Cookie Policy

A plain-language guide to the browser storage and analytics technologies used on this website—and how to control them.

Effective August 31, 2026

1. What these technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that keeps a preference on your device. We use both only for the purposes described below. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. Essential storage

Essential storage supports choices and features you request. It does not track you across other websites and cannot be disabled through our preference panel because the site needs it to remember your selection.

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`hiredevs-cookie-consent:v1`	Local storage	Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics.	Until cleared
`hiredevs-theme:v1`	Local storage	Remembers your light or dark theme preference.	Until cleared

3. Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and interactions, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive, and which fit-call links are used. Analytics is enabled by default for visitors detected in the United States. Visitors detected outside the United States must opt in before Google Analytics loads. Anyone can disable analytics through Cookie settings. Advertising storage, advertising user data, and ad personalization remain disabled.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Default duration
`_ga`	Google Analytics	Distinguishes pseudonymous visitors.	Up to 2 years
`_ga_<container-id>`	Google Analytics	Persists session state.	Up to 2 years

Browser limits, our Analytics settings, or clearing cookies may shorten these periods. Learn more in Google's GA4 cookie documentation.

4. Advertising cookies

We do not currently use advertising cookies on this website. Our Google consent settings keep ad storage, ad user data, and ad personalization denied even when you accept analytics.

5. Manage your choices

You can accept, reject, or change analytics consent at any time. Rejecting analytics removes GA4 cookies accessible to this site and stops the Analytics tag from loading on future page views. You can also clear cookies and local storage through your browser.
