It also lets us show you ads for Defender IT after you leave. That is called remarketing. It collects the pages you view and the actions you take here. This data goes to Google.
LinkedIn Insight Tag (partner ID 5457500). This tells us when a visit turns into a lead, and it lets us show you Defender IT ads on LinkedIn. LinkedIn may recognize you if you are signed in as a member. LinkedIn reports results to us in groups, not as a named list. This data goes to LinkedIn.
HubSpot. HubSpot is our customer records system. When you send a form on this site, or book a meeting through the scheduler on our contact page, your details go to HubSpot so we can reply and keep a record. If a HubSpot cookie is already in your browser, our forms may read it to connect your message to your earlier visits. This data goes to HubSpot.
RB2B. This tells us which companies are visiting the site, and often which person, even if you never fill in a form. It matches your visit at both the person level and the company level. It uses cookies, device identifiers, and your IP address to do that. This data goes to RB2B.
