Types of cookies we may use

Essential cookies

These cookies and technologies are necessary for the website or a service you have requested to work properly.

For example, they may be used for security, authentication, logging into your HiRec account, completing forms, processing your membership purchase or maintaining your session.

Because these technologies are necessary to provide the service you have requested, consent may not be required for their use.

Analytics and statistical cookies

We may use analytics or statistical technologies to help us understand how visitors use HiRec, such as which pages are visited, how people navigate around the website and how the website performs.

This information helps us understand and improve HiRec.

Where we rely on an applicable legal exception for statistical purposes, we will provide appropriate information and a simple way for you to object. Where an exception does not apply, we will ask for consent where required.

Functionality cookies

These technologies can help the website remember choices or provide enhanced functionality and a more personalised experience.

Where an applicable exception allows us to use these technologies without consent, we will provide appropriate information and a simple way for you to object. Where the exception does not apply, we will ask for consent where required.

Marketing and tracking cookies

We may in future use technologies that help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing or deliver more relevant advertising.

Where consent is required for these technologies, they will not be used unless you have made the appropriate choice to allow them.

Third party services

HiRec uses third party technology providers to operate parts of our website and membership service.

For example, third parties may provide website and membership hosting, payment processing, email functionality, analytics or other technical services.

Some of these providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies when you use the relevant features.

Where required, we will provide information about relevant third parties and the purposes for which these technologies are used.

Your cookie choices

Where consent is required, you can choose whether to allow the relevant cookies and similar technologies.

You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please be aware that blocking essential cookies may affect the way the HiRec website, checkout or member area works.

Where we rely on an exception that requires us to provide a way to object, we will provide an appropriate means for you to do so.

How long cookies last

Some cookies are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.

Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

The duration will depend on the particular cookie or technology and its purpose.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies or technologies used by HiRec change, if we introduce new services or if applicable law or regulatory guidance changes.
