A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies for the site to work, to understand how the site is used, for live chat, for optional marketing and measurement tags, and—where you see our cookie banner—to record your consent choices. Updated May 14, 2026

We use OneTrust (CookiePro, OneTrust LLC) to show the cookie banner and preference center and to store your consent. OneTrust may set its own cookies (for example, to remember that you have made a choice or to apply your preferences). The OneTrust script loads from cdn.cookielaw.org so the banner can appear before other optional tags run.

When optional tags run: On most pages, advertising and measurement scripts (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics configuration, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Mailchimp’s connected-site script) are included in a form that does not run until OneTrust enables them after you interact with the cookie banner and allow the relevant cookie categories. Live chat (Tawk.to) is set up the same way for the “Functional” category. If those categories are not allowed, those scripts do not execute in the browser.

California visitors: When our systems detect a visit from California, we do not include the advertising and measurement scripts listed above at all (in addition to any choice you make in OneTrust). Essential site operation, the consent tool, and other non-marketing features may still load.

For general background on how cookies work, see allaboutcookies.org. You can also use your browser’s settings to delete or block cookies; some site features may not work if you block cookies that are strictly necessary.

Consent and preference cookies (OneTrust)

Typical names and purposes (exact names can vary by OneTrust version and template):

Host	Cookie / storage	Purpose	Origin
.pedestalpro.com	OptanonConsent	Stores cookie consent preferences and timestamps for OneTrust.	First party
.pedestalpro.com	OptanonAlertBoxClosed	Remembers that the cookie banner was shown or dismissed so it is not shown again on every page load (depending on your template rules).	First party
cookielaw.org, cookie-cdn.cookiepro.com	(session / technical)	OneTrust delivery and script hosting may use short-lived technical cookies or similar storage as part of loading the consent experience.	Third party

Essential cookies (site operation)

Needed for security, sessions, and basic UX. These are not gated behind marketing consent in the same way as optional tags below.

Host	Cookie	Purpose	Origin
pedestalpro.com	XSRF-TOKEN	Helps protect against cross-site request forgery when you submit forms.	First party
pedestalpro.com	laravel_session	Keeps your session (for example, login or cart) across page views.	First party
pedestalpro.com	hasSeenPromotion	Remembers that you closed a promotional pop-up so it is not shown on every visit.	First party
pedestalpro.com	seen_newsletter_popup	Remembers that you closed the newsletter sign-up pop-up.	First party

Performance and measurement (after consent)

We use Google Analytics 4 with measurement ID G-XR2TXWL9RE (via the gtag queue in our layout). We also load two Google Tag Manager containers: GTM-ML8JNDQQ and GTM-T8NQWG87, which may deploy tags configured in those containers (for example measurement or advertising, depending on how each container is set up). These scripts are configured so they do not run until OneTrust allows the relevant categories (for example Performance for GA, and Targeting for the combined GTM/Meta/LinkedIn/Mailchimp bundle in our implementation—your OneTrust admin should align cookie groups with these script tags).

Host	Cookie / identifier	Purpose	Origin
pedestalpro.com	_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics: distinguishes users and sessions. Set when GA runs after consent.	First party
google.com / googletagmanager.com	(various)	Google may set additional cookies when GA or GTM loads; see Google’s privacy documentation for current names and retention.	Third party

Targeting and advertising (after consent)

Used to measure ad effectiveness and for remarketing-style use cases when you allow targeting cookies. These are not loaded for visitors detected as being in California.

Host	Cookie / identifier	Purpose	Origin
pedestalpro.com	_fbp	Meta (Facebook) Pixel: used for advertising and measurement when the pixel runs (pixel ID 450882017442187).	First party
facebook.com	(various)	Meta may set third-party cookies when `fbevents.js` loads.	Third party
linkedin.com	bcookie, lidc, li_gc, …	LinkedIn Insight Tag (partner ID 6813948): advertising and professional audience measurement.	Third party
pedestalpro.com	_gcl_au	Google Ads / conversion linker style cookies may appear when tags in GTM request them.	First party
chimpstatic.com / mailchimp.com	(various)	Mailchimp “connected site” script for list growth and on-site marketing features tied to your Mailchimp audience.	Third party

Functional: live chat (after consent)

We use Tawk.to for live chat. The chat widget script is configured so it does not run until OneTrust allows the functional cookie category in our implementation.

Host	Cookie / storage	Purpose	Origin
tawk.to	TawkConnectionTime, twk_uuid*, …	Maintains chat session and visitor continuity across pages.	Third party

Embedded content (YouTube and Typeform)

Some pages embed YouTube videos or Typeform forms. Those providers may set their own cookies when the embed loads (for example YouTube’s VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE or Typeform infrastructure cookies such as load-balancer cookies on form.typeform.com). Loading is usually triggered when you open a video modal or visit a page with an iframe, not by our main layout alone.

Host	Examples	Purpose	Origin
youtube.com / googlevideo.com	YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, …	Playback, preferences, and measurement for embedded YouTube players.	Third party
typeform.com / form.typeform.com	AWSALB*, attribution cookies, …	Form delivery, routing, and (where applicable) referral or campaign attribution for Typeform links.	Third party

Other third-party resources

We load Font Awesome from kit.fontawesome.com for icons. Font Awesome’s kit may perform requests that can involve cookies or similar storage according to their policies. Our own JavaScript and CSS bundles (site.js, vendors.js, etc.) are served from Pedestal PRO and do not replace the vendors listed above.
