Cookie Policy

1. Who we are

WebRefer Data Ltd (“WebRefer,” “we,” “us”) operates webrefer.net, a marketing and delivery site for custom web data research, domain intelligence, and technology signal analysis. This Cookie Policy should be read with our Privacy Policy, which explains broader processing of personal data when you request proposals or engage our services.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use local storage to remember your cookie consent decision and may use session storage for short-lived UI state. Together these technologies help secure forms, maintain navigation context across long methodology pages, and—where permitted—measure aggregated interest in pricing, use cases, and sample deliverables.

3. Google Tag Manager

Our site loads Google Tag Manager (GTM). GTM may deploy tags for analytics or marketing only as configured and, where required, after you grant consent through our banner. GTM itself primarily issues technical cookies related to tag delivery. For details about Google’s processing, see Google’s cookie documentation and our Privacy Policy.

4. Purposes

We use cookies to: (a) deliver pages reliably and protect against basic automated abuse; (b) remember accessibility or language preferences when you enable them; (c) store evidence of consent; (d) measure aggregated traffic to prioritize content on custom web analysis, domain intelligence, and ML dataset pages; and (e) support optional integrations such as embedded scheduling or document previews when you interact with them.

5. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary. Required for security, load distribution, session continuity on multi-step contact flows, and remembering that you dismissed or answered the cookie banner.

Analytics (optional). Collects pseudonymous or aggregated data about page views, referral sources, device type, and coarse geography derived from IP to improve information architecture.

Functional. Remembers UI choices such as expanded navigation groups during a session.

Marketing (optional). Only deployed if we configure tags for measured campaigns; such tags will be disclosed in the banner when active.

6. Third-party cookies

Embedded videos, maps, chat widgets, or partner-hosted PDF previews may set third-party cookies when loaded. Those providers are independent controllers or processors with their own notices.

7. Legal bases and consent

For visitors in the UK, EEA, and similar jurisdictions, we rely on consent for non-essential cookies where required. Strictly necessary cookies may be used under exemptions consistent with applicable ePrivacy implementation and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. You may withdraw consent by clearing webrefer.net storage and revisiting the site.

8. Retention

Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies typically expire within twelve months unless you delete them earlier. Analytics retention windows follow vendor defaults where used.

9. Your choices

Use our consent banner and your browser’s controls to block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect form submissions or repeated prompts. Industry opt-out tools for interest-based advertising apply primarily to ad networks.

10. International transfers

If analytics or infrastructure providers process data outside the UK/EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Children

webrefer.net is intended for business audiences. We do not knowingly use cookies to build marketing profiles of children.

12. Updates

We will revise this policy when our technologies or legal obligations change. The date in the page header reflects the latest substantive update.
