Third-Party Cookies:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a third-party analysis tool provided by Google Inc., to analyze how the website is being used. DevDays uses this information to improve its services, to analyze trends and the way you navigate our websites. With the Google Analytics cookie, Google can perform statistical reports and analyze and evaluate our services.

- Insightly Marketing: Insightly Marketing uses cookies for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movements around the site and gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded on the site that collects information about users’ engagement on that web page. Pixel tags allow Insightly Marketing to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement.

- LinkedIn Ads: The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of data regarding members’ visits to our websites, including the URL, referrer, IP address, device and browser characteristics (User Agent), and timestamp. The IP addresses are truncated or (when used for reaching members across devices) hashed, and members’ direct identifiers are removed within seven days in order to make the data pseudonymous. This remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days. LinkedIn does not share personal data with us, it only provides reports (which do not identify you) about our website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors, enabling us to show personalized ads off our website by using this data, but without identifying the member. LinkedIn also uses data that does not identify you to improve ad relevance and reach members across devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes through their account settings
