If you would like to find out more information, please visit: Digital Advertising Alliance Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons? Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects? Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations. If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content. Do you serve targeted advertising? Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

We partner with multiple panel providers for our custom projects, thus eliminating bias by design and we can support outreach to multiple countries, including difficult-to-reach countries, e.g. China. Our surveys are offered in multiple languages. We manage the translations. For projects focused on software developer audiences, we can use our own panel as well as the Developer Nation community , which encapsulates many developers who use SlashData resources: forum users, newsletter recipients, podcast listeners, etc. Our Developer Nation surveys, run twice per year and bring a minimum sample of 12,500 and are helpful as they provide rich profiling data (100+ questions) on software developers as well as larger samples. We also offer the option to add custom questions to these surveys, to address specific client needs. The surveyed developers are not the same in each wave, instead, we reach out to the global developer population afresh each time. This way, we ensure that we accurately represent the mosaic of all different communities, backgrounds, goals and software projects out there. Depending on project needs, we can also provide a premium sample, which means that each respondent is verified through GitHub and LinkedIn. Sophisticated data capture Our proprietary survey tool is unsurpassed in the research space, generating more data than any other survey tool. Its “question-by-question” view means that we capture exactly the timings associated with each question, rather than the survey as a whole, while capturing key information like click positions (in randomised questions), the extent of the viewport examined in each question, as well as the setting and unsetting of options. This respondent data allows SlashData to create a best-in-industry data cleansing methodology. Cleansing the data Our cleansing methodology is both extensive and thorough to ensure only high-quality data. We include sophisticated implementations of speeding, straightlining as well as other industry standard checks, but we far surpass this with our many advanced features. Our implementations lead the industry standard. For instance, when considering the speed at which questions are answered, we do so on a grouped level: taking into account the language (because certain languages are faster to read than others) as well as other respondent characteristics like experience (if appropriate). Grouping in this way ensures more accurate speeding checks. Further, we also check a respondent’s speed against the minimum read time for that given question. Due to our unique question-by-question timing, we are able to carefully monitor speeding (and pick out responses that are not usable). We also compare a respondent’s answer time against the minimum read time for that question so as to check if the respondent spent enough time to properly understand the question. As part of our suite of more advanced checks, we have advanced bot detection, including VPN detection, repeated VPN cycling or other unusual network features. Such advanced techniques protect your data against bots and/or click-farm activities. Around most questions we build extensive consistency checks. An example of this would be if you claim to use React (a front-end JavaScript based framework), but also say that you cannot code nor know any JavaScript. By checking for these logical inconsistencies we are able to detect boredom, carelessness or deception and adjust accordingly in each case. Weighting the data No matter how hard we try, we’re always bound to get some sample bias. Beware of anyone who says they don’t. In certain projects, we deem it appropriate to weight the data. This is done by creating respondent weights using the ranking technique, where we weigh data to adjust for and minimise sample bias that occurred during the fielding/outreach phase of a project. This may occur, for instance, if a particular region (e.g. South Asia) brought a disproportionate proportion of the sample. In such a case, we will reduce the weight of South Asian respondents. In practice, though, we consider many attributes (not just region) and weight in a multivariate way. Advanced statistical reporting We have advanced statistical reporting available. This includes: Hypothesis testing - a very useful feature to see if there is a real vs only random fluctuation between two groups Confidence intervals - which would give high and low estimates of usage.

Sustainable software engineering (SSE) is the practice of minimisingthe environmental cost of software. It is an emerging discipline at the intersection of climate science, software practices and architecture, electricity markets, hardware, and data centre design. In this report, we’ll look at which developers are involved in building sustainable software and which SSE principles are most commonly utilised. We’ll investigate how developers’ experience levels, location, and the size of the organisation they work for –amongst other factors –affect the rate at which they utilise SSE and which principles they most often adopt. Later, we’ll take a closer look at what motivates developers to utilise SSE principles, as well as which challenges they face in doing so. We’ll demonstrate how developers’ motivations and challenges change based on several different factors, such as their experience levels.
