This Cookie Policy explains how HAROLinked (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”) and the choices you have.
1) What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. We also use similar technologies (like pixels, tags, scripts, and local storage). For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as “trackers.”
Trackers help us:
-
Keep the Site working properly
-
Remember preferences
-
Understand how the Site is used
-
Improve performance and marketing (where permitted)
2) First-party and third-party trackers
Some trackers are set by HAROLinked (first-party). Others are set by service providers we use (third-party), such as analytics, security, or embedded content providers. These third parties may access and manage their own trackers, based on their policies.
3) Consent and how you can withdraw it
Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential trackers (for example, analytics or marketing). If you give consent, you can withdraw it at any time by updating your cookie preferences on the Site (via the cookie banner or settings panel, if available).
4) How we use cookies and trackers
We use trackers in the following categories (exact cookies may change over time):
A) Strictly Necessary (Essential)
These are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are used for things like:
-
Security and fraud prevention
-
Load balancing and performance
-
Basic page functionality
-
Form submission and account-related actions (if applicable)
B) Functional (Preferences)
These help the Site remember choices you make and improve your experience, such as:
-
Remembering your preferences (language, region, or saved settings)
-
Supporting live chat or contact features (if enabled)
-
Enhancing form experiences
C) Analytics (Measurement)
These help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it, such as:
-
Pages visited and time spent
-
Traffic sources
-
Site performance and error diagnostics
-
Aggregate usage patterns (not intended to directly identify you)
D) Marketing (If enabled)
These trackers may be used to:
-
Measure marketing campaign performance
-
Show relevant ads on other platforms
-
Build audiences for retargeting (where permitted)
5) Managing cookies in your browser
You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can usually:
-
Delete existing cookies
-
Block all cookies
-
Block third-party cookies
-
Allow cookies only for certain sites
If you block essential cookies, parts of the Site may not work correctly.
6) Do Not Track signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how to respond, we may not react to DNT signals in all cases.
7) Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. We will update the “Effective date” at the top when changes are made.
