Cookies and analytics.

Interview Runtime uses cookies and browser storage on every page, for every visitor, to keep you signed in and to measure how the site is used. The visitor id is kept for 400 days and renewed on each visit; every other cookie for one year or less.

What is used, and for how long

Sign-in and purchase

Keep you signed in, remember what you bought and protect the return from checkout.

Kept: 90 days (checkout: 30 minutes)

Visitor id

A random id our own analytics uses to count visits and link them to your account if you sign in or buy.

Analytics

Pages visited, where you came from and product events such as opening the sample, starting checkout and buying.

Kept: 1 year

Visitor id (browser storage)

A copy of the visitor id and the session, so the id survives a cleared cookie.

Kept: Until you clear site data

Who processes it

Analytics are processed by an analytics provider and by our own servers. The hosting provider that serves the site also measures page loads, without setting a cookie.

What is kept on our servers

Page views and campaign attribution recorded by our own analytics, with the IP address and approximate location of each page view, are kept for 24 months, then deleted. The list of who is on the site right now is held in memory for five minutes and never written to disk. Training data follows the rule in the Privacy policy.

Your browser

You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Sign-in cookies come back when you sign in again.
