This Cookie Policy explains how TALSMART ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit talsmart.com and other TALSMART websites, including our learning platform and assessment tools. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect and use personal information.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and support advertising. Alongside cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. These work in a similar way and are covered by this policy.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a few different reasons: to keep our website running smoothly and securely, to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it, to remember choices you have made, and to show you relevant content and advertising both on our site and elsewhere. Some cookies are placed by us directly, and others are placed by third party services we work with, which are described further below.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They allow you to navigate the site and use features such as secure areas and forms. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work as intended. Because they are essential, these cookies cannot be switched off through our cookie settings.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter errors. We use this information to improve how the site works and to understand which content is most useful. We currently use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for this purpose.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as information you have already entered into a form, so you do not have to re enter it. They may also support enhanced features, such as embedded videos or chat tools.
Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to make the advertising you see more relevant to you and your interests. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and limit how many times you see a particular ad. We currently work with Google Ads, the Meta Pixel on Facebook and Instagram, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, and HubSpot for these purposes.
Third Party Services
The following third party services may set cookies when you visit our site. Each of these companies has its own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review for more detail on how they handle your information.
- Google provides Analytics, Ads, and Tag Manager, which we use for site analytics and advertising. You can read Google's policy at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
- Meta provides the Meta Pixel, used for advertising on Facebook and Instagram. You can read Meta's policy at facebook.com/policies/cookies.
- LinkedIn provides the LinkedIn Insight Tag, used for advertising and campaign reporting. You can read LinkedIn's policy at linkedin.com/legal/cookie policy.
- HubSpot supports our forms, CRM, and marketing automation. You can read HubSpot's policy at legal.hubspot.com/cookie policy.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Some cookies are session cookies, which are temporary and are deleted once you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them yourself. How long a cookie stays depends on its purpose. Advertising cookies often remain active for up to a couple of years, while many functional cookies expire much sooner.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have a number of ways to control or limit how cookies are used.
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you see what cookies you have and delete them individually, block third party cookies, block cookies from particular sites, block all cookies, or delete all cookies whenever you close your browser.
- Advertising preferences: You can manage how Google personalizes ads at adssettings.google.com, manage your ad preferences on Meta platforms through your account settings, and manage LinkedIn's advertising preferences through your LinkedIn account settings.
