5. Behavioural analytics and tracking technologies

In addition to cookies, we use the following analytics technologies on our website. These features are consent-gated — they only activate after you have given consent for analytics cookies.

5.1 Heatmaps

We record click, scroll, and mouse/touch movement data to generate heatmaps showing how visitors interact with each page. Data collected includes:

Heatmap data is aggregated and does not capture text input, passwords, or personally identifiable information.

5.2 Session replay

We use session replay technology (powered by rrweb) to record and play back individual browsing sessions. A session replay captures:

Session replays help us identify usability issues and bugs. Sensitive content is masked or blocked according to our privacy configuration. Passwords and fields marked as sensitive are never recorded.

5.3 Screenshot capture

We may capture visual snapshots of pages as they appear in your browser. Screenshots are used to monitor page layout and detect visual regressions. Data collected includes:

Screenshots are subject to per-session rate limits and deduplication. Password fields and elements that we have configured as sensitive are excluded from captures.

5.4 Form analytics

We track how visitors interact with forms on our website to identify friction points and improve form design. Data collected includes:

We do not capture the actual values entered into form fields. Only interaction metadata is recorded.

5.5 Rage click detection

We detect rapid repeated clicks on the same element (known as "rage clicks"), which typically indicate user frustration. Data collected includes:

5.6 Scroll depth milestones

We track how far down a page visitors scroll, recording when configurable depth thresholds are reached (e.g. 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Data collected includes:

5.7 Error tracking

We capture uncaught JavaScript errors and unhandled promise rejections that occur in your browser. This helps us identify and fix bugs. Data collected includes:

5.8 Impression tracking

We track ad impression identifiers passed via URL parameters or cookies to measure advertising effectiveness. Data collected includes:

5.9 Live chat tracking

Where our website uses a third-party live chat widget (such as Drift, Intercom, or LiveChat), we detect when chat conversations are started and track these as conversion events for marketing attribution. Data collected includes:

5.10 eCommerce purchase tracking

We detect purchase events from eCommerce platforms (including Google Tag Manager, GA4, WooCommerce, and Shopify) to attribute transactions to marketing sources. Data collected includes:

This data is used solely for marketing attribution and is deduplicated per session to prevent double-counting.

5.11 Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI)

We may replace phone numbers displayed on our website with tracking numbers so that inbound calls can be attributed to the marketing source that brought you to the site. When this feature is active:

5.12 Web performance metrics (Core Web Vitals)

We collect browser performance metrics to monitor and improve the speed and responsiveness of our website. Metrics collected include:

These metrics are collected using your browser's built-in PerformanceObserver API and contain no personally identifiable information.

5.13 Visitor identity and marketing attribution

We assign each visitor an anonymous unique identifier, stored either in a first-party cookie (sadang_vid, lasting up to 2 years) or in your browser's local storage. This identifier does not contain your name, email, or any personal details — it is a randomly generated code used to link your visits together for analytics purposes.

We also maintain a record of up to 20 marketing attribution touchpoints (such as the UTM parameters, referrer, and landing page from each visit) in your browser's local storage. This helps us understand which marketing channels are driving traffic and conversions.

Additionally, we track page engagement by measuring how long the page is visible in your browser and sending periodic heartbeat events. On page exit, a final engagement summary is sent.

5.14 Marketing tag management

If you have multiple tabs of our website open, we synchronise your consent preferences, visitor identity, and user associations across those tabs in real time. This means that if you withdraw consent in one tab, all other open tabs will immediately stop tracking. This synchronisation uses your browser's BroadcastChannel API or local storage events and does not involve any network requests.

5.15 Data minimisation

All behavioural analytics features are designed with data minimisation in mind:

All features respect your cookie consent preferences and deactivate immediately if consent is withdrawn

6. Third-party cookies and services

We may allow third-party service providers to set cookies on your device through our website. These third parties process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We require that all third-party processors provide adequate safeguards for your personal data.

Third-party services that may set cookies or process data through our website include:

7. International data transfers

Where personal data collected via cookies is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

8. Your rights

9. Data retention

Cookie data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. When a cookie expires or you withdraw consent, the associated data is deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data retention schedule.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Where changes are material, we will notify you through a prominent notice on our website or by re-presenting the consent banner.
