When you visit our website, RGP.com, the site asks your browser to store a small piece of data (text file) called a ”cookie” on your device in order to remember information about you. Some cookies are set by us and are called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting, for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
What is a Cookie?
“Cookies” are small text files that may be placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. Cookies are widely used to enable websites to work more efficiently and may contain data related to the function or delivery of the site, or they may allow a website to “remember” your actions or preferences over a period of time.
Why do we use Cookies?
We use cookies for a variety of reasons that are detailed below, such as essential operations, site navigation, and to improve your experience when you visit our website. Additionally, we use cookies for analysing visitor behaviour on our webpages and to provide you with specific content, such as videos on our website.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have previously visited our webpages or are a new visitor.
What type of Cookies do we use?
There are two broad categories of cookies:
First Party and Third-Party Cookies
We use both first party and third-party cookies on our website.
Cookies can be set by the owner of the website (first-party cookies) or in some cases by third-party service providers, who the website owner allows to present information, run content, or provide other functionality on the website, such as analytics (third-party cookies).
First party and third-party cookies may also be categorized as “session” or “persistent” cookies.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are set when users visit a website, so any page changes or selections made during a visit are remembered for the duration of the browser session. Session cookies are temporary and expire when the user closes the browser or logs out.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain for a set period of time on users’ computers after the end of a browsing session and therefore remember preferences or actions of users when they revisit the site.

We use 6sense, an account-based marketing and sales intelligence platform, to collect and analyze certain behavioural signals related to visits to our website. This may include page views, time spent on pages, referring sources, and other engagement indicators. 6sense aggregates and analyzes this data – often at the account or business domain level – to help us identify organizations showing interest in our services, personalize and improve the relevance of our communications, and understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. 6sense may also combine the data it collects from our website with information from other sources. We do not use 6sense to intentionally collect sensitive personal data. In accordance with applicable law, we process data collected via 6sense on the basis of (a) your consent (e.g., where local laws require cookie/tracking consent) or (b) our legitimate interests (e.g., in improving the relevance of our marketing and sales outreach). For California residents, certain sharing of data with 6sense may be considered a ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA, and you have the right to opt out.
We also use other analytics and advertising partners, including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, to help us understand website usage and improve user experience. These partners may set cookies or similar technologies on your device. You can manage your preferences or disable such tracking through our cookie banner or your browser settings. See: How do I change my Cookies setting? below.
We retain data collected via 6sense only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above and in accordance with our internal retention policies. Data is securely deleted or anonymized once no longer required, or upon a valid request for erasure.

Analytics Cookies
