Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help CostGuard understand how visitors and users interact with the website and product so we can improve usability, documentation, and performance. Analytics cookies are optional and are not set unless enabled.
On our public pages, analytics cookies cover Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation, United States). Clarity loads only after you allow analytics cookies, and never inside the signed-in application. It records the pages you view, clicks and scrolling, together with technical data such as your browser and device, and it is set to mask what you type into form fields. It sets the first-party cookies _clck and _clsk, and Microsoft cookies such as MUID, CLID, ANONCHK, MR and SM.
Analytics cookies also cover Google Analytics (Google LLC, United States). It loads only after you allow analytics cookies, and never inside the signed-in application. It records the public pages you view, how you arrived (for example from a search, a video or another website), scrolling, clicks on links that leave our site such as our Azure Marketplace listing, whether a form was started or sent but never what you type, and technical data such as your browser, device and approximate location. Its advertising features and Google signals are switched off. It sets the first-party cookie _ga and a second _ga_ cookie named after our Google Analytics property, both kept for 13 months. Withdrawing analytics consent stops Google Analytics and removes both cookies.

Optional. Disabled by default.
Marketing cookies
Can be disabled
Marketing cookies may be used to understand campaign performance or public-page conversion. Marketing cookies are optional and are not set unless enabled.
On our public pages, marketing cookies cover the Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag (Microsoft Corporation, United States). It loads only after you allow marketing cookies, and never inside the signed-in application. It records the public page a visit arrives on, whether or not the visit came from one of our ads, and whether you then opened our Azure Marketplace listing. It sets the first-party cookies _uetsid and _uetvid, and may read or set the Microsoft cookie MUID, which Microsoft keeps for 13 months.

Marketing cookies also cover the OpenAI Ads measurement pixel (OpenAI, United States). It loads only after you allow marketing cookies, and never inside the signed-in application. It reports to OpenAI when you open our Azure Marketplace listing, so OpenAI can tell whether a visit that came from one of our ads in ChatGPT led there. It sets the first-party cookies __oppref, which keeps the ad reference of the link you arrived through for 30 days, and __obref, a random browser reference kept for 365 days. OpenAI's automatic matching may detect contact details entered on our public pages, such as an email address, and sends only a one-way hash of them. It also sets __oaiq_consent, which records whether the pixel may run. Withdrawing marketing consent removes __oppref and __obref and records the refusal in __oaiq_consent.
