Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember certain information about your visit, and collect data about how you interact with the site.
Cookies are not the only tracking technology we use. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons (small invisible images embedded in pages or emails), pixels, and local storage — all referred to collectively as “cookies” in this policy for simplicity.
Cookies on clearedge-market-intelligence.com are set by two sources:
The table below describes each category of cookie, what it does, and which specific cookies or providers are involved.
These cookies are essential for the Website to operate. They cannot be switched off because without them basic functions — like page loading and form submission — would not work.

|---|---|---|
| Session cookies (first-party) | Maintain basic site functionality during your visit | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
We do not require your consent for strictly necessary cookies.
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, where they come from, and where they click. This helps us improve the Website over time.

This data is processed by Google LLC and may be stored on servers in the United States. For more information, see the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to your interests, measure the performance of ad campaigns, and limit how often you see the same ad. They track your activity across websites over time.

These cookies are set by our CRM and email marketing platforms to support how we communicate with prospects and track engagement.
