Version 2026-10-18. This page is a draft awaiting legal review, and it may change before the Product Marketing Jobs Board launches publicly.
Why there's no cookie banner
UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, as updated by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025) says a site must ask before it stores or reads anything on your device, unless it's strictly necessary for a service you asked for, or it's only used to produce statistics about how the site is used and you're told about it and can object. Everything below fits those exceptions:
- Our own cookies are only set when you sign in, and they keep you signed in or protect the sign-in. You can browse, search and apply without any cookies at all.
- Our bot check on forms is ALTCHA, which runs on our own servers: it sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. Cloudflare Turnstile would only run on forms if we ever turn it on instead. Security checks like these are strictly necessary.
- Vercel Web Analytics doesn't set cookies or store anything on your device. You can object to it at any time (below).
We don't use advertising, retargeting or social media tracking on the Product Marketing Jobs Board. If we ever add anything that isn't strictly necessary, we'll ask for your consent first and update this page.
Our cookies
| Name | Who gets it | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
pmaj_emp | Employers who sign in to post a role | Keeps you signed in to your employer account. Signed so it can't be forged. | 14 days, or until you sign out |
pmaj_mem | PMA members who sign in | Keeps you signed in to your member account. Signed so it can't be forged. | 14 days, or until you sign out |
pmaj_li_oidc | Anyone signing in with LinkedIn | Security check for the LinkedIn sign-in, so nobody else can complete your sign-in. Deleted when you come back from LinkedIn. | 10 minutes |
pmaj_staff | PMA staff only | Keeps PMA moderators signed in to the admin area. | 12 hours |
pmaj_staff_oauth | PMA staff only | Security check for the staff Google sign-in. | 10 minutes |
pmaj_relay | Anyone signing in | Security check that ties a sign-in back to the browser that started it. Deleted when you are signed in. | 10 minutes |
pmaj_relay_to | Anyone signing in | Carries that security check through the LinkedIn or Google sign-in step. Deleted when you come back. | 10 minutes |
All of them are secure (sent only over HTTPS), can't be read by scripts on the page, and are only sent to the Product Marketing Jobs Board.
Third-party services on our pages
| Service | Where | What it does | What it stores on your device | Why it's allowed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Only if we turn it on instead of ALTCHA, and then only on forms: posting a role, reporting a job, job alerts, intro requests and listing removal requests | Checks that a form is being sent by a person, not a bot. Cloudflare receives your IP address, browser details and the page address. | Sets no cookies on our site. Cloudflare may set its own security cookie inside its check, on its own domain. | Strictly necessary (security and fraud prevention) |
| Vercel Web Analytics | Every page | Counts page views and which filters are used, so we can improve the board. No search text is sent. | No cookies. Vercel's script looks in your browser's storage for an attribution entry ("__va_attribution") that the Product Marketing Jobs Board never creates, so nothing is stored. Visits are grouped by a hash of the request that Vercel discards after 24 hours. | Statistics about how the site is used, which UK law allows without consent as long as we tell you and let you object. Turn on Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track and we send nothing. |
Clicking through to an employer's site or to LinkedIn takes you to their site, where their own cookie policy applies.
How to object or control cookies
- Analytics: turn on Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track in your browser and the Product Marketing Jobs Board sends no analytics at all. You can also email jobs@productmarketingalliance.com.
