This Cookie Policy explains how HIRE.LK WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS (PRIVATE) LIMITED ("hire.lk", "we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the hire.lk website and platform (the "Platform"), and the choices available to you regarding these technologies.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By continuing to use the Platform, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this Policy, subject to the choices and controls outlined below.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, work more efficiently, and provide information to website owners about how the site is used.
We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and device identifiers. For simplicity, this Policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
Required for authentication, session management, security, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled through our systems.
Functional
Remember preferences and settings, such as display choices, to provide a more personalized experience.
Performance and analytics
Help us understand usage patterns, identify errors, and improve Platform performance. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Targeting and advertising
hire.lk does not currently use third-party advertising or re-targeting cookies.
3. Detailed Cookie Table
The table below lists the specific cookies currently used on the Platform. This list will be updated as our use of cookies evolves.
| Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hire_session | hire.lk | Strictly necessary | Maintains your authenticated session while you navigate the Platform. | Session |

Cookie names associated with third-party providers, such as Google Analytics, are determined by that provider and may be updated by them from time to time.
4. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep you securely logged in, protect the Platform against fraudulent or malicious activity, remember preferences, understand how the Platform is used, identify technical issues, and improve features and performance.
We do not currently use cookies to build advertising profiles or to sell your data to third parties.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party service providers rather than by hire.lk directly. Currently, this includes Google Analytics, operated by Google LLC, which helps us understand Platform usage patterns. You can learn more about Google's practices at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
hire.lk does not currently display an on-site cookie consent banner. You can control cookies directly through your browser settings, including viewing stored cookies, deleting cookies, blocking third-party cookies, blocking all cookies, or deleting cookies when your browser closes.
Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies will likely affect Platform functionality, including your ability to log in or use certain features.

Opting Out of Google Analytics
You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking across websites that use this service by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Future Consent Management
We are planning to introduce an on-site cookie consent banner that will allow you to grant or withhold consent for non-essential cookies directly within the Platform. When this feature is introduced, this Policy will be updated.
7. "Do Not Track" Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is currently no universally accepted industry standard for how websites should respond to these signals, so the Platform does not currently respond differently to browsers with this setting enabled.
8. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy
Information collected through cookies is treated as personal data where applicable and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, legal requirements, or our business practices. Material changes will be communicated by email or a prominent notice on the Platform.
