Cookie Policy and Notice
Last updated: August 29, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Hiringbe and its affiliates (collectively, “Hiringbe”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, https://hiringbe.com/, and any related domains (hereinafter, the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer or other internet-connected device to identify your browser, provide analytics, and remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. They are completely safe and cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
Definitions and Key Terms

- Company: Refers to Hiringbe, responsible for your information under this Cookie Policy.
- Device: Any internet-connected device (phone, tablet, computer) that can be used to visit Hiringbe.
- Personal Data: Any information that allows for the identification or identifiability of a natural person.
- Service: Refers to the service provided by Hiringbe as described in our terms and on this platform.

2. What Do We Use Cookies For?
We use first-party and/or third-party cookies on our Website for various purposes, such as:
- Operation and Security: To facilitate the operation and functionality of the website, enabling basic features like security, network management, and accessibility. They are strictly necessary.
- Experience Enhancement: To improve your experience on our website and make navigation faster and easier. This includes remembering your language or user interface preferences.
- Analytics and Performance: To collect information that helps us understand how our website is used, how effective our marketing campaigns are, and to customize the site for you.
- Advertising and Measurement: To make online advertising more relevant and effective for you, track conversions, optimize ads, and create specific audiences.
- Marketing and Sales: To identify future prospects and personalize marketing and sales interactions with them.
Specific Legal Considerations
- In the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), we only install non-essential cookies and technologies (such as those for analytics or advertising) when you grant us your prior and explicit consent through our cookie banner.
- In California (under the CPRA), we process the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out request from the “sale” or “sharing” of personal data.
3. Cookie Management and Consent
Our Consent Management Platform (CMP)
We have implemented a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to give you granular control over non-essential cookies.
- The banner presents you with clear options with equal prominence: “Accept all”, “Reject all”, and “Configure”. We do not use “scroll consent”.
- We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) as a container that does not activate analytics or advertising tags (such as GA4, Hotjar, Google Ads/gtag, LinkedIn Insight, or Meta Pixel) before you make a decision in the EEA/UK.
- You can change your choice at any time from the Preference Center, accessible via a permanent link in the site’s footer and on this page.
- When withdrawing your consent, the CMP stops sending new data and, where technically possible, invalidates or deletes cookie identifiers according to the provider’s capabilities. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out previously.
Browser Controls
In addition to our CMP, most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. You might also lose saved information, such as login details.
Disabling a cookie does not delete it from your browser; you must do this yourself from your browser’s help menu. Browser manufacturers provide help pages for cookie management:

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are not set directly by Hiringbe, but by third-party service providers, as mentioned in the table above. These third parties control many of the performance, advertising, marketing, and analytics cookies. We do not control the use of these cookies, as they can only be accessed by the third party that originally set them.
International Data Transfers (for EEA/UK)
If a cookie provider is located outside the EEA/UK (e.g., in the US), the data transfer is carried out under appropriate safeguards. If the provider is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (EU-US DPF), the basis is an adequacy decision. If not, we use the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC 2021/914) for the EU or the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA/Addendum) for the UK, supplemented by a transfer impact assessment (TIA) and additional security measures.
5. Changes to Our Cookie Policy
We may change our Service and our policies, and we may need to make changes to this Cookie Policy so that it accurately reflects those changes. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make substantial changes and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. If you continue to use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Cookie Policy.
