Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 8, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how SkillsDB Inc. ("SkillsDB", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our marketing website https://skillsdb.com (the "Site"). It outlines the types of cookies we may use, how and why we may use them, your rights, and how you can manage your preferences.

This policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and is subject to our Terms of Service.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes such as:

• Enabling essential site functions
• Securing user sessions
• Remembering your preferences
• Measuring performance and engagement

In addition to traditional browser cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as server-side event tracking to better understand how users interact with our website in a privacy-conscious way.

What Types of Cookies We May Use

We categorize cookies as follows:

• Essential – Required for core site functionality, and cannot be disabled
• Analytics – Help us improve the site through usage insights
• Marketing – Used for targeted ads and retargeting, including conversions

Tools We May Use

We may utilize the following tools to help us operate and improve the Site:

• PostHog – Session and product analytics, supporting both cookie-based and server-side cookie-less tracking
• c15t – Consent banner delivery and consent recordkeeping (logs choices, banner version, and region for compliance)
• RB2B – Visitor and company attribution
• Google Tag Manager – Tag and script deployment manager
• Google Ads – Personalized ads and conversion tracking using marketing cookies
• LinkedIn Insight Tag – Tracks visits and conversions for ad targeting
• Meta Pixel – Tracks site behavior to improve Facebook/Instagram ads

Analytics data is used for internal purposes and is not sold for monetary consideration. However, our use of advertising and measurement cookies (such as Google Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Meta Pixel, and RB2B) involves sharing limited online identifiers with those platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"), and similar laws in other U.S. states, this activity is treated as "sharing" — see "Your Right to Opt Out of Sharing" below for how to opt out.

Cookie Inventory

The table below lists the categories of cookies and similar technologies typically set on our marketing website. Specific cookie names and durations are set by the underlying providers and may change over time as those providers update their services.

This list is reviewed regularly. If you would like the most up-to-date inventory or have a specific cookie question, contact support@skillsdb.com.

Consent and Regional Compliance

We adapt our cookie usage and banners to comply with regional privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR and PECR, and Quebec Law 25. Where consent is required, "Reject" is presented with the same prominence and ease as "Accept" — rejecting non-essential cookies is a single click.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom & Quebec:

• Non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing) require your prior opt-in consent
• PostHog runs in cookie-less server mode by default
• A cookie banner appears with [Ok] and [Reject] options of equal prominence
• If you select [Ok], PostHog switches to cookie-based tracking and analytics/marketing tools (including RB2B) are enabled
• If you select [Reject], all non-essential cookie and cookie-less analytics tracking is disabled
• You can update your preferences anytime via "Cookie Preferences" in our Privacy Policy

Visitors Outside the EEA, UK & Quebec:

• Analytics cookies are enabled by default, consistent with applicable law
• A banner appears with an [OK] button confirming cookie usage
• You can manage your preferences via the "Cookie Preferences" link in our Privacy Policy:
  • Selecting [Ok] re-enables analytics cookies
  • Selecting [Reject] disables analytics and deletes cookies

Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track

We honor opt-out preference signals sent by your browser, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When a GPC signal is detected, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the "sale" and "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising on that browser and device. Because there is no single industry standard for "Do Not Track" (DNT) headers, we do not respond to DNT signals separately, but our GPC support and our cookie banner provide equivalent or stronger controls.

Your Right to Opt Out of Sharing (U.S.)

Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising at any time by:

• Clicking Cookie Preferences in our Privacy Policy and selecting [Reject]
• Enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser
• Emailing support@skillsdb.com

Cookie Banner Variants

Depending on your location, you may see one of the following banners:

Consent Records

To ensure full compliance with regional data protection laws, we use c15t to:

• Display regional banners
• Maintain logs of banner text, consent action (Ok/Reject), user ID (if applicable), and timestamp

You may withdraw or update your consent at any time, and previously placed analytics cookies will be automatically deleted when consent is withdrawn.

Managing Your Preferences

You can manage or change your cookie preferences by:

• Selecting "Cookie Preferences" in the Privacy Policy
• Enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser
• Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Major browsers provide instructions here:
  • Google Chrome
  • Apple Safari
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge

⚠️ Disabling Essential Cookies may impact core website functionality

Your Rights (GDPR & Global Privacy)

If you reside in the EU, UK, Quebec, or other regions with strong data protection laws, you may:

• Request access to your personal data
• Correct or delete inaccurate data
• Withdraw consent or restrict processing
• Submit a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR)

To submit a DSAR or learn more about how we handle personal data, please visit our Trust Center or email us at support@skillsdb.com.
