Cookies and Your Privacy at Path Over Hire

At Path Over Hire, we strive to keep your online experience transparent and secure. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies are used on our platform. Cookies help us analyze site traffic, personalize content, and improve functionality. In this Policy, we explain the types of cookies we deploy, the purposes they serve in supporting our Services, and your available options to manage or decline them. By offering these details, we want you to stay informed about your choices and exercise full control over how cookies affect your browsing experience.

How Tracking Tools Function

Cookies are tiny text records created by websites to enhance functionality, efficiency, and personalization. They allow a site to recall your details like login credentials or display settings making future visits more convenient.

Session Cookies: Active only for the duration of a browsing session, these cookies track your actions while you’re on the site, ensuring smooth navigation and customized results.
Persistent Cookies: Remaining on your device after your session ends, persistent cookies store long-term choices and help maintain consistency across multiple visits until they expire or are erased.
Web Beacons: Also known as clear gifs, web beacons are invisible image elements embedded within web pages or emails. Instead of living on your device, they function as analytic tools, tracking interaction and user interest.
Flash Cookies: These, sometimes referred to as LSOs, are linked with media applications and may hold video settings or playback data to optimize user experience.
Pixels: Pixels, or tracking tags, monitor when you engage with emails or site content. This helps companies assess activity and refine their services for better communication.

How Different Cookies Work for You

Cookies are tools that make your browsing more effective, personal, and secure. Each type of cookie serves a distinct purpose in supporting your experience.

Performance Cookies: By analysing your interactions like the sections you explore or links you follow these cookies help us identify areas of improvement. The insights allow us to enhance site speed, design, and functionality.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies store your preferences and past selections, making it easier for the site to remember your choices. Whether it’s remembering language, layout, or login settings, they ensure your visits remain smooth and personalized.
Security Cookies: Dedicated to safety, these cookies help recognize suspicious behaviour and stop harmful actions. They form an additional defence layer, ensuring your data and browsing remain protected.

Understanding Cookie Sources

To deliver an optimized browsing experience, our platform utilizes two main types of cookies: those we set ourselves and those supplied by trusted partners.

First-Party Cookies: First-party cookies are placed directly by our website. They store essential information such as navigation history, settings you select, and interactions you’ve had on different sections. This ensures a smoother transition as you move across pages, helping the site remember who you are and what matters to you.
Third-Party Cookies: These are created by external service providers that integrate with our site. They frequently assist in gathering analytical data for instance, which pages are popular, how long users stay, and what content receives clicks. Additionally, third-party cookies support external tools like video streaming modules, surveys, or marketing features, improving usability and personalization. Together, both cookie types allow us to fine-tune performance and deliver content that feels relevant.

The Role of Cookies

Cookies enable us to operate our website smoothly, gain performance insights, and tailor your experience. Each type plays a vital part.

Site Functionality: These cookies make the site usable, giving access to secure areas and ensuring important tools like forms function correctly. Without them, basic services may fail.
Site Analytics: Analytics cookies help us understand visitor behaviour. By studying how people navigate, or which sections are most popular, we can enhance speed and design.
Customer Preferences: These cookies remember your settings and choices, such as preferred language or saved options. With this data, we can create a consistent and personalized experience for future visits.

Controlling Cookie Use

You are free to decide how cookies are handled on your device. Through your browser settings, you can choose to accept or reject cookies. Declining cookies may still allow access to the site, though some tools or secure areas might not work as expected.

Policy Revisions

From time to time, we may modify this Cookie Policy to reflect regulatory changes, new technologies, or service improvements. We encourage you to check back regularly. Continued use of our site after updates signifies acceptance of the revised terms.
