What is recorded when you visit
On a landing page, case study, video page or audit, how long you spend on the page, how far down it you scroll, and which sections you spend that time on. This is stored against a random identifier created for your visit, which is not kept anywhere on your device and is not linked to any profile of you elsewhere.
Which door you came in by: the campaign and source tags on the link you clicked, if it carried any, and otherwise the name of the site that referred you, as your browser reports it. This is the site, not the page or the search you made, and it is kept only so the operator can tell which of their links brought visitors.
On a page with a video, how far through that video you got. It is recorded once, as the furthest point you reached, not as a running trace of what you did with the player.
If you arrived through a personalised link, from an email, a campaign or a printed code, that visit is linked to the contact record the link was made for, so the operator can see that the page they sent you was opened.
On a form or a booking page, whatever you type into it: at minimum your name and email address, plus any other questions asked, and for a booking the time you chose.
Nothing is stored on your device until you answer the cookie question on the page, apart from your answer itself and, on a multilingual site, the language you picked. If you accept, the page may set one cookie for ninety days that lets the business that sent you the link see that you opened it and what you read. Decline, and nothing of the kind is set. There are no advertising trackers on these pages.
Why, and on what basis
Engagement measurement runs on the operator’s legitimate interest (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)) in knowing whether the material they sent you reached you. It is limited to their own pages, is not combined with data from anywhere else, and is not shared or sold.
Anything you submit in a form or a booking is processed to answer you and to take the steps you asked for before any agreement (art. 6(1)(b)), and afterwards to keep the business records the operator is required to keep (art. 6(1)(c)).
Opting out of measurement
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, no engagement measurement runs at all: nothing is recorded for your visit. Several browsers and extensions send it for you, and enabling it needs no action from the operator.
You can also object at any time by writing to the address above, and you can ask for anything already recorded to be deleted.
How long it is kept
Engagement records, including how far through a video you got, are deleted thirteen months after the visit, by a job that runs every day. Forms and bookings are kept for as long as the working relationship they belong to, and then for the period the operator’s tax and accounting rules require.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, ask for processing to be restricted, object to it, and ask for it in a portable form. Write to the email address above; there is nothing to pay and no form to fill in.
If you are in the EU or the UK and are unhappy with the reply, you can complain to your national data protection authority. In Belgium that is the Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.
