Cookie Policy

Cookies, browser storage, analytics and the choices available to you.

Last updated:

1. What This Policy Covers

This Cookie Policy explains cookies, browser storage and similar technologies used in connection with www.hithrc.com. It complements the Privacy Policy and covers the public website, WordPress features and the browser-based Tools pages.

2. Cookies and Browser Storage

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to retain and send back with later requests. Session cookies normally expire when the browser session ends; persistent cookies remain until their expiry or deletion. localStorage persists in a browser until cleared, while sessionStorage is generally limited to a tab or session. Their availability depends on browser settings.

3. Essential and Functional Cookies

WordPress features may use authentication, security and preference cookies when you log in or use those features. Examples documented by WordPress include:

  • wordpress_test_cookie: checks whether the browser accepts cookies during login.
  • wordpress_logged_in_* and wordpress_sec_*: identify and secure an authenticated session.
  • wp-settings-*: remember a signed-in user’s interface settings.

These examples are not a statement that every cookie is set for every public visitor. Cookies depend on the page, account state, selected options and features used. Hosting and security services may also use technologies needed to deliver and protect requests.

4. Analytics and Website Performance

The website loads Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand visits and page performance. Cloudflare states that its Web Analytics service does not use cookies or localStorage to collect usage metrics and does not fingerprint visitors. This is separate from any cookies Cloudflare security or challenge services may use.

Read Cloudflare’s Web Analytics description and Cloudflare’s privacy notice for provider details.

5. Calculators, CV Makers and Checklists

The tools at www.hithrc.com/tools/ keep entered values in browser memory while the page is open. They do not use cookies or localStorage to save the contents of your CV or calculation, and they do not send those entries to WordPress. Reloading or leaving a page may clear your work. Print or save the CV locally before leaving if you want to keep it.

This describes the tools themselves; normal website delivery, security and analytics can still process technical visit information. Submitting a separate job application, inquiry or message is a different action governed by its applicable privacy notice.

6. Third-Party Features and Linked Sites

The website may offer a WhatsApp contact button, reviews, maps, media or links to external recruitment portals. Loading embedded content or opening a third-party service can disclose technical information and may allow that provider to set or read its own cookies. Third-party features vary by page. Their privacy notices and browser settings explain their controls.

7. Your Choices

  • Use your browser’s site-data settings to inspect, block or delete cookies and stored data for this website.
  • Use private-browsing settings or browser controls to limit third-party cookies if you prefer.
  • Where a feature displays an optional preference or consent choice, use that control before enabling it.
  • Avoid opening an external service if you do not want to interact with that provider.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent login or break requested functions. Clearing cookies may sign you out or reset preferences. Browser controls do not by themselves remove information already submitted to H I T.

8. Cookie Duration and Changes

Duration varies by provider, login choice, purpose and browser. Inspect your browser’s site-data panel for the expiry of cookies actually present on your device. This policy may be updated when site features or providers change. It does not certify that every third-party service is cookie-free.
