For example, they may be used to remember:

Language preferences.

Such third parties may collect information about your interaction with their content.

Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies placed directly by HIREDIA.COM.

Third-party cookies are cookies placed by services or domains operated by third parties.

Third-party technologies may be used for analytics, advertising, security, embedded content, social-media features, or other functionality.

Because third-party services may change over time, the specific third-party cookies used on HIREDIA.COM may also change.

5. Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies may also be classified according to how long they remain on your device.

Session Cookies: These cookies generally remain on your device only while your browser session is active and are removed when the browser is closed.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.

The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and configuration.

6. Cookie Consent

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies, HIREDIA will seek consent before placing or using those cookies.

Our cookie-consent mechanism may allow you to:

Accept optional cookies.
Reject optional cookies.
Select particular categories of cookies.
Change your preferences later.
Withdraw consent where applicable.

Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate where permitted because they are necessary for the Website or a service specifically requested by you.

Where the GDPR or other applicable European privacy legislation applies, HIREDIA will seek to comply with applicable requirements concerning cookies and similar technologies.

Where consent is required, consent should be:

Freely given.
Specific.
Informed.
Unambiguous.
Capable of being withdrawn.

Withdrawing consent should be possible without unnecessary difficulty.

The legal basis for cookies that process personal data may depend on the type and purpose of the cookie.

9. Browser Controls

You can generally manage cookies through browsers such as:

Google Chrome.

Microsoft Edge.
Apple Safari.

Other modern browsers.

Browser settings may differ between devices and versions.

Because browser controls are operated by the browser provider, HIREDIA cannot guarantee that a particular browser setting will control every technology used on the Website.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers and devices provide "Do Not Track" or similar privacy signals.

There is currently no universally consistent technical standard governing all such signals.

Accordingly, HIREDIA may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.

Where applicable law requires HIREDIA to recognise a particular privacy signal, we will comply with the applicable requirement.

11. Analytics Services

HIREDIA may use third-party analytics services to understand Website traffic and usage.

Such services may use cookies or similar technologies.

Depending on the service used, information may include:

IP address or a truncated/modified IP address.

Contextual advertising.
Interest-based advertising.
Personalised advertising.
Frequency management.
Conversion measurement.
Fraud prevention.
Advertising analytics.

Where applicable law requires consent for such technologies, HIREDIA will seek the required consent.

13. Third-Party Websites

HIREDIA.COM may contain links to third-party websites, including government portals, recruitment websites, examination authorities, educational websites, advertisers, and other external services.

Once you leave HIREDIA.COM, the third party may use cookies according to its own policies.

HIREDIA does not control third-party cookie practices.

You should review the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies before using its website.

14. Cookies Used by WordPress and Plugins

HIREDIA.COM may use WordPress and third-party WordPress plugins or services.

Depending on the plugins and configuration used, these technologies may create cookies for purposes such as:

Security.
Login or session management.
Forms.
Spam prevention.
Analytics.
Advertising.
Performance.
User preferences.
Embedded content.
Other Website functionality.

The exact cookies used by HIREDIA may therefore change when plugins are installed, removed, updated, or reconfigured.

15. Cookie Duration

Different cookies may have different lifespans.

A cookie may remain on your device:

Only during your current browsing session.
For a defined number of days or months.
Until it expires.
Until you delete it.
Until the relevant service changes or removes it.

Because third-party services can change their cookie configurations, we do not guarantee that a particular cookie will always have the same lifespan.

16. Personal Information and Cookies

Some cookies may collect information that can identify or relate to a particular device or user.

Where cookie information constitutes personal data, we process it in accordance with applicable privacy laws and our Privacy Policy.

For more information about our processing of personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

17. International Data Transfers

Some third-party services used by HIREDIA may process information outside India or outside the European Economic Area.

Where applicable data-protection law imposes requirements on international transfers, HIREDIA will seek to use appropriate lawful safeguards.

Further information is available in our Privacy Policy or may be requested by contacting admin@hiredia.com.

Add or remove Website features.
Change analytics providers.
Change advertising providers.
Install or remove WordPress plugins.
