Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to personal data we hold about you in certain circumstances.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage. References to 'cookies' in this policy include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

We use cookies to ensure our website functions correctly, to remember your session when you log in to the employer portal, to understand how visitors use our site, and to improve your overall experience.

We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising or to track you across third-party websites for marketing purposes.

Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in to the employer portal, setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided.

Functional cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your login session) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the structure and content of our site. These cookies are only set with your consent.

Payment cookies: When you proceed to checkout via our subscription payment flow, Stripe (our payment processor) may set cookies necessary to process your payment securely and to detect and prevent fraud. These cookies are strictly necessary for the payment transaction to complete.

better-auth session cookie: Set when you log in to the employer portal. This cookie maintains your authenticated session and expires when you sign out or after a period of inactivity. It is strictly necessary for portal access.

Cookie consent cookie: Records your cookie preferences so we do not ask you again on subsequent visits. This cookie is strictly necessary for managing your consent choices.

Stripe (payment processing): When you use our subscription checkout, Stripe sets cookies to enable secure payment processing, fraud prevention, and to remember your payment session. These cookies are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie policies, available at stripe.com/privacy. Stripe's cookies are strictly necessary for completing a payment transaction and are only active during the checkout flow.

We do not currently use any other third-party cookies for advertising, social media tracking, or cross-site analytics.

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice. Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically as they are required for the site to function. All other cookies (analytics and non-essential functional cookies) are only set after you have given your consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or by clearing your cookies. Please note that withdrawing consent may affect the functionality of certain parts of our website.
