Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Talent Forge Group uses cookies and similar technologies on our website: what they do, which ones we set, and how you can control them. In short: we use a small number of cookies to keep the site secure, understand what’s useful to visitors, and measure our own recruiting campaigns. You can accept, decline, or fine-tune non-essential cookies at any time.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They let the site remember things between pages and visits, like keeping you signed in, remembering a choice you made, or recognising that you’ve been here before. Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies; cookies set by our service providers (for example, our analytics tool) are called third-party cookies.
We also use a few similar technologies that work the same way, such as pixels (tiny images used to measure whether a page was viewed) and local storage (a small store in your browser). When this policy says “cookies,” it covers these technologies too.
In short: cookies are small files that help our website work, remember your choices, and show us what’s useful. Nothing on this site uses them to identify you by name.
How and why we use cookies
We keep our use of cookies deliberately small. Every cookie on this site falls into one of four categories, and only the first is required for the site to function.
Strictly necessary
Required for core features: secure browsing, page navigation, form submission, and remembering your cookie choices. The site can’t work properly without them.
Analytics & performance
Help us understand how visitors use the site: which pages are read and where people get stuck, so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and doesn’t identify you personally.
Functional
Remember choices you make, like a dismissed notice, and power embedded tools such as our interview scheduling widget, so the site feels seamless.
Marketing & measurement
Measure whether our recruiting campaigns on platforms like LinkedIn actually reach the right employers and candidates. We don’t run third-party ads on this site.
Cookies we set
The table below lists the cookies you may encounter on talentforgegroup-com-147082.hostingersite.com, who sets them, what they do, and how long they last.

Third-party providers occasionally rename cookies or adjust durations as their services evolve. This table was last reviewed on the “last updated” date shown at the top of this page.
Third-party services we use
A small number of trusted providers help us run this site. When their tools load, they may set the third-party cookies listed above and process limited technical data (such as your IP address) under their own privacy policies:
Google Analytics 4
Aggregated site usage measurement: which pages get read and how visitors move through the site, so we can keep improving it.
Google privacy policyLinkedIn Insight Tag
Measures whether our recruiting campaigns on LinkedIn reach the right employers and candidates. Loads only with your consent where required.
LinkedIn privacy policyCal.com
Powers the interview and consultation scheduling widget embedded on our site, so you can book time with our team directly.
Cal.com privacy policyGoogle Fonts
Serves the typefaces you’re reading right now. Google Fonts doesn’t set cookies, but your IP address is processed to deliver the font files.
How Google handles dataYour choices: cookie preference centre
You’re in control of every optional cookie on this site. Use the controls below to allow or decline each category, your choice applies immediately and is remembered for 12 months. Withdrawing consent stops future use of optional cookies, but doesn’t undo processing that happened before you changed your settings.
Manage your preferences
Toggle each category and save, or use a one-click option.
Strictly necessary
Security, page navigation, form submission, and remembering these very choices. Required for the site to work.
Analytics & performance
Aggregated usage measurement via Google Analytics, so we know which pages help visitors most.
Functional
Interface preferences and embedded tools such as the interview scheduling widget.
Marketing & measurement
Campaign measurement via the LinkedIn Insight Tag. We never run third-party ads on this site.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you view, delete, or block cookies for this site or for all sites. Note that blocking all cookies may break core features here and across the web, such as staying signed in or submitting forms.
Analytics and advertising opt-outs
- Opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Manage interest-based advertising preferences at YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance).
- Visitors in the EU/UK can also use Your Online Choices.
Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
Some browsers can send privacy signals to websites. Where required by applicable law, we treat a valid Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to opt out of non-essential cookies for that browser. Because there is still no common industry standard for legacy “Do Not Track” signals, we recommend using the preference centre above for the most reliable control over this site.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal information under laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR, or the CCPA/CPRA. Our Privacy Policy explains those rights and how to exercise them.
Changes to this policy
We review this Cookie Policy regularly and update it when our cookies, providers, or legal requirements change. When we make material changes, we’ll update the “last updated” date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we may ask for your consent again through the cookie banner. We encourage you to check back periodically.

Cookie questions, answered plainly.
The things visitors ask us most about cookies and privacy on this site.
No. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to work securely, but every other category is optional. You can browse with essential cookies only. Some features, such as the interview scheduling widget, may not load until you allow functional cookies.
The site will still load, but core features may break: forms may not submit correctly, your preferences won’t be remembered, and embedded tools like scheduling won’t work. Blocking all cookies applies across most websites you visit, not just ours.
No. We do not sell your personal information. Data collected through cookies is used to operate, secure, and improve our website and to measure our own recruiting campaigns, as described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.
Any time. Return to the preference centre on this page to update your choices, or adjust your browser settings. Withdrawing consent stops future use of optional cookies but doesn’t affect processing that happened before the change.
Where required by applicable law, we honour a valid Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of non-essential cookies. Legacy “Do Not Track” has no common industry standard, so we recommend the preference centre for reliable control.
