Cookie Policy
At HiredIn (software”, “platform”, "we", "our", or "us"), we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, improve our services, and ensure the security of our Platform.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding cookies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. They let sites remember information (such as login state or language) and help measure usage, so the experience keeps improving. “Cookies” here also includes local-storage objects, pixels, tags, and similar technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
| Category | Purpose | Typical Lifespan | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core functions like account login, load balancing, CSRF protection. Without them the Platform will not work. | Session or up to 1 year | HIREDIN_SESS, AWS LB cookie |
| Preferences | Remember choices (language, UI layout, last viewed tab). | 6 months | ui_lang, dashboard_view |
| Statistics | Help us understand usage (page views, feature adoption) so we can improve performance. Data are aggregated and anonymized. | 2 years | Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _gid) |
| Marketing / Retargeting | Show relevant ads off-site and measure campaign effectiveness. | 3 months | Meta Pixel (_fbp), LinkedIn Insight Tag |
3. Consent Banner & Regional Requirements
| Region | Banner Behavior | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| EEA / UK / Switzerland | Non-essential cookies blocked until the user clicks “Accept.” Users can granulate choices via “Cookie Settings.” | GDPR, e-Privacy Directive |
| Canada (CPPA/PIPEDA) | Same opt-in banner as EEA/UK. | CPPA (forthcoming) |
| United States (CCPA/CPRA) | Site loads with cookies; banner offers “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link and toggles to opt-out of marketing cookies. | CCPA / CPRA |
| Rest of world | Banner explains use and offers an opt-out link; continued use = implied consent, unless local law requires stricter standard. | Legitimate interests / local law |
You will see the banner until you make a choice; your preferences are stored for 12 months (then we will re-ask).
4. Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Please note disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of our Platform.
- Use the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer or banner to adjust or withdraw consent at any time.
- Most browsers let you delete or block cookies; see your browser’s help menu.
- Opting out of Strictly Necessary cookies isn’t possible because they are required for the Platform to function. Disabling other categories may affect performance or personalization but the core service will still work.
5. Third-Party Services That May Set Cookies
- Google Analytics 4 – analytics & performance.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel – marketing and retargeting ads.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag – B2B campaign measurement.
- AWS Application Load Balancer – session routing for high availability.
These providers may change; an always-current list is kept at https://hiredin.ai/cookies.
6. Changes and Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. If changes are material, we will display a notice (e.g., banner or pop-up) and update the “Effective Date” above.
