Pentest People Cookie Policy

This policy describes how Pentest People uses cookies on this website.

Introduction

At Pentest People, we’re committed to ensuring transparency and trust when it comes to how we handle your data. This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies on our website.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us understand how visitors interact with our site and improve your experience by remembering your preferences, speeding up site performance, and tailoring content to your interests.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Ensure our website functions properly and securely
  • Improve your browsing experience
  • Understand how visitors interact with our site, so we can make it better
  • Support marketing and advertising efforts (without being annoying)

Cookies help us see what’s working and what isn’t. They also help us ensure our site is performing efficiently so clients can find what they need quickly, whether that’s booking a penetration test or checking out our SecurePortal features.

Types of Cookies We Use

We collect, store and process personal data for several purposes, mainly client management, client relationship, contract performance, sales opportunities, marketing, service delivery, product development and feedback, finance and invoices.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas of the website. Without these, the site simply won’t work as it should.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how people use our site. They collect information anonymously—such as which pages are visited most often—so we can make improvements where needed.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and settings (like language or region) to provide a more personalised experience.

Targeting & Advertising Cookies

We may use these cookies to show relevant ads on other platforms or to track how effective our campaigns are. They don’t store personal data directly, but they do rely on identifying your browser and device.
