Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

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

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies — temporary files deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
• First-party cookies — set directly by hire-x.ai.
• Third-party cookies — set by external services we use (see Section 5).

We use cookies in accordance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. Where cookies are non-essential, we obtain your consent before setting them.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for hire-x.ai to function correctly. They cannot be disabled without breaking the website. No consent is required for these cookies under PECR.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. This information helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of hire-x.ai. These cookies require your consent.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy policies. We have enabled IP anonymisation and data retention is set to 14 months. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies enable the website to remember choices you make — such as display settings or your region — to deliver a more personalised experience. These require your consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on hire-x.ai are set by third-party services we use to enhance functionality. We do not control these cookies — they are governed by the respective third-party's privacy policy.

Google Fonts

We load web fonts from Google Fonts to ensure consistent typography across browsers. Google may set cookies or collect usage data as part of this service. See Google's Privacy Policy for details. Fonts are loaded via a standard CDN request; no personal data is intentionally shared with Google for our purposes.

Embedded content

Pages on hire-x.ai may include embedded content such as videos, social media posts, or interactive demos from third-party providers. These services may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of those providers directly.

Payment processing

When you purchase a subscription, our payment processor may set cookies to facilitate the transaction and prevent fraud. These are essential to completing a purchase and are governed by the processor's own privacy notice.

Managing Your Cookies

Your consent choices

When you first visit hire-x.ai, you will be shown a cookie consent banner where you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by contacting us at hello@hire-x.ai.

Browser controls

All major browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent some parts of the website from working correctly.

Opting out of Google Analytics

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals automatically, as there is no agreed industry standard. You can manage your preferences using the methods described above.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or to reflect updates in legislation. We will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made.

For significant changes, we will notify you via the cookie consent banner or, where appropriate, by email.
